BEIJING -- Premier Li Keqiang on Monday said the public should benefit more from the Internet Plus model, which emphasizes applying internet technologies in traditional economic and social sectors.

Li made the call in an inspection tour to the city of Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

Li said there was huge potential to leverage the Internet Plus model to improve major areas of livelihood for the public, allowing people in poor or resources-scarce regions to gain access to better public services.
