BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) will launch a 1.5-year campaign from this month to learn and implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau said here on Friday.

    The meeting was presided over by and CPC Central Committee General Secretary Hu Jintao, also Chinese president.

    As Hu explained in his keynote speech at the 17th CPC National Congress in October 2007, the guideline takes development as its essence.
