Second, car ownership should not be encouraged deliberately. Given the large population and intensifying urbanization, air pollution and road congestion are already serious enough. Reducing energy consumption, especially fossil fuel, was included in the State strategy of "sustainable development" formulated a few years ago. How can we forget our pledge so soon? Car ownership can be left to natural growth. There is no need to take deliberate steps to boost it.
Actually there is something more important for us to promote in our current campaign to boost domestic consumption. That is consumption in rural areas.
Rural residents make up the majority of China's population. If their will, and ability, to buy is really activated, the market is incredibly large and rural consumption will become a permanently powerful engine to propel China's economic growth.
We know that Chinese farmers have become much better off, on average, than in previous years. Almost every rural family has one or two or even more members working in cities as migrant workers, who bring their earnings back to the countryside in hopes to improve their living standards. They hope to own domestic electric appliances, even personal computers. However, manufacturers of these appliances are traditionally urban-oriented. Their products do not adapt to rural conditions. Farmers need practical, easy-to-use and wear-resistant appliances with fewer fancy functions. They also need to buy quality farm tools and they hope to build new houses.
