China's industrial boom driven by 60% state subsidies

China's industrial sector is heavily reliant on state intervention, with the OECD reporting that 60 percent of the country's industrial boom is driven by subsidies and state credit. Despite this growth, one in three Chinese companies is currently reporting losses.

The economic model follows a dirigiste approach directed by the Communist Party, focusing on high-tech sectors to compete with the United States and labor-intensive sectors to compete with developing nations. To meet these targets, local officials often sell land and secure loans from state banks to fund industrial clusters and production incentives, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of state-led investment.
