The National Development and Reform Commission and other ministries issued guidance to strengthen consumer infrastructure and promote investment-consumption interaction. The document calls for full digital coverage of consumption venues—commodity trading markets, commercial streets and scenic areas—with 5G, gigabit fiber, IoT and cloud computing to enable high-speed connectivity, intelligent sensing and cross-domain data interoperability. It backs development of smart business districts, smart markets and smart stores and pushes consumption-terminal upgrades such as smart POS, self-service kiosks and electronic shelf labels. The guidance encourages regional consumer service platforms, agricultural production‑to‑sales matchmaking platforms and O2O integrated platforms combining sales, service booking, logistics, promotions and consumer protection. It also mandates green upgrades of consumption facilities, promoting green markets, energy‑saving retrofits, efficient air conditioning and lighting, water‑saving fixtures, smart electricity control systems and renewable energy installations.
