Chinese Premier Says Economy Can Grow in 2020 If Jobs Target Met

China’s economy can grow this year if the nation achieves its target of adding 9 million jobs, Premier Li Keqiang said in a visit to the western city of Chongqing.

Li called on the nation to step up its efforts and prepare for uncertainties after the economy achieved positive results in recent months, according to a statement posted on the central government website on Sunday. China also targets that smaller companies and business operators could survive this year from the coronavirus outbreak and economic downturn.
