Meanwhile on Friday, a special guest did some seasonal shopping at a market in Guizhou province as vendors prepared for a sales push ahead of Spring Festival.
Premier Li Keqiang offered Spring Festival greetings to people at Liping county market and asked for some shopping advice.
"I'm going to visit some less well-off families in the afternoon and I want to take some new year gifts with me. What are the must-haves during Spring Festival here?" Li asked vendors.
The market is the largest in the county, which lies in the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture, the traditional home of the Miao and Dong ethnic groups. With about 500 stalls, it is a major grocery supplier for about 100,000 residents.
Li bought local snacks, including smoked spicy fish and pork, fried sticky rice balls and other treats, after strolling through the market. As he was about to leave, he sent a set of digital scales to the market manager as a gift, asking him to ensure fair trading.
"There are so many people shopping here, so you have to guarantee food safety and ensure an orderly market," he said.
