必和必拓：由于中东冲突，成本环境“发生了重大变化”。

MOFCOM and eight other ministries issued guidance to boost lower-tier market activity and county-level consumption, calling for activation of idle assets. Projects that reuse existing properties or land to develop county social services such as elderly care and childcare may receive up to five years of transitional support without requiring changes to the land-use holder or planning conditions. Subject to national land‑space planning, authorities encourage stock‑land redevelopment through self-operation, joint ventures or transfers to raise local commercial service capacity. County governments are supported to convert vacated office buildings and other idle state assets into convenience commercial outlets. Rural collective commercial construction land may be lawfully brought to market to develop county commerce, and idle rural housing is encouraged to be repurposed for new, village‑appropriate industries and business formats.
