BEIJING, March 6 (Reuters) - China will step up economic policy adjustments this year, Zheng Shanjie, the head of the state economic planner, told a news conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

China's 2024 growth target is in line with the country's economic potential, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) chair added. Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday announced an economic growth target of around 5%, which many analysts said was ambitious without much more stimulus.
