Xu Yuanyuan, a deputy from the southern province of Guangdong, said on Monday she was ready to raise the topic at the session.

"The government should not remain silent on the 'paper tiger' incident any more," said Xu, an automation specialist. "It is responsible for revealing the truth to the public."

According to an online poll by several leading Chinese websites including xinhuanet.com and sina.com, the "paper tiger" saga is one of the major issues the public wishes the forthcoming parliament session to address, alongside price hikes, housing, education and medical service.

The State Forestry Administration said late on Monday that months of field survey by its own experts had failed to find any "concrete evidence" of South China tiger in Zhenping county of Shaanxi, where the photos were purportedly taken last fall.

But the administration said the field survey would last for a while and the team would publicize the results as soon as it was finished.
