🇨🇳 China's industrial strategy has changed—and the stakes are global.
Under Xi, Beijing has shifted from chasing economic growth to pursuing technological self-reliance and national security. A new RAND report maps how this system actually works.
What's the issue: The Party-state now steers firms, finances, and local governments through five policy channels and 18 instruments—from guidance funds and procurement mandates to “golden shares” and champion-designation programs.
What the authors found:
🔸Direct subsidies have plateaued; mandates and market-channeled tools are filling the gap.
🔸State control over private firms has deepened through regulation and Party embedding.
🔸 The Belt and Road Initiative is now explicitly techno-industrial, locking in Chinese equipment and standards in partner markets while extending domestic industrial priorities abroad.
đź’ˇ The bottom line: China's manufacturing surplus (roughly 10% of GDP) is historically unprecedented in scale. If domestic demand can't absorb it, then global friction will grow.
