China is prioritizing services as a new growth engine. The Government Work Report calls for elevating quality across key service industries. Our Aaron Liu explains how production and consumer services are powering high-quality growth.

What key role does this sector play in China's economy? I talked to Zhao Zhongxiu, President of the University of International Business and Economics.

ZHAO ZHONGXIU, President, University of International Business and Economics "The goal is a dual-track upgrade. Producer services become more specialized and high-end, while consumer services turn more convenient and quality-driven. This is how services become a true growth engine."

For producer services, a new phase of upgrading is underway — and Chongqing Zongshen Aviation Engine Manufacturing is leading the way.

ZHOU DAN, General Manager, Chongqing Zongshen Aviation Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. "We've moved beyond parts manufacturing to full lifecycle aviation solutions — design, production, maintenance, training — all in one place. It's specialized service that drives competitiveness."

Digital transformation is the accelerator behind this upgrade. AI, cloud computing, and big data are reshaping every service sector — from manufacturing-linked services to daily life support.

AARON LIUCGTN "Beyond producer services, consumer services directly meet people's needs for a better life."

At the Boao Lecheng Medical Tourism Zone, patients access cutting-edge treatments not yet available elsewhere — world-class care.

YU RUNHONG, Director of International Medical Services, Hainan Boao Lecheng Administration "We bring global medical innovation to Chinese patients. Faster approvals, international standards, personalized care. Quality and convenience together."

The results are showing in the numbers. In 2025, services attracted nearly 70% of China's utilized foreign investment. Service trade exceeded $1 trillion for the first time, hitting a record high.

ZHAO ZHONGXIU, President, University of International Business and Economics "Services are now China's calling card for foreign investment. High-end logistics, R&D services, digital trade — multinationals see opportunity and they're investing for the long term."

Smart supply chains cut delivery times. Telemedicine reaches remote villages. Fintech puts banking in every pocket.

AARON LIU, CGTN "This signals a major shift. A modern service sector doesn't just support the economy — it leads it."

By expanding capacity and elevating quality, China is proving that services can drive high-quality growth.
