China News Service, July 22. According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce, according to the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Improving the Consumption Promotion System and Mechanisms to Further Stimulate Residents’ Consumption Potential, the Ministry of Commerce organized and carried out a pilot project for upgrading and upgrading pedestrian streets at the end of 2018. After local application and third-party evaluation, the Ministry of Commerce has decided to confirm the five pedestrian streets including Nanjing Confucius Temple, which have completed the transformation and upgrading tasks, as the "National Demonstration Pedestrian Street" (hereinafter referred to as the Demonstration Pedestrian Street), which is hereby announced.

  Promoting the transformation and upgrading of pedestrian streets is an important deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council focusing on promoting high-quality economic development, advancing a new round of high-level opening to the outside world, and promoting the formation of a strong domestic market. It is a business system that implements the people-centered development concept and promotes supply. An important measure to support structural reforms and meet the needs of the people for a better life.

  Local commercial authorities should give full play to the leading role of the demonstration pedestrian street, and under the conditions of normalized epidemic prevention and control, scientifically and orderly carry out various consumption promotion activities to release consumption potential and expand domestic demand. It is necessary to further improve the "five-level linkage" working mechanism, deepen the reform of "decentralization, management and service", innovate the block operation and management model, and continue to optimize the consumption environment with the goal of "no fakes in pedestrian streets". Units recognized as demonstration pedestrian streets must cherish honor, further find gaps, make up for shortcomings, improve quality, and strive for a new level of work.
