Medicine, rehab care among import boosts

China will enact a large number of incentives to further boost imports in order to drive domestic industrial upgrading and better meet the increasingly diversified consumption demands of people, the State Council decided at an executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday.

Incentives to boost imports were decided on at the meeting. More support will be given to importing daily consumer goods, medicine and nursing and rehabilitation facilities to meet higher consumer demand and improve quality.

The government will also cut import taxes on particular goods and reduce institutional procedures and unreasonable price increases so consumers will benefit from the import duty cuts.
