Fujian province has announced 30 public service projects for 2026, covering education, culture, sports, disability support, and emergency response.

Fujian’s 2026 Public Service Projects: What Foreign Founders Should Know
Foreign founders registering or operating a company in China often focus on tax, licensing, and market entry. But local government public service projects can also shape the business environment—from the availability of cultural amenities to the quality of emergency response. Fujian province recently outlined 30 public service projects for 2026, following a public consultation on the 2025 projects. Below is a summary of the key initiatives and how you can participate in future consultations.
Education and Youth Development
The province plans to implement a project to optimize the structure and enhance the capacity of compulsory education. This includes promoting universal and inclusive preschool education, advancing the construction of specialized schools, and conducting the “Red Eight Fujian Tour”—a red tourism-based practical education program for primary and secondary school students across the province.
For foreign founders with children, these measures may improve access to quality education and extracurricular activities. The focus on specialized schools could also benefit families with diverse learning needs.
Culture and Public Amenities
Fujian will build the Fujian Art Museum and 30 “Military-Civilian Sentiment” cultural parks. Additionally, 100 public libraries, cultural centers, art museums, and museums will be open during staggered and extended hours. The province will also host 660 public welfare performances under the “Weekend Opera Encounter” program, bringing high-quality cultural and artistic resources to the grassroots level. Furthermore, 10,000 public welfare lectures on family education will be held under the “Five Entries” initiative—reaching rural areas, communities, government agencies, enterprises, and schools.
These cultural investments can enrich community life and offer networking opportunities for foreign founders and their employees.
Sports and Fitness Facilities
The province will build or renovate 21 youth sports and fitness centers, 20 five-a-side football pitches, 14 multi-functional football fields, and 200 public sports and fitness facilities. It will also organize mass fitness events across the province, construct and upgrade 9 mountain hiking trails, regularly open school sports venues to the public, and implement a quality improvement project for youth campus football.
Improved sports infrastructure can support employee wellness programs and community engagement.
Disability Support
Fujian will implement two subsidy programs for persons with disabilities, provide intelligent bionic prostheses, carry out barrier-free home modifications for disabled individuals, and create barrier-free facility improvement zones (including the renovation of urban main and secondary roads). The province will also provide care and treatment for patients with severe mental disorders (schizophrenia).
These measures reflect a commitment to social inclusion, which may be relevant for companies with diversity and inclusion goals.
Emergency Response and Safety
The province will implement a project to enhance social emergency and disaster prevention and avoidance capabilities. This includes the “Eight Fujian Safety Patrol” drone air-ground integrated monitoring, early warning, and emergency response service project, the construction of 30 fire safety science education bases, and the upgrading of smart safety systems for bottled liquefied petroleum gas restaurants.
For businesses, improved emergency response infrastructure can enhance operational resilience and workplace safety.
Public Consultation and Feedback
The government conducted a public evaluation of the 2025 projects and is seeking suggestions for 2027. Residents and stakeholders can participate by scanning the “People’s Livelihood Code” via the “Minzhengtong” app or WeChat, or by visiting the Fujian Provincial People’s Government portal website and the “China Fujian” WeChat public account. Suggestions for 2027 projects can also be mailed to the General Office of the Fujian Provincial People’s Government (postal code: 350003), with “2027 People’s Livelihood Project Suggestions” noted on the envelope.
Foreign founders are encouraged to engage with these channels to share feedback on local services that affect their business operations.
