According to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), on September 29, the NDRC's Bureau of Private Economy, together with its Department of Investment, Department of Industry and Department of High-Tech Industry, held a symposium with private enterprises and industry associations to hear about the problems and barriers they encounter in investment and collect their opinions and suggestions. The NDRC will continue to promote a batch of manufacturing investment projects to private enterprises and actively attract their participation.

 A total of 52 projects were promoted, spanning manufacturing sectors such as chemical raw materials and chemical products, non-metallic mineral products, metal products, general equipment and special-purpose equipment. The total investment is estimated at RMB 52.4 billion, with RMB 15.5 billion of private capital expected to be introduced. Private enterprises are supported to participate through sole proprietorship, controlling stakes or equity stakes in project companies.

 Among all manufacturing categories, chemical raw materials and chemical products top the list with 17 projects, accounting for nearly one third of the total. According to the project list, these chemical projects are concentrated in electronic chemicals, new energy and lithium battery materials, fine chemicals, specialty new materials, green recycling and bio-based chemicals.
