我国4万亿投资细节公布
China's new RMB4 trillion economic stimulus package includes RMB1.18 trillion from the central government through 2010, said Mu Hong, vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission on Friday.

"The RMB4 trillion is only part of the country's total investment. It is not the total," Mu said.
