Since the beginning of this year, Baotou has been implementing the "trade-in" policy for consumer goods by offering benefits, enriching supply, and innovating scenarios, stimulating the city's market vitality.

Zhang Shuxin, sales director of Tongli Home Appliances, said, "In the first half of this year, our sales revenue increased by about 20 percent year-on-year with the support of the 'trade-in' subsidy policy for home appliances."

With the promotion and implementation of various policies, the bureau will bring sustained and strong momentum to the city's consumer market.
