TREE NEWS update: Chengdu’s economy and information technology bureau has published a draft ‘Token Voucher’ implementation plan for public comment over 30 days. Under the plan, a single entity’s voucher support would cover up to 30% of actual purchase costs, rising to 50% for small and micro enterprises, capped at 2 million yuan per entity, with total citywide issuance limited to 100 million yuan per year.
Chengdu Opens Public Comment on ‘Token Voucher’ Subsidy Scheme
The design detail matters more than the headline: a 50% subsidy tier for small and micro enterprises, against 30% for everyone else, signals that the scheme is aimed at lowering the entry barrier for smaller buyers rather than subsidising incumbents. A fixed annual citywide issuance cap also turns the programme into a rationed pool, which makes allocation mechanics — not the headline subsidy rate — the practical constraint. Whether the 30-day comment period materially changes those tiers, and whether the cap proves binding in year one, are the open questions.
