Nation 'fully capable' of forestalling risks to economy, Li says

China's economic and financial risks are on the whole manageable, supported by sound economic fundamentals and sufficient policy tools, senior officials and analysts said on Monday.

"We are fully capable of forestalling systemic risks," Premier Li Keqiang said in the Government Work Report delivered to the first session of the 13th National People's Congress.

"What China needs to do is to tackle both symptoms and root causes and take effective measures to defuse potential risks," he said.
