El Primer Ministro Wen Jiabao confirmó que se estaba haciendo un esfuerzo importante para ampliar y aplicar el plan de cuatro billones de yuan que ya se había anunciado, y que habría más fondos disponibles si las condiciones empeoraran.
Data on the scope of the stimulus package – for example, investment per province or the number of new projects versus those that more cash would restart or reinvigorate (and these projects versus those that would be shut down) – are difficult to determine. The transparency and consistency of official figures lags well behind the authorities’ hyped promises about government reform, streamlining of the bureaucracy, and the retreat of the Party apparatus.
