On July 8 the Shenzhen municipal party committee reviewed 1H citywide industrial
investment and ordered accelerated advancement of key projects. The committee
urged prioritizing the real economy and manufacturing to stabilize
industrial-investment growth and lay a foundation for the 15th Five-Year Plan
and longer-term development. It called on authorities to seize the window from
rapid AI and other frontier-technology iteration and faster market/demand
formation by intensifying industry research, project planning and investment in
core and frontier areas to forge new high-quality growth drivers. The city also
directed exploration of innovative investment models, fuller use of finance
tools, leveraging state capital and SOEs as resource-integration hubs, and
measures to attract social/private capital into major projects to speed
cultivation of new productive capacity.
