A Chinese camera operator records a press conference by Xu Shaoshi, director of China's National Development and Reform Commission, in Beijing, Sunday, March 6, 2016. China's top economic planning official Xu says any prediction that China's economy should have a hard landing is doomed to fail, and he assures the world that China will continue to contribute to, rather than to hurt, the global economy.
