Li Keqiang said: “The National Development and Reform Commission is the leading department of our country’s macro-control and is also the most important department. You are the main attackers of development and the fortified team of reform.”
Then, Li Keqiang raised his hands and was about to speak again, but he paused before speaking, as if he was a little absent-minded.
