Core Viewpoint - China is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, gradually forming a "consumer society" model that is shared by all, emphasizing consumer-driven growth through continuous consumption upgrades [1][8]. Group 1: Consumer Demand and Supply - Consumer demand is inherently linked to individual choices and purchasing power, which is related to sustainable income levels. Short-term stimulus policies may temporarily improve purchasing power but do not lead to lasting improvements [2][3]. - The shift in consumption structure indicates that residents are moving from a focus on goods to a balanced consumption of goods and services, with service consumption projected to reach 46.1% of per capita consumption expenditure by 2024 [4][8]. Group 2: Government Role and Economic Policy - The government can enhance consumer choice by improving the institutional environment and optimizing the supply of goods and services. Employment-focused macro policies can stabilize income and expectations, which are crucial for consumer confidence [3][5]. - Economic policies should shift towards supply-side strategies, reducing macro tax burdens and investing more resources in human capital to stabilize consumption and achieve consumption upgrades [3][6]. Group 3: Investment in Human Capital - Social investment is essential for enhancing human capital, which is increasingly important as China transitions to a high-quality development phase. Investment in education, healthcare, and community services will be vital for fostering new consumption patterns [7][8]. - The focus on improving labor quality through continuous training and education will help expand the middle-income group, laying the foundation for a consumption-driven society [7][8].
