China witnessed steady and healthy economic growth last year, the nation's top economic planner said on Sunday.
國家發展改革委員會主任何立峰5日表示，去年我國經濟實現了平穩健康發展。

He Lifeng, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said "it wasn't easy" to achieve the forecast 6.7 percent growth rate, given the external uncertainties and economic downward pressure seen in 2016.

But within the context of the last year's situation, the expected 6.7 percent growth rate would be healthy, he said.
