China's NDRC says China can achieve it's annual economic targets
Never mind that the market thinks differently
- NDRC will strengthen policy fine tuning and target adjustments
- Expects growth to keep within a reasonable range and for H2 to be stable
- Says current economic fundamentals are sound
- Economy faces difficulties and challenges
- Downward pressure on economy becomes more obvious
The National Development and Reform Commission with the comments
