Innovative retail fuels winter spending with great-value vouchers in Ningxia

The city of Yinchuan in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region has launched a major winter consumption campaign since Saturday to stimulate retail, dining, entertainment, and sports through creative retail models with great-value vouchers.

Inside a city shopping mall, a new model featuring shopping, dining, and immersive performances has been introduced, attracting large crowds. The mall also launches a plan that allows consumers to stack merchant-specific subsidies on top of government-issued city consumption vouchers.

Beyond traditional retail, Yinchuan is leveraging sports to create a consumption scene by partnering with renowned sports brands, popular restaurants, and professional family institutions. More consumers can win more vouchers by participating in activities, including watching fun sports matches and completing physical challenges.

"I brought my child out to this shopping mall today. And we just happened to come across this event. My child was very happy to take part. The discount with the consumption vouchers is quite large, making it very affordable [when buying things]," said He Hua, a Yinchuan resident.

According to local authorities, the winter consumption season in Yinchuan will feature 113 promotional events, totaling 140 million yuan (about 19.2 million U.S. dollars) in consumption vouchers.

By adopting a highly multi-element model, Yinchuan aims to turn winter consumption into a powerful engine for urban economic development, driving growth across the retail, dining, and entertainment sectors.

The Chinese Navy's hospital ship "Silk Road Art" will provide emergency aid to Jamaica after a powerful hurricane lashed the country in the end of October, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun confirmed on Monday.

"Recently, the Chinese Navy's hospital ship the 'Silk Road Ark' arrived in Jamaica and will dock at multiple ports to provide humanitarian medical services to the Jamaican people affected by Hurricane Melissa. China empathizes deeply with Jamaica over the severe hurricane disaster it has suffered, and has provided emergency disaster relief assistance based on Jamaica's needs," Guo said at a press conference in Beijing in response to a media query.

"We believe that the 'Silk Road Ark' will convey China's friendship to the affected communities in Jamaica, helping to bolster their confidence as they overcome the disaster and rebuild their homes," said the spokesman.

The "Silk Road Ark" arrived at Montego Bay of Jamaica on Thursday for a 12-day visit. At the request of the Jamaican side, the Chinese hospital ship will dock at three ports in Jamaica - Montego Bay, Kingston, and Falmouth - to provide medical services to local residents.

On October 28, Jamaica was struck by a severe storm, which put the local healthcare system under immense pressure. Many patients urgently needing surgery have been waiting for treatment as the island sufferes medical facility damages and resource shortages.
