After being briefed on the capacity-cut progress at Jinan Iron and Steel Company, Li told employees that the drive needs support from both central and local authorities, and the government will ensure that workers made redundant in the process will be reassigned for other jobs.

Visiting a shantytown in Jinan city, the premier demanded greater efforts to speed up renovation as the project is an important part of China's new type of urbanization.
