In working to hike domestic demand, China will focus on boosting consumption, Premier Li Keqiang said in his recent work report to the National People's Congress.

But since consumption is dependent on disposable income, salary increases become more significant and should be in line with the growth of the Consumer Price Index, CPPCC members said during a panel discussion.
