Beijing: China needs to shift away from over-reliance on heavy industries, large-scale and careless expansion, and the depletion of the country`s natural resources, President Xi Jinping said on Saturday, according to state media.
China`s air, water and soil pollution need to be tackled, he added, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
Xi said the country`s rapid economic growth had caused many environmental problems, according to Xinhua.
"Under these circumstances, we must exert significant efforts to reverse course," he said.
