"Li, essentially the man in charge of China's economy, the world's second largest, said China wanted a strong euro zone.

"It is in China's interest. We would like to see Greece staying in the euro zone and we urge the international creditors to reach an agreement with the Greek side," he said.

The European Union is pushing for a new global deal on climate change at U.N. talks later this year, hosted by France.

"Most of this goes to very successful, well-heeled companies that don't need the help in the first place," says Rep. Jeb Hensarling, Texas Republican and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
