Holiday consumption People-focused policy

Oct 1–6

CCTV relates consumer demand to Xi Jinping's people-centered development principles and reports Commerce Ministry measurements for October 1–6: traffic at 78 monitored pedestrian streets and business districts rose 2.5% year on year and turnover 4.7%; trade-ins benefited 6.392 million consumer participations and generated 33.48 billion yuan in sales. The report describes more than 20,000 Culture and Tourism Consumption Month activities and over 310 million yuan in subsidies, longer visitor stays, Zhengding performances and night markets, and a Suzhou visitor's experience. It discusses locally expanded trade-in eligibility, with a consumer describing savings on an exoskeleton, and county/township commerce centers improving rural appliance delivery and collection. Zou Yunhan interprets consumption policy as responding to people's expectations. CCTV says the first national consumption-sector Fifteenth Five-Year Plan was issued in the year's second half, with six areas and 28 measures led by service quality and public benefit. Its income, security and supply priorities remain policy aims. The historical Xi statements are relayed without original dates; one rural resident's wording is partly inaudible.

Commerce Ministry figures reported by CCTV track China's October 2026 National Day holiday consumption. The October 1–3 measurements show traffic at 78 monitored pedestrian streets and business districts up 3.4% year on year and turnover up 5.3%, with trade-ins generating 19.63 billion yuan and 3.483 million consumer participations; the earlier report includes vehicle, appliance and digital-product breakdowns. CCTV's October 8 follow-up gives October 1–6 traffic growth of 2.5% and turnover growth of 4.7%, with 6.392 million trade-in participations and 33.48 billion yuan in sales. It describes holiday retail/leisure experiences and targeted subsidies, retaining consumer and analyst interpretations as attributed. The first-three-day and first-six-day series are compatible updates with different measurement windows, not contradictory figures or a final whole-holiday national spending total.
