CHINA STATE PLANNER said during the 15th Five-Year Plan it will step up support
for the marine industry, coordinating government investment funds to back major
foundational, long‑term projects and to secure project use of marine areas, land
and islands. It will push market-based allocation of marine resource assets,
promote layered/three‑dimensional use of sea areas, implement differentiated
island protection and development, accelerate development of blue finance,
dynamically update the marine industry investment-and-financing catalog, and
encourage private/social capital participation to diversify funding sources.
