Lian Weiliang, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said the country will make investment more targeted and effective and refrain from resorting to massive economic stimulus.
Li said businesses are weighed down by too many charges. The country is on track to deliver its promise to slash costs by 1 trillion yuan (7.1 billion) this year, he said.
Li made the remarks during his meeting with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross at the Zhongnanhai compound in Beijing.
Li said the construction of water conservancy projects and their support facilities should be the focus of current efforts to expand effective investment, as it will help improve the ability to prevent and mitigate natural disasters, consolidate the foundation of agriculture, boost the development of related industries and equipment, as well as create more jobs for rural migrant workers.
Li suggested more robust research and the collection of more comprehensive data to understand the effect of climate change on the plateau.
