China said on Thursday it would inject 300 billion yuan ($44 billion) into state-owned banks this year to guard against systemic risks, and boost financing for technology companies amid intensifying U.S. rivalry. The measures were outlined in the annual government work report released at the opening session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's rubber-stamp parliament. The report said Beijing would further replenish the capital at financial institutions and prudently dispose of non-performing assets in the sector.
