The national conference on the service sector, recently held in Beijing, highlighted the growing importance of services in China's high-quality development. As the largest sector of the national economy, the service industry links advanced manufacturing with consumption upgrading and affects both employment and people's well-being. The key message of the conference was clear: the sector must expand capacity and improve quality. Technology, reform and opening-up will all play a bigger role in this process. For young people, this is also a new arena of opportunity. Those who adapt faster to new technologies and respond more sharply to emerging demand will be better positioned to grow with the rise of China Services.
