'Tools' available to maintain growth

Nation continues to have ample room to maneuver, regulator says

Amid downward pressure, the Chinese government will adopt more targeted measures and fine tune economic policies to stabilize growth in the second half of this year, according to the nation's top economic regulator.

The move is expected to prevent short-term fluctuations turning into a major downturn, said Ning Jizhe, a vice-chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission.
