China continues to express confidence that its domestic consumer goods market will soon surpass the United States to become the world’s largest.

In the past, Chinese authorities have rarely made such comparisons for fear of triggering fierce retaliation and an escalation of efforts at containment from Washington.

“We must well take advantage of our super-large market, trying to build a high-quality market system in five years.” The National Development and Reform Commission is responsible for drafting the five-year plan, with the details of dozens of compulsory and anticipatory steps expected to be unveiled in March at the National People’s Congress.

The Chinese economy expanded by 4.9 per cent in the third quarter of 2020, accelerating from a rise of 3.2 per cent in the second quarter and a fall of 6.8 per cent in the first quarter. Wang, the former deputy director of the Development Researcher Centre of the State Council, said China’s consumer market was likely to overtake the US this year, but warned that domestic consumption is still being restricted by the coronavirus, high household debt and a widening income gap.
