BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao stressed on Sunday that the final ends of the nation's economic growth is to improve people's well-being, which is always a priority on the government's agenda amid the global financial crisis. Despite the tight fiscal condition, China beefed up the income and welfare enjoyed by the retirees and low-income residents, and unveiled the significant health-care reform in 2008, Wen told Xinhua in an exclusive interview. "We will overcome every difficulty to well implement the health-care reform which has close bearing on people's health," he said. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (L) speaks during an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency at Ziguangge building inside Zhongnanhai, an office compound of the Chinese central authorities at the heart of Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 27, 2009. Wen said the rural medical cooperative system has covered more than 800 million people, and more than 400 million urban dwellers had joined the urban medical insurance system. Although the health care security service has covered more than 1.2 billion people, the current safety level remains low, he said. Wen noted the government had made great efforts to step up health care infrastructure in rural areas and urban communities. Reforms are also made to make medicine more affordable for patients. He also stressed the significance of the pilot program of rural pension insurance. "Farmers aged over 60 could get 55 yuan a month. It is not a big sum, but it begins a new era," he said. Since the global economic crisis broke out at the end of last year, the Chinese government has timely implemented a stimulus package which stepped up financial support and policy incentives to improve people's well-being and stimulate domestic demand, in order to shore up economic recovery. China has spent 728.46 billion yuan (107.13 billion U.S. dollars) to enhance education and medical systems, social security, job promotion, affordable housing construction, and cultural development. The investment was an increase of 165.33 billion yuan from a year ago.
BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua)-- Premier Wen Jiabao admitted Sunday that it'd be good if lending by Chinese banks had not been growing on a too large scale as a result of the government's immediate response to the global financial crisis."It would be good if our bank lending was more balanced, better structured and not on such a large scale," he said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency. Wen said the State Council had noticed the problem in the middle of the year and moved to correct it. "It has been improving in the second half of this year," he said. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (L) smiles during an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency at Ziguangge building inside Zhongnanhai, an office compound of the Chinese central authorities at the heart of Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 27, 2009 Credit expansion was one of the "unexpected difficulties" China had encountered in dealing with the worst crisis in decades, Wen said. The State Council had to learn from past experience, detect problems and make persistent efforts to fight the crisis effectively, he said. Wen said it was too early to grade China's performance in tackling the crisis because it was far from over and much work was yet to be completed. He admitted that the State Council had time in the second half of the year to calmly reflect on the problems arising from the emergency response to the economic crisis. The State Council had thoroughly discussed measures to cultivate new economic growth points, especially relating to emerging strategic industries such as the Internet, the green economy, the low-carbon economy, sensor technology and bio-pharmacy, he said. "I think one of the linchpins for the world to overcome the economic crisis is wisdom, and, most importantly, science and technology," he said.
