China Calls for Stimulus Mount From State Media and Top Advisers

(Bloomberg) — Chinese policymakers are facing growing calls for economic stimulus, this time from several prominent state media and top government advisers.

The country’s three main state-run securities newspapers published front-page articles Wednesday saying the central bank is likely to ease monetary policy further, citing well-known economists.

Separately, the government’s Xinhua News Agency reported that Wang Huning, the No. 4 official in China’s ruling Communist Party, held a meeting Tuesday with representatives of other Chinese political parties to discuss policy suggestions on reviving consumption.
