China's State Council Information Office briefed media on "achievements in high-quality commerce development" during the period covered by the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021 – 2025).  

Over the past four years, total retail sales of consumer goods have shown growth at an average annual rate of 5.5 percent, maintaining China's position as the world's second-largest consumer market.
