Official data reported retail sales rose 12.4% in May from a year ago, less than the 13.6% increase forecast by analysts.\nBarclays economists said in a Wednesday note they do not see growth in China’s consumption and services returning to pre-Covid levels this year.\n“A fundamental issue, I think, that has been holding back the Chinese consumer spending is really the … slower household income growth, and particularly for lower income group,” Chang told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Friday.\nIn 2020, China’scash-strapped poor took on more debtafter the pandemic hit job prospects.\nChang pointed to comments from Premier Li Keqiang last year in which he said roughly600 million people earn just 1,000 renminbi per month(about $155).\nShe noted that migrant worker salaries have also struggled to recover, posting growth of just 2.5% as compared with 6.5% pre-pandemic.\nThese are headwinds for Beijing as the Chinese government hopes to promote its“dual circulation” policy, which places greater emphasis on consumption as a key economic driver.\n“To improve household consumption share in the GDP you really need to improve household income share in the GDP,” Chang said.\n“That means you really need to improve income distribution … which we know that is quite difficult, especially after the global financial crisis and after the pandemic. We really see globally, you know, there is the widening of income gap and the widening of wealth gap,” she said.\nChang said there’s also a gap in where spending occurs. While larger stores and shopping malls have been “quite strong,” Chang said smaller stores are not seeing the same performance.\n“If you look at the smaller store sales, which accounts for two-thirds of overall retail sales, that has really been underperforming and is not even half of its growth rate pre-pandemic,” Chang said.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":167584026,"gmtCreate":1624277671265,"gmtModify":1703832203727,"author":{"id":"3574137361000320","authorId":"3574137361000320","name":"Jac_jk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ffa694dd3ac0cd86c872ef9e38bd3c9","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574137361000320","authorIdStr":"3574137361000320"},"htmlText":"I
