China's Commerce Minister Bo Xilai says about 20 million people become mid-level consumers in the country every year.
He said this at the just concluded China Development Forum in Beijing and predicted the country's consumption market will continue to grow in the next few years.
Bo Xilai said the domestic market, especially the consumption market, has a great potential. Last year alone, consumption of commodities and production material reached 16 trillion yuan or nearly 2 trillion US dollars.
