Netizens are proffering numerous questions and advice for Premier Wen Jiabao for the new sessions of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.

"How do ordinary people like me afford expensive housing?" one asked.

"What are the policies on education for migrant workers' children?" said another.

By yesterday about 300,000 questions and offers of advice were listed on Xinhuanet.com.

More than 1.5 million Netizens have posted Internet messages.

One Netizen invited Wen to rethink the measures taken by the government in the recent snow disaster, only some of which worked successfully.

"I wonder if Premier Wen can provide a pension for peasant workers above 65 years old," wrote a Netizen.

"We only need one yuan (14 US cents) for one meal, which is 90 yuan a month, to be happy in our later years."

On the People's Daily Website, Wen was invited by one Netizen to listen to the real thoughts of the public.

Compared to other mediums, the Internet was more comprehensive and more sincere for communication, the posting said.

On the China Central Television (CCTV) Website, Netizens were being encouraged to question the government about policies affecting their livelihood.

The government, which encouraged the portals to promote public participation before and during the two sessions, was planning to review some of the online suggestions.

CCTV wrote on its Website that it wanted to "build a bridge between Netizens and the government."

Currently, Chinese Netizens number about 210 million, about one-sixth of the country's population, official statistics show.
