28 August 2026; 9:00 - 9:45 CEST (15 - 15:45 CST) 
Online (Zoom)
Organizer: China Macro Group (CMG)

Key questions to discuss:
.  What is the "NQPF" framework and how was it defined?
.  How do policy instruments differ for "traditional", "emerging" and "future" industries?
.  What does the new industrial policy principle of "adapting to local conditions" mean in practice?
.  How are China's elevated security interests (re-)shaping its industrial policymaking
.  How non-discriminatory is Chinese industrial policymaking towards foreign business in China?
.  How does industrial policymaking interrelate with key S&T-innovation policy mechanisms (e.g. "New system for mobilizing resource nationwide" or the "Industry-university-research integration")? 
.  How does today's industrial policy implementation interrelate with the "anti-involution" campaign?
