China's new Premier Wen Jiabao said in Beijing Tuesday that the
comparatively sluggish development of agriculture and the slow
increase of farmers' income have emerged as a major problem facing
his new cabinet.
This problem has become one of the major factors constraining the
expansion of domestic demand, said the premier while meeting the
press for the first time.
The premier said that his new cabinet is starting work on a "good
foundation" laid by his predecessors, or the previous cabinet
headed by Zhu Rongji, but the new cabinet must be prepared for
"possible adversities" and still faces many problems and
challenges.
