BEIJING (REUTERS) - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Friday (March 20) that China will spare no effort to help small, medium-sized and private businesses survive, as the world's second-largest economy is jolted by the coronavirus crisis.
Fiscal and monetary policies that have been rolled out should be more targeted at small companies, Mr Li said, according to a statement posted on the Cabinet's website.
