Chinese Premier criticizes some countries for containing China's development

NANJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Monday that it is unfair that some countries demand appreciation of China's currency while practicing protectionism against China, and such actions are in fact aimed at containing China's development.

Wen made the remarks during the 12th China-EU summit, which opened in the east China city of Nanjing Monday.

Maintaining a stable yuan during the global financial crisis would not only benefit China's economic development, but also be conducive to world economic recovery, he said.
