China Economy: NDRC: Main development goals for 2017 achieved China's National Development and Reform Commission says the country was able to hit all its main economic development targets for 2017. The NDRC says China's economy ended 2017 on strong footing, with a better-than-expected expansion due to the improved quality and structure of economic development. The NDRC says the country faces a complicated international environment and challenges at home. But China will continue to deepen supply-side structural reform, carry out its rural revitalization strategy, and push forward a new pattern of all-around opening up.
