China’s economy is in the transitional phase of structure adjustment and optimization and it is inevitable that views can differ between parties, Premier Li Keqiang said at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2016 on March 24.

To watch China’s economy is first to have an overall look at it, then at its trends, and finally at its long-term development, the Premier added.

“We do not avoid difficulties, which shows our confidence in the economy. We also have measures and methods,” Premier Li said. In general, hopes in China’s economy are greater than difficulties.
