Hu wants more done to boost economy
25-02-2009
President Hu Jintao has called for more "powerful" measures to counter further deterioration in the mainland economy. In a speech to the Communist Party's Politburo, Mr Hu called for more efforts to boost domestic demand. But he gave no details of specific policy proposals. The party has recently signalled that it intends to take measures during the National People's Congress session next month, to cushion the blow from the slowing economy.
