China optimizes central-local fiscal relationship for fiscal sustainability and macroeconomic adjustments.

China will optimize its fiscal relationship between central and local governments to strengthen fiscal sustainability and support macroeconomic adjustments, as well as establish a relationship with well-defined powers and responsibilities, and appropriate resource allocation. The central government will raise its fiscal powers, optimize the division of revenue, and improve the transfer payment system to ensure fiscal resources for local governments align with their powers. These reforms aim to increase tax sources for local governments, address financial strains in some regions, and enhance fiscal sustainability.
