China will put every economic policy in place to cope with the problems such as excessive fixed assets investment and electricity shortage, said Chinese Vice-Premier Huang Ju on Sunday.
Chinese economy is undergoing a favorable situation but problems still exist, Huang said during his visit to east China's Jiangxi Province.
The fixed assets investment has grown too fast and the lending also increased a bit rapidly despite the country is running short of coal, electricity, oil, several major productive material and transportation capacity, he added.
Governments of all levels are urged to keep lending at a moderate rise, tighten the management of land use, curb the blind investment and low-level expansion in some industries, Huang said.
The projects, which is under construction but did not fit into the state development policy and plan, the market entry standards or the procedure of government approval, will be asked to stop or suspend, he said.
The government will also tighten the approval to new projects in the overheating industries, he said.
The government will keep a keen eye on transportation operation and try to keep a balance between the supply and demand of coal, electricity and oil so that people's daily life and industrial production will not be affected, he said.
