CHINA STATE PLANNER convened an inter‑ministerial meeting directing faster, stronger implementation of measures to expand and upgrade the service sector. Authorities will set industry- and region-specific development tracks, identify growth drivers for the "15th Five-Year" period, and design incremental policies with quantitative targets to enable classified, targeted support. Policy emphasis is on demand-led reforms, tech enablement and openness, improving supply–demand matching, and stepping up the removal of unreasonable standards and restrictive measures to enlarge service export capacity. Agencies were also tasked to mobilize existing stock while optimizing incremental supply, accelerate major projects, scale up high-quality operators and cultivate more "Chinese service" brands.
