BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen
Jiabao on Friday reiterated that confidence is still what China needs most to
carry out its all-around economic stimulus package, which has just been approved
by the national legislature.
About half a year after the financial crisis began,
"I still believe, first and foremost, we need very strong confidence," Wen told
reporters at a press conference after the National People's Congress (NPC)
closed its annual session.
"Only when we have confidence can we have courage and
strength, and only when we have courage and strength can we overcome
difficulties," he said.
Wen previously stressed in New York during his U.S.
tour in September that "confidence is more important than gold or money."
"At that time (when the crisis began), all the world
felt lost and we could not see clearly the prospect of the financial crisis," he
said.
"I expect that next year both China and the world
will be better off," Wen told reporters.
