Experts offer ideas to Li for work report

China will properly manage the timing, pace and intensity of macroeconomic controls to achieve higher quality growth, Premier Li Keqiang said.

Li made the remark while chairing a seminar on Monday afternoon at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound that solicited suggestions for the draft of this year's Government Work Report. He heard from seven representatives of academics as well as State-owned and private businesses.

Suggestions were given to the premier on building a more comprehensive innovation platform, unleashing the consumption potential of small cities while pushing forward with new urbanization, accelerating mixed-ownership reform of State-owned enterprises, stronger reform measures against the spillover effect of the world economy and better protections for private investment.
