China's GDP is expected to grow by over 6 trillion yuan (about $869.6 billion) this year, the head of the country's top economic planner said on Friday.

This economic expansion will provide solid support for employment, people's well-being and risk prevention, Zheng Shanjie, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), told a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress.
