‘Very difficult’ for China’s economy to grow 6% or faster: Premier Li Keqiang

China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 6.3% in the first half of the year, and Li said the economy was "generally stable" in the first eight months of the year.

The world’s No.2 economy faced “certain downward pressure” due to slowing global growth as well as the rise of protectionism and unilateralism, Li said in an interview with Russian media which was published on the Chinese government’s website, gov.cn. (Reuters)

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said it is “very difficult” for China’s economy to grow at a rate of 6% or more because of the high base from which it was starting and the complicated international backdrop.
