China should beware of external economic risks

Author: xinhua

BEIJING: A Chinese official said Saturday that the country should pay attention to external economic risks, including rising trade protectionism and uncertainties from developed economies. Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao made the remarks before attending a panel discussion during the annual session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee, which opened Friday.

Zhu, also a national political advisor, said risks may come from new economic policies of the United States and the Federal Reserve’s possible rate adjustments. China should stick to the main theme of “seeking progress while maintaining stability” in 2017, aiming for more progress in its supply-side structural reform, Zhu said.
