Recently, relevant national departments and local governments are actively deploying to jointly promote the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities. On the basis of the overall plan released by the Ministry of Commerce and other departments in the early stage, each cultivating city has released specific plans and measures to jointly build the “four beams and eight pillars” for cultivating and building an international consumption center city.
The analysis shows that the international consumption center city, as a gathering place of consumption resources, has a strong leading and driving role in consumption, and has also become an important support for promoting consumption. From the current policy promotion and local progress, the construction conditions of China’s international consumption center cities are further mature. Driven by all parties, they are stepping into the fast lane, which will play a greater role in promoting the linkage development of regional consumption and help smooth China’s international double cycle.
Clear path, cultivate construction and drive into the fast lane
With the approval of the State Council, it took the lead in the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing. The Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, issued the overall plan for cultivating international consumption center cities, defined the overall goal of “cultivating and building several international consumption center cities with global influence, competitiveness and reputation in 5 to 10 years”, and put forward key tasks and safeguard measures.
It is expected to introduce more than 1000 first stores throughout the year, build a global new product launch place, issue policies to support the economic development of the launch place, build a global new product launch demonstration area, and hold activities such as the “global new product launch season of the May fifth Shopping Festival” to form the resonance effect of the launch of brands outside China… Shanghai launched a series of measures and the construction of an international consumption center city is booming.

The reporter of the economic information daily noted that recently, the construction of international consumption center cities has been constantly, and each cultivating city has issued specific plans to clarify the specific path of cultivating and building international consumption center cities.
Recently, Chongqing and Guangzhou have successively issued implementation plans for cultivating and building international consumption center cities. Previously, Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin have issued implementation plans to put forward specific plans and construction objectives during the 14th Five Year Plan period in combination with their own resource advantages.
In addition, each cultivating city also incorporated the cultivation and construction of an international consumption center city into the local “14th five year plan”, established a leading group and a special working class, and formed a working mechanism of division of labor, organization, coordination and implementation, systematic and efficient, summary and evaluation.
Local governments actively deployed and refined the “construction drawings” for the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities. Zhang Fei, deputy director of the Institute of foreign investment of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chongqing and other cities have successively put forward implementation plans and special action plans, with accurate positioning, prominent focus, distinctive characteristics and powerful measures, which will effectively promote the construction of international consumer center cities in the new era.
Setting up a benchmark and promoting the linkage development of regional consumption
It is worth noting that while exploring their own cultivation and construction, the five cities also undertake the task of setting a benchmark, forming a demonstration and driving the development of regional consumption. “Through the leading role of these cities, we will drive and cultivate places other than cities to form a number of regional local consumption central cities with their own characteristics and radiating surrounding countries and regions, integrate consumption resources across cities and regions, and promote the formation of a new pattern of consumption linkage development.” The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said.
Beijing regards the construction of an international consumption center city as an important aspect of the joint development of the capital and its surrounding areas. The implementation plan for Beijing to cultivate and build an international consumption center city (2021-2025) proposes to build two to three world-class business districts with a scale of 100 billion and a number of landmark business districts with global influence by 2025. Establish a regional linkage mechanism of “supporting the center with the periphery and driving the periphery with the center”, integrate high-quality tourism resources in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, jointly develop short-distance cultural tourism products, and create a 2-hour tourism consumption circle around Beijing.
One belt, one road city and the other, the “international and regional” city, will be built in Chongqing. The goal is to strengthen the joint development of Shuangcheng, and to put forward a new mode of co construction and sharing. It will promote the construction of Shuangcheng economic circle in Chengdu Chongqing region, strengthen the coordination between Chengdu and Chongqing, and enhance the dynamic development of Chengdu Chongqing and Chongqing. Build an international consumption destination with Bashu characteristics.

Promote in depth and help China’s international double cycle
The analysis points out that with the acceleration of cultivation and construction, the role of international consumption center cities in unblocking China’s international double cycle will become more and more obvious.
Zhang Fei said that consumption has become the “main engine” and “ballast” of China’s economic growth for many years. People’s growing demand for a better life puts forward higher requirements for promoting consumption. Cultivating and building international consumption center cities is an important measure for China to implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, promote high-quality economic development and build a new development pattern. Recently, relevant national departments and local governments are actively deploying and jointly promoting, and the conditions for the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities are further mature.
Wang Wei, director of the market economy Research Institute of the development research center of the State Council, believes that cultivating and building an international consumption center city is conducive to further expanding the effective supply of rich goods and services, accelerating the attraction of overseas consumption return, continuously expanding inbound consumption, constantly forming new consumption growth points, improving economic vitality, helping to form a strong Chinese market and promoting China’s international double cycle.
Wang Wei said that to build an international consumption center city, we should follow the business logic, promote model innovation, provide support for enterprise development and jointly share development opportunities.
