GUANGZHOU (Xinhua): The southern Chinese city of Foshan has issued e-vouchers to boost consumption, following similar programmes launched by several other Chinese cities to bail out the economy battered by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Starting from April, local residents and tourists can get the vouchers on Alibaba's online-payment service Alipay or an official application platform, and enjoy a cash rebate when making payments at offline shops.
