Four obstacles hinder shift of economic growth mode in China

There are four obstacles hindering the smooth shift of China's economic growth mode, a leading economist of the country said in Beijing on Tuesday.

"China has always given top priority to the shift of its economic growth mode, but has so far been unable to attain this goal," said Wu Jinglian, a Standing Committee member of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top advisory body which is holding its annual full session in Beijing.
