“The moderation of growth speed in China reflects both profound adjustments in the world economy as well as the law of economics.”“With a larger base figure, growth even at 7 percent will produce an annual increase of more than 800 billion US dollars at current price, larger than a 10 percent growth five years ago.”
“The good news is that in the past couple of years we did not resort to massive stimulus measures for economic growth, We still have more tools in our toolbox.”“We have the responsibility and the capacity to firmly safeguard stability”
