BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) -- China aims to expand effective investment with priority given to new infrastructure, new urbanization initiatives and major projects, according to a government work report submitted to the national legislature for deliberation on Friday.
The prioritized efforts are expected to not only boost consumption and benefit the people, but also facilitate structural adjustments and enhance the sustainability of growth, according to the report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang at the opening meeting of the third session of the 13th National People's Congress.
