China will strive to achieve its economic development targets for 2019, state television reported on Wednesday, quoting the cabinet after a meeting chaired by the country's Premier Li Keqiang.

According to the report, Chinese Premier said the government aimed to "maintain steady economic operations and promote high-quality development".

China will speed up tax and fee cuts and push reforms to help shore up the confidence of companies, he said, adding that the government would adjust tax rebates for exports of goods and services.
