The first - industry maintains a low proportion [1][21]. - Fujian's local government debt burden has increased, but the absolute level remains low in the national context.

Given the current market situation, the credit - quality downgrading strategy may not be very cost - effective, while the duration strategy may be more effective [4][80][86]. 3.
