China is not the source of risk of the world economy, but one of the engines that is pushing its growth, said Premier Li Keqiang at the opening ceremony of 2015 Summer Davos forum.

The steady growth of Chinese economy also benefits the world, as the country contributed about 30 percent to the growth of world economy in the first half of this year, said Li.

He also said that although the sales volume of foreign trade seems grow slow in the first half, the total amount of imported commodity even had a year-on-year increase.

More than 100 million Chinese had outbound travels last year, and the number of tourists saw a 10 percent year-on-year increase in the first half of this year, said Li.
