China's top legislature on Wednesday morning started debates on a cabinet report, which detailed government measures in stabilizing commodity prices since May, 2007.
Zhang Mao, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, delivered the report to lawmakers at a plenary session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee.
The National Bureau of Statistics said on Dec. 11 that China's CPI rose at a slowing annual rate of 2.4 percent in November.
The CPI rate had slowed for seven straight months because of a sharp fall in world commodity prices and sluggish demand amid the global financial crisis.
