Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited a wheat farm in a province neighboring the capital, underscoring his government’s lingering worries about food security and inflation.
Li stressed the importance of the wheat harvest this year while touring a farm in Gaobeidian, a city in the northern province of Hebei, Xinhua said on Tuesday. “Everyone should work hard to make sure we hold tight the rice bowls of 1.4 billion Chinese people,” he said.
