China beefs up security on first day of National People's Congress

Beijing, May 22 (EFE/EPA).- China will not set a target for economic growth this year due to "great uncertainty" regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the global economic and trade environment, the Chinese prime minister announced at the opening session of the National People's Congress on Friday."We have not set a specific target for economic growth this year. This is because our country will face some factors that are difficult to predict in its development, due to the great uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the world economic and trade environment," Li Keqiang told the 3,000 delegates gathered from around the country for China's main annual political event."Not setting a specific target for economic growth will enable all of us to concentrate on ensuring stability on the six fronts and security in the six areas," he added.
