BEIJING: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday China was committed to forceful measures to cool its dangerously fast-growing economy, which has benefited global growth but, left unchecked, has the potential to drag it down.
Wen also said, on the eve of a 10-day tour that includes stops in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Ireland and Britain, that he hoped to build on a partnership with the European Union – his first visit to the continent since he was named premier in March last year.
