According to the Zhito Finance APP, CMB International has released a research report stating that the National Development and Reform Commission announced on January 3 that it would expand the national subsidy plan to more product categories, including Smart Phones, tablet computers, and smart watches. This plan was announced earlier than the market expected. Although some provinces have already started to expand the subsidy plan to Smart Phones/tablet computers since August 2024, it is believed that the announcement of national subsidies will encourage other provinces to expedite the implementation of policies, which will boost the overall demand for Smart Phone replacements in the short term.
