Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is scheduled to chat with Internet users at 3:00 PM (Beijing Time) Saturday at two state news portals.

The two major portals, www.gov.cn, of the central government, and www.xinhuanet.com, of the Xinhua News Agency, will jointly interview Premier Wen, a Standing Committee member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

Netizens in China and abroad are invited to raise questions to Wen via the Development Forum (http://forum.xinhuanet.com), and the premier is expected to answer some of these questions.

The on-line chat will be shown live in texts, pictures and videos at the two portals.
