Hu made the remarks when joining a panel discussion of political advisors who gathered in Beijing for their annual full session that started Wednesday.
Non-public enterprises should have a clear understanding of the current situation, seize the opportunities and score greater achievements in strengthening their own competence and helping accelerate the transition of the country's economic growth pattern and improve people's livelihoods, Hu told the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Hu said he is glad to see more Chinese private enterprises are seeking business opportunities overseas and have obtained progress, but he warned them to guard against risks while seeking overseas expansion.
The political advisors at the panel discussion were from the non-communist China National Democratic Construction Association and the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce, an organization of private entrepreneurs.
Speaking to political advisors from the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League and the All China Confederation of Taiwan Compatriots, top legislator Wu Bangguo called on members of non-communist parties and people with no party affiliations to follow the lead of the Communist Party of China (CPC), cooperate with each other and rely on the people in the building of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), urged the organizations to take it a primary task to push forward China's campaign of scientific development, and make new contributions to the country's development and the transition of its economic growth pattern.

Authorities should invite experts to study the feasibility of major decisions linked to the country's social and economic development, and should listen to public opinions when making decisions of public concerns, Wen said.
He said the political advisors offered many realistic and insightful suggestions to help the country deal with challenges brought by the global financial crisis last year.
Wen encouraged them to track and keep their fingers on the pulse of internal and external economic conditions, which would become more complex this year, and to continue making suggestions to the government.

The country will stick to the CPC's ethnic policies and the system of regional autonomy of ethnic minorities, and explore a solution to ethnic issues with Chinese characteristics, he said.
The country will also push forward development of the regions inhabited by ethnic minorities, he said. "We should try to enable people from all ethnic groups to enjoy the fruit of the country's development and reform."
In addition, the country will take effective measures to prevent and crack down on ethnic separatist activities to safeguard stability, he said.
