China Daily and 11 other media groups have united to ask the world to suggest questions, which may be presented to the premier when he meets the press on March 18.

On families

The family planning policy should not change. Overpopulation and climate change are the biggest threats to the health of our planet. By 2067, global population is projected to double. We need to think what kind of world we will leave behind for our children.

On prices

I hope China can tackle rising prices, otherwise the whole world will feel the pinch. The US is facing a slowdown in the economy and a pickup in inflation, a scenario that might deteriorate into stagnation. In the past, cheap Chinese products have helped keep inflation down, but that may end as exporters have to pass on rising costs.

On rights

In my home country, all earners pay tax and after doing so, they have the right to avail themselves of tax-funded services. When can we, as tax-paying foreigners in China, expect to enjoy the same? I have no problem with paying taxes in China, but it seems I have very few rights to services paid for by tax revenue when I need them.
