Premier Li Keqiang said Tuesday that China will be able to keep its economic growth within a reasonable range even as the country faces difficulties and challenges. Li also said that China's overall debt levels remain under control. He said the government would be able to avoid systemic financial risks.

Li spoke on the same day when the State Council announced plans to open China's lower altitude airspace for civilian use. That would make it easier for smaller aircraft to fly through China.
