China has been active and responsible in coping with the global economic recession by earnestly dealing with its own business and comprehensively participating in international cooperation, Wen said.
China has always been paying great attention to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development and sticking to the expansion of domestic demand, especially consumption, as a foothold during the process of economic stimulus, Wen said.

China will strike an appropriate balance between maintaining economic growth, restructuring the economy and managing the inflation expectations, Wen said.
China will continue to implement active fiscal policy and moderately loose monetary policy amid the mounting evidence of consolidated economic recovery, Wen said.
Chinese government unveiled a 4-trillion yuan (586 billion U.S. dollars) stimulus package a year ago and industry stimulus and restructuring plans earlier this year for 10 sectors.
