Li: Internet Plus plays important role in growth

The "Internet Plus" model has created new growth drivers in China's development to avoid an economic "hard landing" for the country, Premier Li Keqiang said.

In recent years, the model has motivated China to transform its functions, energize the market, promote consumption as the main force of development and alter the economic structure to deepen reform.

Now, China's economy is stable and improving, and these new growth drivers play important roles.

In addition, "Internet Plus" is also the biggest sharing economy platform, which provides vast opportunities for mass entrepreneurship and innovation. It is changing people's lives, and gives more avenues to tech elite and entrepreneurs to present their abilities, as well as grassroots people to show their values.

As a new model, the "Internet Plus" also has some problems. We should seek advantages and avoiding disadvantages to the model, adopting a tolerant and prudent attitude to supervise "Internet Plus", Li said.

We cannot negate the "Internet Plus" model when some problems appear, and not allow people to use the model to cheat and ruin its reputation, the premier added.
