On June 17 at the 2026 Lujiazui Forum, China Construction Bank president Zhang
Yi said China's equity investment market shows three features: last year over
50% of invested companies were hard‑tech; state‑backed capital is rapidly
expanding in scale, participant types and capital forms and is strengthening its
market position—supporting national industrial policy and supplying long‑term,
patient capital; and bank‑affiliated equity investors, aided by policy support,
saw a noticeable increase in investment last year. He noted banks' overall
equity investment amounts remain small but have become a non‑negligible source
of capital.
