BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- China will take policy steps to boost new types of consumption by supporting new business forms and models, with a view to promoting economic recovery. The meeting also outlined plans to advance medical education in an innovative way to build a talent pool for protecting people's health.
Consumption, as a key engine for growth, has been significantly affected by COVID-19 this year and become a drag on economic recovery.
