BEIJING - China is extending a public holiday to get people to travel and spend more as the government pins its hopes on a vast consumer base to help cushion an economic slowdown. People can have two more days off for the Labour Day holidays that start on May 1, which falls on a Wednesday this year, creating a 4-day break through May 4 to encourage more travel, the state council said on Friday.Retail sales growth slid to the lowest in over a decade last year as consumers bought fewer cars, electronics and home appliances.It was reduced to a one-day holiday in 2008, but the government extends the break to three or four days when it falls close to a weekend.
