Beijing, Feb 6 (Prensa Latina) China will stimulate domestic consumption in 2024 with a series of measures that will boost purchases of mainly vehicles and household appliances, an official source said.

According to the Vice Minister of Commerce, Sheng Qiuping, together with household furniture, these products are the focus of traditional usage and are closely related to people’s lives. Beijing will work to promote the exchange of vehicles this year due to high demand and replacement potential, he added.

On the other hand, the volume of second-hand cars sold in the country reached 18.41 million units in 2023, nearly 15% up.
