SHENYANG, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Northeast China's Liaoning Province is eyeing economic growth of about 5 percent in 2023, according to the ongoing annual session of the provincial people's congress.
Liaoning aims to increase its 2023 fixed-asset investment, total retail sales and foreign trade by 10 percent, 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively, said Li Lecheng, the governor who delivered the government work report at the session on Thursday.
