BEIJING (China DailyANN): Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed the need to unleash consumer demand that has been restrained as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Xi, the general secretary of the Communist Party of China, chaired a key meeting on Wednesday where he called for integrated efforts to expand domestic consumption.
At the meeting, Xi said the country had seen a positive momentum in containing the outbreak, with the normal order of work and life seeing faster resumption as a result of the whole country's arduous efforts. He called for unrelenting effort and unremitting vigilance in containing the contagion, citing the arduous work in epidemic control in Hubei province and its capital, Wuhan, as well as mounting risks of transmission brought by increasing population movements and gatherings in areas outside Hubei.
Leading businesses will receive support in resuming production so that the stability of global value chains is safeguarded, according to the statement. The meeting called for continuous effort to battle the contagion in Hubei and Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, with measures to beef up epidemic prevention and control inside communities and ensure that patients in critical condition are transferred to special hospitals with sophisticated levels of treatment.
