Core Viewpoint - Despite facing multiple challenges in recent years, China's economy has made significant progress in technological transformation and upgrading in key industries, leading to an increase in overall productivity and supply-side capabilities [2][4] Group 1: Demand-Supply Relationship - The primary contradiction in the current demand-supply relationship is insufficient demand, which has been a typical fact in recent years [2] - Within total demand, the main contradiction is insufficient domestic demand, with external demand contributing significantly more to GDP growth compared to previous periods [2][3] - The investment and consumption dynamics show that consumption is the more prominent issue, with consumption rates in China significantly lower than the international average [3][4] Group 2: Consumer Behavior - Among total consumption, the weakness in household consumption is a major concern, with data indicating that China's household consumption rate is 18 percentage points lower than the G20 average [3] - Service consumption, particularly in education, healthcare, and housing, is lagging, which is linked to the slow progress in equalizing basic public services [3][4] Group 3: Public Resource Allocation - The allocation of public resources has historically favored investment and development, which has led to a relative weakness in final consumption [4][6] - There is a need to optimize the allocation of public resources to support consumer spending without hindering supply-side advancements [5][6] Group 4: Strategies for Boosting Consumption - To stimulate consumption, it is essential to adjust the focus of public resource allocation towards enhancing final consumption and expanding domestic demand [7] - Systematic reforms in public services and fiscal policies are necessary to improve accessibility and equality in services for urban and rural residents [7][8] - Reforms in the household registration system and land use rights are crucial for fostering urban-rural integration and enhancing consumer capacity [8]
