Fueling domestic demand

The ongoing National People's Congress session has seen top officials map out a clearer roadmap for further unleashing the growth potential of the world's second-largest economy.

Zhang Ping, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said on Wednesday that the country will rely on urbanization and domestic consumption to sustain stable growth after 30 years of blisteringly fast expansion.

Echoing Premier Wen Jiabao's speech a day earlier, Zhang said there is still much room for further expansion of China's economy as urbanization and domestic demand will be the new engines for future growth.
