Chinese President Xi Jinping said the nation needs to adapt to a “new normal” in the pace of economic growth and remain “cool-minded” amid a slowdown that analysts forecast will lead to the weakest expansion since 1990.
China’s growth fundamentals haven’t changed and the country is still in a “significant period of strategic opportunity,” Xi said, according to a Xinhua News Agency report on the central government websiteon May 10. At the same time, the government must prevent risks and take “timely countermeasures to reduce potential negative effects,” he said.
…The government will continue to balance the relationship between economic expansion, reform, restructuring, improving people’s well-being and preventing risks to ensure sound economic growth and social stability, Xi said during an inspection tour to the central province of Henan from May 9-10, according to Xinhua.
