China Web March 14: This morning, Premier Wen Jiabao met with Chinese and foreign journalists who interviewed the four meetings of the National People's Congress in the Great Hall of the people and answered the questions posed by reporters. Mr. Wen said the measures taken to rein in inflation expectations and curb inflation have been addressed in detail in my report on government work. I don't want to repeat too much.　　I am just saying that we are confident that we can manage inflation expectations. Last November, we reached a high price of 5.1%.　　By December, I mean the level of consumer prices has dropped to 4.6%. As for prices, Mr Wen says we dare not be complacent. We are trying to manage inflation expectations in three ways. First of all, to develop production, especially agricultural production guarantee supply; second, strengthen circulation, especially to strengthen the weak link of agricultural product circulation; Third, the main use of economic and legal means to manage the market.
