Experts confident in growth objective

China is confident it will achieve its 6.5-to-7 percent annual growth objective because its economic fundamentals are sound and supply-side reform is well-planned, China's top think tank researchers said.

At a news conference organized by the State Council Information Office in Beijing on Wednesday, Huang Shouhong, vice-director of the State Council's Research Office, and Ma Jiantang, vice-head of the Chinese Academy of Governance, responded to reporters' queries about the Government Work Report.

Huang and Ma were key participants in the drafting of the report, which took half a year and refers to thousands of suggestions from governments at various levels, think tanks at home and abroad, enterprises and individuals.
