President Hu's economic model is expected to be endorsed by the Communist Party at this week's Party Congress, AFP reported. His plan includes further emphasis on dealing with environmental concerns as well as reducing the economic inequalities, which have been growing in the past few years. The wealth gap is currently one of the key causes of social unrest across China, in addition to governmental corruption. Hu's economic ideology of a "scientific outlook on development" is expected to be incorporated into the constitution.
