Premier plots course for nation's sustainable, healthy development

Premier Li Keqiang's talks in Gansu province on Monday underscored his determination that the nation should rely on reform, rather than pump-priming, to promote sustainable growth.

To achieve sustainable and healthy development, the authorities should stick to rebalancing the economy while maintaining growth, employment and inflation within a reasonable range, Li said at a meeting in Lanzhou, the provincial capital, attended by provincial heads from the country's western regions.
