Speaking at a meeting on China's economy for the 2015-2016 period, which was attended by government officials, think tanks, and entrepreneurs, Yang Weimin, Deputy Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economic Affairs said: "Structural reform, especially cutting overcapacity, will inevitably affect the employment status and income of some people, but that's a step we have to take." He added that a mature support mechanism must be in place to ensure social stability, and by doing that, there won't be mass unemployment.
