Govt to fuel rural growth

Imagine the scenario: Half of China's rural households buy new TVs, redecorate with modern furniture or rebuild their homes with bricks and steel, while dreaming of sending their children to university.

The rural area has a mass potential for change and the direction and consumption trends adopted by the approximate 200 million families across the nation is expected to help sustain China's slowing economy.

The State Council has recently repeated the strategy of "further tapping the consumption potential in China's massive rural regions" when it reported to the National People's Congress on its economic policy portfolio for the next half of the year.
