NDRC holds third meeting on ‘six networks’ project support

The repeated high-level meetings signal that China is prioritizing infrastructure rollout as a policy lever, with the emphasis on land and environmental approvals pointing to a push to remove bureaucratic bottlenecks. This matters for supply chains tied to construction and materials, as faster project starts could translate into more concrete demand later in the year. The open question is whether this administrative push actually converts into measurable output, especially given the historical lag between planning and physical execution.
