BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- China will strengthen support for key consumer services in order to upgrade the consumption structure, an official said on Friday.
Several key sectors, including health care, senior citizen care, tourism, sports, hotels and catering, as well as education and training services will be prioritized, said Lin Nianxiu, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), at a press conference in Beijing.
