Using five waves of household panel data from 2014 to 2022, this study demonstrates that internet adoption in rural China significantly upgrades consumption structures by increasing development and enjoyment spending, with effects that are most pronounced among women, less-educated users, and residents of western regions, driven primarily by reduced search costs, income growth, and online shopping participation.
