Fujian Opens Public Review of 2025 Government Livelihood Projects, Seeks Input for 2026 and 2027

Fujian province invites public feedback on 2025 livelihood projects and outlines 2026 initiatives, offering foreign founders a window into local policy priorities and civic engagement mechanisms.

Fujian Invites Public Scrutiny of Government Livelihood Projects

The Fujian Provincial Government is inviting residents and stakeholders to evaluate the completion of its 2025 livelihood projects—initiatives designed to improve daily life and public services. Foreign founders operating in China should note that such public review mechanisms can signal upcoming policy shifts and funding priorities that may affect local business conditions.

Feedback can be submitted via the “闽政通” (Minzhengtong) app or by scanning a “Livelihood Project Code” on posters displayed at project sites and service locations. The campaign aims to gather public opinion, assess project effectiveness, and refine future initiatives. This transparent evaluation process is part of broader efforts to make government services more accessible and responsive.

How the Review Works

The Provincial Government Office has designed electronic posters for 30 livelihood projects, which local units are posting at project sites. Citizens can scan the code to comment on specific projects. Alternatively, they can visit the Fujian Provincial People’s Government portal or the “China Fujian” WeChat account to access the review page. A dedicated column on the provincial government website also collects suggestions for future projects.

After sorting and studying public input, the province has finalized 30 livelihood projects for 2026. These projects span education, culture, sports, disability support, and disaster preparedness, among other areas.

Key 2026 Livelihood Projects

While the full list is not detailed in the source, several projects are highlighted:

• Education: Implementation of a project to optimize the structure and enhance the capacity of compulsory education, promote universal and inclusive preschool education, advance the construction of specialized schools, and carry out “Red Eight Fujian” red study tours for primary and secondary school students across the province.
• Culture: Construction of the Fujian Art Museum, 30 “Military-Civilian Sentiment” cultural parks, and staggered opening hours for 100 public libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, and museums. Additionally, 660 free performances under the “Weekend Theater Encounter” program to bring quality cultural resources to the grassroots, and 10,000 public lectures on family education under the “Five Entries” initiative (rural areas, communities, government organs, enterprises, and schools).
• Sports: Renovation or construction of 21 youth sports and fitness centers, 20 five-a-side football pitches, 14 multi-functional football fields, and 200 public sports fitness facilities. Province-wide fitness events, construction of 9 mountain fitness trails, regular opening of school sports grounds to the public, and a quality improvement project for youth campus football.
• Disability Support: Implementation of two subsidy programs for persons with disabilities, provision of intelligent bionic prostheses, home accessibility renovations for disabled individuals, creation of accessible facility improvement areas (including urban main and secondary roads), and care and treatment for patients with severe mental disorders (schizophrenia).

Construction of 30 fire safety education bases and upgrading of smart safety systems for bottled liquefied petroleum gas in catering venues.

Principles for Project Selection

The selection of livelihood projects follows principles that emphasize studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the plenary sessions of the 20th Central Committee, and implementing the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on Fujian’s work. The focus is on addressing urgent public concerns, strengthening inclusive, basic, and bottom-line livelihood construction, and accelerating the filling of gaps in employment, education, healthcare, elderly care, and childcare to continuously improve public well-being and create a high-quality life.

Opportunities for Public Input

For those wishing to suggest projects for 2027, submissions can be mailed to: The General Office of the Fujian Provincial People’s Government, Postal Code 350003. Envelopes should be marked “2027 Livelihood Project Suggestions” in the lower left corner. This open call for ideas reflects an ongoing effort to incorporate public feedback into governance.

Implications for Foreign Founders

Foreign entrepreneurs in China can benefit from understanding these livelihood projects. They indicate government spending priorities and may create opportunities in sectors such as education, culture, sports, healthcare, and social services. Moreover, the public review process demonstrates a commitment to transparency and responsiveness, which can enhance predictability for businesses. By monitoring such initiatives, foreign founders can align their strategies with local development goals.
