CHINA SYSTEM · OPERATING LOGIC
Read the concept through its operating structure
Scenarios became a national industrial-policy tool in 2025
The 2025 State Council opinion set a technology breakthrough–scenario validation–industrial application–system upgrade path and called for public and enterprise resources to open.
A scenario is a bundle of problem, data and responsibility
A high-value scenario includes a real problem, baseline, data/facilities, safety accountability, time/exit criteria and purchasing budget—not a showroom or free install.
First-of-kind policies split risk by product form
First equipment, materials and software policies address distinct first-market risks; catalogs, subsidies and insurance are different tools.
The real bottleneck lies between first purchase and repeat use
Government and SOE orders can create a first reference but not bypass procurement or safety; markets depend on warranty, operations, insurance, standardisation and repeat deployment.
Korea should read Chinese scenarios as contracts, not showcases
Korean firms should contract data access, equipment, IP/improvements, safety, evaluation, purchase options/minimums, insurance, exit and replication.
