China's over 6 percent GDP growth target for 2021 is not low, said Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday during a virtual press conference after the closing of the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress, adding the number was "not set in stone" but intended to "guide expectations."

Li announced the growth target last Friday, which is almost 4 percentage points higher than the 2.3 percent economic growth in 2020.
