China Launches $37 Billion Subsidy Program to Boost Tech and Green Product Sales
China has allocated 250 billion yuan (about $37 billion) for a consumer trade-in program aimed at boosting domestic spending and promoting advanced technologies. The scheme offers subsidies on purchases of smartphones, smart glasses, and energy-efficient appliances meeting high standards. By August, it supported sales worth 1.55 trillion yuan, with notable increases in communications equipment and smart glasses sales. The program reflects China's strategy to expand markets for AI and green technologies amid concerns over sluggish consumer spending.
