China's "home of longevity" will focus on tapping its health-related resources in the next three years to spur economic growth and contribute to improving the health of Chinese in other areas, officials in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region said on Monday.

"With rapid economic and social development, health is gaining more attention," said Huang Weijing, vice-chairman of Guangxi.

"Development of the health industry is an urgent requirement to help meet increased demand and improve people's livelihoods."
