Don Davis, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Kingsway

I would want to ask him how long-range planning works in China and what suggestions he would have for a country like Canada in this regard.

Iris Jin, Senior Program Manager

I would want to ask him how China is going to deal with land rights in the rural areas

Sarah Boumphrey, Head of Strategic, Economic and Consumer Insight, Euromonitor International

What are the government's three main policy priorities for boosting private consumption in China in the next 5 years?

Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King's College London.

Does he feel that equity and efficiency are improving in the Chinese economy?

Tony Glencross, Managing Director, Monitor Publications Limited, Uganda

The biggest problem in Africa is the lack of discipline and greed - how can we apply the Chinese ethic and standards to African society from grass roots levels so that we can overcome these problems over time and become a people of wealth creation and not just consumers.

Shada Islam, Policy Director of Friends of Europe, Brussels-based think tank

My question would be simple: what is the economic legacy that you would like to leave for future generations?

You-Zhi Tang, CEO, Canada CleanTech Capital (China) Inc.

I would ask Premier Li how he would deal with the smog/haze issue that has attracted lots of public and media attentions in recent years.

Adam Holbrook, Associate Director of Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technology, Adjunct Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, Canada.

It will be very important that Premier Li meets our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau privately for at least a full day. I realize this is a significant investment of your time.

Canada has just gone through a "generational change" in leadership, and these changes will start to occur elsewhere in the world. China's leadership can provide helpful guidance, and your views, as an established statesman, would be helpful.

But at the same time I would hope that PM Trudeau will be able to debate with you on issues that will represent a discussion between equals.

Being so close to the United States, we will be unavoidably affected by the result of the current US presidential election cycle, and Canada will likely have to make some serious foreign policy adjustments in the new future.

Michael Wenderoth, associate professor of marketing at Spain's IE Business School

What trend that you see abroad most intrigues you? What trend abroad most disturbs and worries you?

Knowing what the premier looks at abroad I think would be very telling as to the sense through which China sees the world and how it wants to interact with the rest of the world.
