China has not set a specific economic growth target for this year.

It says the decision was made because the country still face some factors that are difficult to predict in its development due to the great uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the world economic and trade environment.
China will give priority to stabilizing employment and ensuring living standards.
China aims to add over 9 million new urban jobs in 2020, and keep the surveyed urban unemployment rate at around 6 percent.
The country will ensure the elimination of poverty among all rural residents living below the current poverty line and in all poor counties.
The report says China's deficit-to-GDP ratio this year is projected at more than 3.6 percent.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian says China opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
He made the remarks when responding to a question that the U.S. government has notified Congress of a possible sale of advanced torpedoes worth 180 million U.S. dollars to Taiwan.
He says China is urging the US to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués.
President Donald Trump says the U.S. is withdrawing from the Treaty on Open Skies.
It is the country's latest move to abandon a major international arms control agreement.
"Russia and us have developed very good relationship, as you know, we worked on the oil problem together. I think we have a very good relationship with Russia. But Russia didn't adhere to the treaty. So until they adhere, we will pull out. But, there's a very good chance we'll make a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says her country is awaiting official clarifications from the U.S. on pulling out of the treaty before commenting further on the issue.
The treaty, which became effective in 2002, allows its state-parties to conduct short-notice, unarmed reconnaissance flights over the others' entire territories to collect data on military forces and activities.
Currently, 35 nations, including Russia, the U.S., and some other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, have signed it.
A new study says if the U.S. had imposed social distancing measures a week earlier in March, around 36,000 people who died from COVID-19 could have been saved.

The study also found that about 83 percent of the deaths would have been avoided if the country had begun locking down cities and limiting social contact by March 1st.
Most Americans started staying at home and observing social distancing in the middle of March.
The researchers found that even small differences in timing would have prevented growth in cases and casualties.
