All government agencies should “take the initiative to fulfil their responsibilities and take more positive actions to complete their tasks”, Li demanded, as Beijing outlined a series of policies to boost growth in the face of economic headwinds.
Though they played up their confidence in the future of the world’s second-largest economy, Chinese leaders also emphasised during the two sessions that challenges remain, including weak domestic demand and intensifying trade frictions with the United States.
Li demanded that officials “closely monitor changes in the situation and make good policy preparations” to ensure that they can be launched in a timely manner and yield results as soon as possible, according to a readout of Wednesday’s meeting reported by Xinhua.
