JINAN - Senior Chinese Political Advisor Wang Gang has called for efforts to step up economic restructuring, optimize the industrial structure and improve innovation capability.

Wang, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks during his inspection tour in Qingdao, Yantai, Weifang and Jinan cities in east China's Shandong province between May 11 and 16.

China registered a relatively fast economic growth this year, but the foundation for the economic recovery was still not solid, he added.

He called on local authorities to enhance their awareness of the importance and urgency of economic restructuring, further deepen reform and opening up, improve the people's livelihood, and keep a stable and relatively fast economic development.
