China says lower business costs coming BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leaders promised Monday to promote eco- nomic growth by cutting business costs and reducing surplus pro- duction capacity in some indus- tries as they try to reverse an unex- pectedly sharp downturn. After an annual planning meet- ing, Communist Party leaders also promised to reduce financial risks and rein in rising debt that has prompted concern about possible threats to China’s financial system. The leadership under President Xi Jinping is in the midst of a multi-year effort to nurture slower, more sustainable growth based on domestic consumption instead of trade and investment. Growth has slowed more abruptly than expect- ed over the past two years, forcing the party to juggle competing demands of shoring up the expan- sion while keeping reforms on track. The pledges in Monday’s brief statement weren’t new, but they indicate where the ruling party’s priorities will lie in 2016. The statement also gave no details of how key issues such as the status of state companies that dominate industries from banking to energy to telecoms would be affected.
