“两新”激发中国制造新动能

Core Viewpoint - The "Two New" policy aims to inject new momentum into Chinese manufacturing by driving investment and consumption, facilitating a transition from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing stronghold [1][4]. Investment and Consumption - The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have optimized the support scope, subsidy standards, and implementation mechanisms of the "Two New" policy [1]. - A total of 625 billion yuan in special long-term bonds for the first batch of the consumption upgrade plan has been allocated ahead of schedule for 2026 [1]. - From January to November 2025, investment in equipment and tools increased by 12.2% year-on-year, contributing 1.8 percentage points to overall investment growth [1]. Market Opportunities - The "old-for-new" consumption policy has opened new market spaces for durable consumer goods, with sales expected to exceed 2.6 trillion yuan in 2025 [2]. - Specific figures include over 11.5 million vehicles, 129 million home appliances, 9.1 million digital products, and 12 million home renovation items being replaced [2]. Upgrading Manufacturing - The "Two New" policy not only stimulates investment and consumption but also drives quality upgrades in Chinese manufacturing [2]. - Companies are replacing outdated equipment with new technology, improving production efficiency and product competitiveness, which encourages further R&D investment [2]. Transition to High-End Manufacturing - There is a growing preference for smart and green products, with nearly 60% of replaced vehicles being new energy vehicles and over 90% of replaced home appliances being energy-efficient [3]. - The policy optimization is expected to invigorate more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by lowering investment thresholds and streamlining application processes [3].
