China has started strong in the "three tough battles" against major risks, poverty and pollution despite greater downward pressure and external uncertainties this year.
A key economic meeting which charted a course for the Chinese economy in 2019 has declared that the country has won "the initial victory in its three tough battles," and targeted efforts will be taken next year.
The campaigns will not only ensure the establishment of a moderately prosperous society by 2020 but also help the world's second-largest economy achieve high-quality growth in the long haul.
