China's top economic planner said that the country will reach out internationally to create new drivers for growth. The goal is to boost external demand by taking advantage of China's excess manufacturing capacity, said Xu Shaoshi, head of the National Development and Reform Commission.

国家发改委主任徐绍史表示，我国将与世界接轨，创造新动能。该目标就是要利用我国产能过剩提升外部需求。

徐绍史在世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)《中国产业合作新愿景》议题中承认，中国经济面临的下行压力(come under downward pressure)仍然较大。这体现在产能过剩，工业和投资速度下降，高速发展(high-growth )积累的矛盾和风险也在逐渐显现。尽管如此，他依然有理由中国经济充满信心。
