BEIJING: China's parliament opened its annual session Saturday, with Premier Wen Jiabao expected to acknowledge "great resentment" among the people over a range of issues, from soaring inflation to land grabs.
Wen opened the session of the National People's Congress with a "state of the nation" address, during which he will say the government is targeting eight percent growth for 2011 in the world's second-largest economy.
The parliament, with up to 3,000 delegates, is regarded as the world's biggest but is also widely seen as a body that merely rubber stamps the decisions of China's ruling Communist Party elite.
