China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at a Sept. 8, 2026 national consumer-goods industry meeting in Shijiazhuang it will launch an "AI+Three Products" special action to accelerate construction of a modern consumer-goods industry system. Policies include building textile industrial clusters and local specialty food production zones, promoting cross-brand and cross-category smart-home interoperability, and cultivating/scaling an emerging biopharma pillar industry and a future bio-manufacturing sector. The ministry also ordered measures to upgrade the consumer market by implementing a plan to better match supply and demand, fast-tracking high-quality development of traditional industries, and running brand-promotion campaigns including a "Four 100" program to foster world-class consumer brands. Finally, MIIT said it will strengthen national medicine-reserve management and continuity monitoring/dispatch of key medical supplies to ensure supplies of shortage drugs, table salt and new-standard e-bikes.
