China does not set a growth target for 2020 due to 'great uncertainty'

Description

Beijing, May 22 (EFE).- China will not set a target for economic growth this year due to "great uncertainty" regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the global economic and trade environment, the Chinese prime minister announced at the opening session of the National People's Congress on Friday."We have not set a specific target for economic growth this year. This is because our country will face some factors that are difficult to predict in its development, due to the great uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the world economic and trade environment," Li Keqiang told the 3,000 delegates gathered from around the country for China's main annual political event.(Camera: JESÚS CENTENO).FOOTAGE SHOWS B-ROLLS OF SECURITY OFFICIALS OUTSIDE THE GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE IN BEIJING, CHINA, AND MOMENTS FROM THE OPENING SESSION OF CHINA'S NATIONAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS (NPC) INSIDE THE HALL.
