作为发展中国家,我们面临着发展经济和改善环境的两难抉择,面临着提高人民群众消费水平与节约有限资源的双重压力。中国的基本国情决定了我们既不应像当前的一些发达国家那样过分地一味追求高消费生活方式,也不能简单地“节制消费”。为了实现可持续发展,中国人的衣食住行用等基本消费应当是俭朴、实惠型的。当前的市场疲软是引导群众以科学、合理、适度消费促进经济结构调整和优化的大好时机。不能单纯依靠降低利率、实行消费信贷等措施鼓励对积压品的消费,否则,其结果只能是固化现有的产业结构,弱化市场调节功能,进一步造成资源的浪费和产品的积压。这就需要我们在正确的思想观念指导下,积极探索出以可持续消费方式促进经济健康增长的道路。 As a developing country, we are faced with the dilemma of developing the economy and improving the environment. We are facing the dual pressures of raising the level of people’s consumption and saving limited resources. China’s basic national conditions determine that neither of us should pursue the high-consumption lifestyle too much like the current developed countries nor simply control the consumption. In order to achieve sustainable development, the basic consumption of basic necessities such as food, clothing and shelter should be frugal and affordable. The current weak market is a golden opportunity to guide the masses to promote the economic restructuring and optimization with scientific, reasonable and moderate consumption. We can not simply rely on such measures as lowering interest rates and implementing consumer credit to encourage the consumption of backlogs. Otherwise, the result will be to solidify the existing industrial structure, weaken the market regulation function, further waste resources and backlog products. This requires that we, under the guidance of the correct ideology, actively explore the road to promoting healthy economic growth through sustainable consumption.
