    [BEIJING] China's state planner approved 21 fixed-asset investment projects totaling 54.1 billion yuan (S$11.65 billion) in January, a spokesman for the organisation said at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

    The approved investment included 29.7 billion yuan in energy projects, and 11 billion yuan in the transportation sector, the National Reform and Development Commission (NDRC) said.
