The National Development and Reform Commission said today authorities will speed up the introduction of policies to stabilise employment and the economy.
At the same time, support for cities and businesses seriously affected by the ongoing trade war will be strengthened.
The central government says it is confident in achieving this year's economic and societal development goals.
The National Development and Reform Commission along with a number of governmental departments today addressed the stability of the nation's employment situation and economic policies.
On the issue of employment on the mainland in the first quarter of this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security noted the overall situation was stable.
It added that there was an additional employment of over 3 million people across mainland cities over that period.
But amid the ongoing Sino-U.S. trade conflict, some foreign trade enterprises have encountered difficulties, putting jobs at risk.
Authorities will soon implement a host of policies aimed at stabilising their businesses.
Yu Jiadong, the deputy head of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said the policies will primarily assist businesses that were more seriously affected by the trade conflict.
Such measures include increasing professional training and utilising public education organisations and human resources services to arrange recruitment events in hard hit cities.
Regarding the Trump's administration's tariff policy, National Development and Reform Commission Deputy Head Zhao Chenxin criticised Washington for abusing the so-called reciprocal tariffs.
He stressed these measures constitute an act of bullying, damage the global order and are bound to fail.
Responding to concerns about China's food security being affected by the U.S. tariffs, Zhao reassured residents by pointing out that the nation's grain production surpassed 700 million metric tonnes last year, adding that corn and soybeans imported from America only make up a small portion of China's food source.
