TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice supporting high-quality, efficient development of the services sector, calling for expanded supply of surveying and mapping geospatial data, products, technology and applications to drive digital and intelligent transformation of services. The notice also widens “standard land” supply from industrial land to producer services land and supports combined supply of land, forest and grassland, sea areas, islands and coastlines.
China’s Natural Resources Ministry, Forestry and Grassland Administration Back Geospatial Data Supply for Services
The notable shift here is administrative rather than technological: geospatial data is being repositioned as a service-sector input, and "standard land" reform is extending beyond industrial use into producer services, with bundled rights across land, forest, grassland, sea and coastlines. That combination lowers the procedural cost of assembling location-based data and land for service businesses, which matters for mapping, logistics, insurance and any RWA or spatial-data venture needing clear, aggregated rights. Whether local authorities translate the notice into actual data access and land packages is the open question.
