Dai delivered a speech on behalf of Chinese President Hu Jintao at the leaders' meeting of the Group of Eight (G8) and five leading emerging economies (G5) -- China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico.

These measures include a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately easy monetary policy, a stimulus package worth 4000 billion yuan ($587 billion) designed to expand domestic demand, and a tax-cut package of 500 billion yuan, Dai said. China also has striven to readjust its economic structure, accelerate infrastructure construction, seek balanced development between urban and rural areas, and improve social security system and people's life, Dai said.
