In the meantime, private businesses created more than 70 percent of jobs in China's urban areas, according to Zhang Ping, director of China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

China's non-public economy, which plays an important role in sustaining economic development and creating jobs, had developed at very fast speed since the reform and opening-up policy was initiated 30 years ago, said Zhang.
