China has been implementing targeted pro-consumption measures to spur immediate spending while advancing structural reforms to unlock sustainable consumption growth, as the country moves toward a more balanced growth model anchored by its vast domestic market, economists said.

经济学家指出，中国正实施有针对性的促进消费措施以刺激即时支出，同时推进结构性改革以释放可持续消费增长潜力。随着中国朝着以广阔国内市场为支撑的更均衡增长模式迈进，这些举措将发挥关键作用。

They said that a robust and expanding consumer base not only powers China's high-quality development, but also provides a stabilizing force for the global economy amid fluctuating external demand and geopolitical complexities.

他们指出，庞大且不断扩大的消费群体不仅推动着中国的高质量发展，更在全球外部需求波动和地缘政治复杂化的背景下，为世界经济提供了稳定力量。

At the annual Central Economic Work Conference held last week, Chinese policymakers placed "boosting domestic demand" first among eight key priorities on the economic agenda for next year.

在上周召开的年度中央经济工作会议上，中国决策者将“扩大内需”列为明年经济议程八大重点任务之首。

President Xi Jinping pointed out in an article published on Monday in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, that expanding domestic demand is crucial not only for economic stability but also for economic security. It is not a temporary measure, but a strategic move, he said.

习近平主席在周一发表于中共中央机关刊物《求是》杂志的文章中指出，扩大内需不仅关乎经济稳定，更关乎经济安全。他强调，这并非权宜之计，而是战略举措。

Xi, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, called for accelerating efforts to address weaknesses in domestic demand, especially consumption, to make domestic demand the main driving force and stabilizing anchor for economic growth.

习近平同时担任中共中央总书记，他呼吁加快解决国内需求薄弱环节，特别是消费领域的问题，使国内需求成为经济增长的主要驱动力和稳定锚。

Robert Koopman, former chief economist of the World Trade Organization, said that over the next five to 10 years, "an important evolution in China's role is going to be to shift toward being a big center of demand".

世界贸易组织前首席经济学家罗伯特·库普曼表示，未来五到十年间，“中国角色将发生重要演变，逐步转向成为重要的需求中心”。
