Urban residents feel high economic pressure: survey

BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Survey results published Tuesday show that over half of China's urban residents feel they are under "high economic pressure."

A total of 51.3 percent of urban residents surveyed said they feel great economic pressure, according to a survey included in the Blue Book of China's Society issued by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The blue book says the widely felt economic pressure is closely related to consumer confidence and people's limited tolerance for price fluctuations.
