Chinese Premier Li Keqiang giving a briefing,

  • Financial sector should support real economy
  • Financial sector should support small companies development
  • banks' bad loans are on the rise, some industries face difficulties
  • banks have enough bad loan provisiosn to cope with risks
  • Will use some market-oriented measures to lower debt levels at companies
  • Will use debt to equity swaps to lower debt levels

More comments, of the 'watch for risks, protect investors' sort of variety.

If anything else of significance, I'll update.

Here we go:

  • Its impossible that China will not accomplish its economic targets this year
  • Downward pressure on economy persists
