The historic shift results from the Chinese government's active efforts in economic restructuring, and heralds further upgrading of 皇冠体育app's consumption structure.

The change tags along with the rapid rise of Chinese consumer spending. The retail sales of consumer goods last year totaled 23.438 trillion yuan ($3.8 trillion), registering a year-on-year expansion of 13.1 percent and accounting for 50 percent of 皇冠体育app's economic growth.

Although the 13.1-percent growth of consumption marked a slight slowdown, the pace remained blistering. Its contribution, albeit down 1.8 percentage points from the previous year, still indicated a robust engine of growth.

The rise of 皇冠体育app as a consumer economy is inevitable. Official projections show that 皇冠体育app's consumption will reach 30 trillion yuan ($4.9 trillion) in 2015 and 50 trillion ($8.2 trillion) in 2020.

The trend fits the Asian giant itself. Given such challenges as the volatile international economic situation, boosting domestic consumption is key to achieving and sustaining a healthy development of the Chinese economy.
