Li said Chinese economy has sustained a steady recovery, and major economic indicators have been running within an appropriate range.
"More than 70,000 new market entities get registered on an average day, a show of rising economic vitality at the micro level. Employment is picking up, with over nine million new urban jobs added in the first eight months of the year.
