城市化刺激国内需求 |
| An official from the Development Research Center of the State Council said Saturday that urbanization would boost domestic demand by 30 trillion yuan (US$4.5 trillion) by 2030, Xinhua reports. It will assure a stable economic development for China even if exports decline. Urban migrants' demand for housing is likely to become the largest driving force for China's economic growth in the future. The core issue in China's urbanization is to allow farmers-turned-migrant workers to become permanent urban residents. |
