The article discusses a meeting of the Chinese National People's Congress in March 2016 in which the nation's government announced its adjusted economic growth target for 2016, and it mentions how various economists, executives, and policy makers around the world have asked the Chinese government to stop issuing economic growth target goals. According to the article, some experts claim that economic growth targets harm China's economy and encourage government officials to falsify data.
