2015年CRI 中国经济不会硬着陆 上海踩踏遇难者家属获赔80万（在线收听）

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang says the world's second largest economy is not heading for a hard landing.

Li was speaking at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a day after official data was released showing China posted its weakest growth rate in 24 years.

The premier admitted that China faces substantial downward pressure in 2015 but there would be no deviation from the focus on structural reform and better- balanced growth.

He also argued that efforts to shift China's economy away from one that is investment and export driven towards greater consumption will ultimately make growth more sustainable for China and the world.
