BEIJING, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Tens of thousands of questions inquiring hefty housing prices, unemployment or wealth gap in China flocked into a government website as Premier Wen Jiabao readies for an online chat with netizens on Saturday afternoon.

Four hours after the news was announced at 8 a.m. (Beijing Time), more than 130,000 questions have been put forward in the central government's website (http://www.gov.cn).

The portal and http://www.xinhuanet.com of the Xinhua News Agency will jointly interview Premier Wen at 3 p.m. with chosen questions raised by netizens.

"I earn only 2,000 yuan (294 U.S. dollars) a month, half of which is paid for apartment rent. I find that buying my own apartment is a luxury now due to high housing price. Can you help to solve the problem?" asked a netizen named "Manman".

"How do house demolition projects reflect the people-oriented principle of the government work?" another netizen named "Chinese" asked, referring to cases of forced demolition during land development, some of which have aroused public anger.

Many queries were about key livelihood issues such as widening wealth gap, job-seeking problems, education, medicare and corruption.

Some also cared about economic development, energy security and environmental pollution in the country, which has the largest number of Internet users in the world.

The country reported 384 million Internet users, or about one third of the country's 1.3 billion population, by the end of 2009, up by 28.9 percent from a year ago, according to a January report of the China Internet Network Information Center.

Wen jumped in his first ever online chat on Feb. 28, 2009 at the two sites, facing questions from nearly 300,000 netizens and mobile phone users ranging from unemployment, wealth gap, social justice to democracy.

The premier said he had used the Internet to listen to public opinions and suggestions.

Netizens have also proffered tens of thousands of questions and advices for Chinese leaders and the government at major Chinese news portals before the country's top legislature and advisory body open annual sessions next week.

Great Idea by the Chinese PM. Should be done by others too.

No offense meant, not that I like Obama but ..

Where is the connection between a leader elected by the people to whom he has to go back after a fixed term & seek re election & a leader elected /selected from within the ranks of a single party state ?

 

[xuxu1457]

it is 15:32 now you can ask questions ~~ from 15:00 to 17:00 about 2 hours

 

[xuxu1457]

Internet users from home and abroad reacted enthusiastically and as of 2:59 p.m. they have raised nearly 40,000 questions. The following are some of them:

-- Have you ever watched the TV opera Dwelling Narrowness? (The popular domestic TV opera depicts the lives of modern-day young people under the pressure of rocketing housing prices)

-- As a premier, can you afford an apartment in Beijing with your current salary?

-- What Internet portals do you often visit?

-- Please pay attention to the country's 130 million heptitis B carriers.

-- Whether the government has a schedule to promote the officials' asset reporting system.

-- I wonder why we common people feel difficult to obtain loans in banks but rich people feel easy. Our generaiton born after the 1980s want to start our own business, and we want to get some loans to have our own venture so as to contribute to the country.

-- When can China become a real sports power instead of just grabbing Olympic gold medals?

our top leaders are elected for 5 year terms and have to seek re-election. our last premier Zhu Rongji, for example, was a 1 term premier.

you are wrong. their literacy rate is higher than 40%. they only discriminate their mothers, sisters and daughters, and thus have a 50% female literacy rate. on the other hand, the male literacy rate is better.

1. Why bring India into this, if Indian member brought India u people complain now u r inviting our comments.

2. Literacy rate in India is more that 64.84% by 2001 census (9 year old data) .

Literacy - Profile - Know India: National Portal of India

3. As per discrimination to Female, every body knows about China where is shortage of 24 million of brides as u have killed ur women. This speaks tall about ur treatment and hypocrisy about women.

Back to the topic, it is state sponsored and drama propaganda. I have tried to chat but in vain.

Somebody keeps forgetting a simple truth: the Universe is a unity of differences.

The Universe is also big enough to tolerate more than one type of elections!
