China's New Economy: Beyond Manufacturing (Excerpts)

Services account for less than 40% of China's GDP, far below the world average of 50%. China seeks to develop the service sector to create more employment, alleviate heavy dependence on energy and resource consumption, and move up the value chain.
1) Which sectors lead the way in moving beyond manufacturing?
2) How is the government, through policy, promoting the shift?
3) How will this transition change domestic consumption patterns and shape the Chinese growth model?
