Policy support to boost online platforms

BEIJING - China's online platforms that offer a multitude of services are expected to continue robust growth as the government has pledged more facilitating measures.

At the latest executive meeting of the State Council, China's Cabinet, authorities vowed another raft of measures to beef up the growth of the sector.

Analysts believe these will help upgrade the industry and consumption, deepen the supply-side structural reform and promote the establishment of a strong domestic market.
