[Eight departments including the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued a pilot plan to create a "strong engine of quality" for industrial upgrading] On October 16, eight departments including the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the National Energy Administration, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially issued the "Pilot Work Plan for Inspection and Testing to Promote Industrial Optimization and Upgrading", marking a new stage for China's inspection and testing service industry to move from "single point breakthrough" to "system empowerment". The "Plan" closely follows the dual strategies of "strengthening the country with quality" and "expanding capacity and improving quality of the service industry", with the concept of "innovation-driven, transformation, collaborative linkage, and integrated development", focusing on industrial blockades and difficulties, and deploying three core efforts: First, tackle key technologies and activate the "new engine" of industrial upgrading. Focus on bottlenecks such as "cannot detect, cannot detect accurately, cannot detect quickly", strengthen core technology research and forward-looking reserves; deepen digital intelligence integration and green and low-carbon transformation, and improve full-chain service capabilities such as carbon footprint and water ecology; Accelerate the mutual recognition of international qualifications to help advantageous industries such as photovoltaics and lithium batteries overcome trade barriers; accurately empower, specialize, specialize and other high-quality enterprises to gradually cultivate, create regional characteristic industrial clusters, and promote the county economy to leap from "having" to "excellent". The second is to achieve full-chain collaboration and forge the "resilience" of key industries. In view of the revitalization of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries, inspection and testing institutions are encouraged to be deeply embedded in the supply chain of chain owners, and improve the consistency and reliability of products throughout the chain through joint verification of upstream and downstream, mutual recognition of data, and research on common issues. Promote the extension of inspection and testing to the entire R&D and manufacturing chain, effectively improve the overall collaborative efficiency and risk resistance of the industrial chain, and realize the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries. The third is to strengthen departmental coordination and build a "big pattern" of joint efforts and joint management. This pilot is jointly organized by eight departments to open up the application channels for industries, central enterprises and local governments, and implement voluntary declaration and independent implementation. Various departments will coordinate the layout of the national quality inspection center, the construction of quality infrastructure systems, and policy resources in areas such as ecology and energy, and work together to resolutely put an end to formalism and ensure that the pilot results truly serve the optimization of industrial layout. This coordinated linkage between the eight departments is a profound change in inspection and testing from "behind-the-scenes control" to "front-stage empowerment". The pilot application will be launched in November 2026, using the high-end inspection and digital transformation as a lever to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity. The "Plan" and the ongoing "two-wheel drive" of the National Quality Inspection Center's three-year action for quality improvement and optimization form a policy synergy that will accelerate the construction of a modern quality support system with clear positioning, advanced technology, and efficient services.

[Guangdong officially launches the Green Belt Construction Plan and will build more than 1,000 kilometers of the Green Belt by 2030] October 9th, recently, the "Guangdong Province Green Belt Construction Plan (2026-2035)" was issued and implemented. The "Plan" clarifies that by the end of 2030, the province will have built more than 1,000 kilometers of green belts, connecting more than 2,000 green belts, more than 10,000 unique resource nodes, and adding 500,000 acres of green area. Looking forward to 2035, more than 3,000 kilometers of green belts will be built in the province. The pattern of blue and green intertwined green belts of "green belts connect the mountains and seas, and green charm comes to Guangdong" has basically been formed. The green belts have become the iconic ecological business card of green and beautiful Guangdong and benefit the people's livelihood and well-being. The "Plan" proposes the implementation of four major actions and ten specific tasks: comprehensive river regulation, waterfront greening and beautification, improvement of water culture and leisure quality, and development of green water economy. It uses "typical scenes - core pieces - backbone corridors - watershed network" as the spatial skeleton to build "seven sceneries and three areas" The overall pattern of Guangdong’s “7356” Green Belt with “Five Corridors and Six Domains to Run Southern Guangdong” is to create seven major green belt scenes: city green corridor type, rural pastoral type, lake (reservoir) leisure type, canyon and bayou type, island green belt type, estuary and harbor type, and water conservancy project type; Build three core green belts of the "Golden Inner Bay"·Tongshan Dahai Blue Belt Area, "Ring Around Ten Thousand Green Lakes"·Green Belt Area of Beautiful Green Water Valleys, and "Ring Two Mountains"·Yunshan Green Valley Green Belt Area; based on the five backbone corridors of East, West, North, Han, and Jianjiang, build the Dongjiang River Basin·Visiting Charm and Sitting Source Green Belt There are six major river basin blue belt networks: the Xijiang River Basin·Baili Scenery Blue Belt Network, the Beijiang River Basin·Nanling Mountains and Waters Blue Belt Network, the Pearl River Delta River Basin·Waterside Vitality Blue Belt Network, the Hanjiang River and Eastern Guangdong River Basins·Chaoke Customs Blue Belt Network, and the Jianjiang and Western Guangdong River Basins·Charming Blue Bay Blue Belt Network.

[Ministry of Natural Resources: Revision of Temporary Land Management Documents is Open for Public Opinion] September 12th, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Natural Resources recently drafted the "Notice of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Regulating the Management of Temporary Land (Draft for Comments)". In accordance with the relevant provisions of the normative document formulation procedures, public opinions are now publicly solicited. Compared with Document No. 2, the "Draft for Comments" has been improved mainly in four aspects. First, a new list of temporary land types has been added. The "applicable" and "prohibited" are clear at a glance, making it easier for grassroots and enterprises to grasp the key points and facilitate grassroots approval. The second is to fully release the effect of the policy on the continued use of temporary land. For temporary land projects that are not satisfied with the maximum use period, they can apply for continued use, and the cumulative use period will not exceed the maximum legal use period; For long-term construction projects such as energy, transportation, water conservancy, etc., targeted land use regulations are made. The same temporary land can be used continuously between different projects. If it is included in the list of major national and provincial projects, different construction sections of the same project can also apply for continued use, and the cumulative construction period will not exceed the approved project period. This will save the time for enterprises to re-select sites and the cost of land reclamation to the greatest extent, and improve economic benefits and land use efficiency. The third is to implement a joint approval system. All matters involving a mixture of cultivated land, forest land, and grassland will be uniformly accepted by the natural resources department, allowing enterprises to only go to one department, improving the efficiency of temporary land use approval for construction projects and the temperature of approval services, and ensuring the timely implementation of construction projects. The fourth is to actively respond to the demands of enterprises, adjust the land reclamation deposit to land reclamation expenses, ensure that the special funds are used exclusively, and withdraw the expenses according to the reclamation progress, and support the use of bank guarantees to replace the pre-deposited land reclamation expenses, which greatly reduces the financial pressure on enterprises.
