Policy to focus on stable job market

The Chinese government is confident the unemployment rate will remain low, and there are policies in the pipeline to support domestic workers affected by ongoing trade tensions, according to senior officials with the nation's top economic regulator.

Ha Zengyou, deputy head of the department of employment and income distribution of the National Development and Reform Commission, said China is not afraid of external effects on the domestic job market, and there is significant room for maneuver to reduce uncertainties.

"We would definitely not allow large-scale job losses to occur," Ha said. "Employment is our bottom line."
