China will continue to cut down financial burden on its farmers
through various means, including downsizing the government payroll
in rural China, while offering more financial resources for rural
areas, Chinese new Premier Wen Jiabao said Tuesday in Beijing.
As
of this year, the increased portion of central government budget
earmarked for science and technology, education, culture and health
will go primarily to rural areas, said the premier.
