China’s NDRC Chief Zheng Shanjie Meets Private Firms on 2024 Economic Work, 2025 Policy

The sector mix here — petrochemicals, electronics, pig farming, superhard materials — signals that Beijing's outreach to private capital is broad rather than confined to strategic tech, and the inclusion of a diamond-materials firm hints at interest in industrial inputs beyond the usual consumer and export names. For private manufacturers in heavy and mid-stream industries, this is a channel to flag operational constraints directly to the planner that sets investment priorities. What's worth watching is whether this consultation format translates into concrete policy measures in the next work plan, or remains a listening exercise.
