Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, during an inspection tour in north China's Hebei Province, on
June 21, 2022, urged efforts to ensure grain security and energy supply to maintain the stability
of the economy and prices. He stressed efforts to ensure that grains are harvested in time and
stored in good conditions and said the sufficient supply of grains serves as an anchor for price
stability. Li Keqiang added that China's bumper wheat harvest not only satisfies its own
domestic needs but also contributes to the stability of the international grain market. At a
thermal power company in Zhuozhou, Li Keqiang said that, as China is now at the powerconsumption peak, efforts should be made to tap the production capacity of coal to further
enhance the power supply. He also pledged to stamp out power rationing and facilitate the
clean and efficient production of coal power and expedite the building of pumped-storage
hydroelectric plants
