It achieved first - time financing due to complementary business sectors, policy support, and improved financial stability [25][26]. 3.3 Platform Company Bond First - time Issuance Insights - Market - oriented operation should be the core of transformation. Platform companies need to transform into industrial operation entities, and the bond market's evaluation logic has shifted from "government credit endorsement" to "self - sustainable operation" [27]. - Policy alignment is the key to financing. Companies should align their resource endowments with national needs and serve major national strategies [28]. - External support and self - development are both necessary. External support provides a foundation for first - time financing, but self - development is crucial for long - term competitiveness [28].
