XIAMEN (China) - CHINA'S economy is seeing more signs of economic strength, but a recovery is still not very solid, meaning Beijing will continue with its stimulative policies, State Councillor Ma Kai said on Tuesday.

'The trend of economic stabilisation is still not firm, not solidified, not balanced, and we still face many difficulties and problems,' Mr Ma told a financial forum in the coastal city of Xiamen.

The comments largely echo similar ones made recently by Premier Wen Jiabao and other officials. -- REUTERS
