China is set to become the global leader in renewable technology, aiding the rise of a moderately prosperous society following the significant reforms implemented in the five-year plan.
Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC, told Chinese journalists in Sydney that China will become a global leader in environmental technology as the sector becomes more globally important.
Neumann said China leapfrogged certain technology, going to the advanced stuff more quickly and that's positive for China's anti-pollution policy.
China's move into this space likely adds competitive pressure on the renewable energy sector as the world slowly transitions into a green economy.
Australia's former Foreign Minister Bob Carr said China will become a moderately prosperous society through the significant reform process that is creating a booming middle class which is expected to add an additional 850 million members by 2030.
Carr said, however, that the world is looking to China to implement its environmental reforms to create a "green" China.

Experts say the relaxation of the family planning policy in China might be good news for those who want bigger families, but it imposes pressure on women who are reluctant to have a second child due to concerns of the financial cost of raising another child.
Dr. Anna Smajdor, a reproduction and childbirth ethics expert at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, said that in many cases, it is not that women are not allowed to have more children, but that they do not want to.
She said many countries are seeing a similar phenomenon, because if women have choice and economic freedom, they do not have as many babies, and they have them later in life thus further entrenching the aging population.

专家表示，对那些想要大家庭的人来说，中国放宽计划生育政策是个好消息，但这同时也增加了不太愿意生二胎的女性的压力，因为她们对再抚养一个孩子的经济支出有所担忧。
英国东安格利亚大学生殖和生育伦理学专家安娜·博士表示，在许多情况下，并不是女性不被允许生育更多孩子，而是她们不想这么做。
她表示，许多国家存在这种类似的情况，因为如果女性可以自由选择并且拥有经济自由，那她们不会生太多的孩子，而在之后生孩子则会进一下加剧人口老龄化。
