World media hail China´s work to improve people´s livelihood

The Paris-based Nouvelles d' Europe, the biggest Chinese newspaper in Europe, published a commentary saying the Chinese government has presented the draft budget for 2009 in a clear way and explained in detail where the money is from and will go.

The draft budget has given particular attention to such fields as agriculture, education, health care and welfare that people care most, the commentary added.

The U.S. Chinese Biz News quoted the work report of Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the NPC as saying that the committee will improve supervision over issues affecting people's well-being.

The Japanese business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun also quoted Wu Bangguo as saying that China is to enforce the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and will never simply copy the system of Western countries or introduce a system of multiple parties holding office in rotation, a system with the separation of the three powers or a bicameral system.
