China's National People's Congress has set the country's growth target for 2016 in a range of 6.5 to 7 per cent. Premier Li Keqiang will announce the target in his address to delegates, according to the text of his speech. The annual Congress in Beijing sets out to determine both the economic and political agenda for the country. It comes at a time when China struggles with slowing economic growth and a shift away from over reliance on manufacturing and heavy industry. The party congress is also expected to approve a new five-year plan, a legacy of the communist command economy.
