As part of its efforts to rejuvenate its flagging eco**my, China has revealed its plans to lay off 5 million to 6 million state workers in the coal and steel industries in the next two to three years.
During a meeting between China's premier Li Keqiang and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew in Beijing on Monday, Li pledged to avoid devaluing its currency to boost eco**my growth.
"China does **t intend to devalue the renminbi [yuan] to engage in a trade war," said Chinese Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao.

Facing global pressure to reassure financial markets, Li told Lew that China will move ahead with its long-term plan to squeeze excess production capacity out of industries where supply exceeds demand, reported (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/1d7d8c1fab304712a078f494d68e70f2/china-assures-us-**-devaluation-pushing-reforms-forward) AP.
