China's Golden Week draws big crowds amid weak spending
Original: China’s ‘golden week’ draws large crowds despite weak consumer spending
Large crowds are travelling across China during the Golden Week holiday, but tourism numbers have not translated into strong consumer spending. Shoppers are reportedly prioritising cheaper options and limiting purchases, reflecting ongoing caution about the economy. The contrast between busy attractions and subdued retail sales is fuelling debate about the strength of China's recovery and household confidence.
Why now: The holiday is being read as a test of Chinese consumer confidence in a sluggish economy.
