China ramps up efforts to boost consumption as virus hurts economy

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s state planner on Friday announced guidelines to boost residents’ property income and improve consumer market supply, in an effort to promote consumption as the coronavirus crisis takes a toll on the economy.
