NPC deputy Michael Tien gave an exclusive TV interview to China.org.cn in which he expressed his strong confidence in China's economic development in 2009 and stressed the important role of the high-quality service industry in reviving the economy in the Pearl River Delta region.

Deputy Tien is the chairman of the G2000 Group, the chairman of the Hong Kong Employees Retraining Board and the chairman of the Hong Kong Standing Committee on Language Education and Research.

Q4. China has a large population of residents in rural areas. In terms of how to use the service industry to create more jobs for them, do you have any suggestions? How can the government play a role in the process?
