China's economic powerhouse is under pressure to deliver. Premier Li Qiang just wrapped up a high-stakes visit to Guangdong, the nation's biggest GDP contributor, demanding that the province take the lead in a national economic revival.
Li Qiang’s Mandate for ‘Extraordinary’ Measures in Guangdong
During his 3-day visit from Saturday to Monday, Li Qiang urged local officials to strengthen their edge in innovation and spearhead "reform and opening up."
