President Xi Jinping has called for expanding domestic consumption so that all links including production, distribution, logistics and consumption can rely more on the domestic market to sustain a positive growth cycle, according to an article published in the latest issue of Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

A concept first put forward in May, the dual-circulation development pattern is defined as "taking the domestic market as the mainstay while the domestic and international markets complement each other".
