TIANJIN - Premier Li Keqiang reassured global CEOs on Sept 9 that China would achieve its GDP growth target of about 7.5 percent despite recent fluctuations.
Chinese economy is operating within a reasonable range, Li said.
The premier told his audience at the 2014 Summer Davos in Tianjin that ongoing anti-trust probes in China did not target specific industries or firms, and that foreign companies only accounted for 10 percent of companies involved.
“Premier Li’s answer is very reassuring,” said Alcoa CEO Klaus Kleinfeld.
“The rules apply to everyone,” Kleinfeld told Xinhua. “The premier has emphasized very strong desire to create a level playing field.”
