Hand-reviewed 2026-10-14. Unlike the other reports this file is not regenerated: it records a reading of the leads in compliance.md.
Method
compliance_report lists every local document (157) sitting in a topic tree below a central document that bans local protection. Each one's text was searched for locality language: 本地/本市/我市 + 注册/生产/配套/采购/企业/产品, 外地, 在本市设立, 地方保护. 42 documents contain such a sentence. Every one of those sentences was read, as were the 10 documents the keyword screen marks "explicit". A case is confirmed when the local text imposes a condition the central ban names, or one plainly of its kind. It is a soft preference when the text encourages local sourcing but neither requires it nor excludes anyone.
Coverage is the corpus: central documents plus Fujian, Guangdong, Beijing, Anhui and Shanghai. Absence elsewhere means unread, not compliant.
Confirmed
1. Fuzhou: out-of-town NEV makers must set up a local company to get the subsidy (2017)
福州市新能源非公交汽车推广应用补助暂行办法, forwarded by 榕政办〔2017〕18号, 2017-01-20. Source
第六条 在我市销售并上牌的新能源汽车生产企业未注册登记在我市的，必须在我市注册登记一家具有独立法人资格的汽车销售企业统一申请地方补助资金
Article 6: a maker selling NEVs in Fuzhou but not registered there must register an independent legal-person sales company in Fuzhou to claim the local subsidy.
Ban it sits under. 国办发〔2014〕35号 (2014-07-21), section (二十三):
各地区要执行国家统一的新能源汽车推广目录，不得采取……要求汽车生产企业在本地设厂……等违规措施，阻碍外地生产的新能源汽车进入本地市场
The ban names a local-factory requirement; a mandatory local legal entity is the same device one step down the chain, and the fair-competition review rules (国发〔2016〕34号) forbid "强制外地经营者在本地投资或者设立分支机构" in terms. The strongest case found.
2. Beijing: trade-in subsidy only on invoices from Beijing-registered sellers (2025)
2025年北京市进一步推动汽车以旧换新实施方案, 京商流通字〔2025〕2号, 2025-01-24. Source
《机动车销售统一发票》应由在本市注册的企业开具。
A car bought from a dealer registered outside Beijing does not qualify.
Bans it sits under. Four central trade-in documents, among them 商消费发〔2024〕58号 and 商消费函〔2024〕75号:
各地不得……另行设定具有地域性、技术产品指向性的补贴目录或企业名单。
and 发改环资〔2025〕13号 (2025-01-08, sixteen days earlier):
各地区要落实加快建设全国统一大市场要求，打破地方保护，破除地域和渠道限制，促进公平竞争。
Contrast. Guangdong's 2026 trade-in plan writes the opposite rule into its own text: "一视同仁支持……不同所有制、不同注册地、不同规模经营主体参与".
Mitigating reading: the invoice rule may be a fraud control (it ties the sale to a taxpayer the city can audit). It still excludes out-of-town sellers by registration, which is what "破除地域限制" addresses.
3. Xiamen: "recommend buying local products" in the NEV rollout plan (2015)
厦门市新能源汽车推广应用实施方案, 2015-03-11. Source
加大对新能源汽车产业发展的支持力度，鼓励整车企业本地配套，推荐采购本地产品。
Ban. 国办发〔2014〕35号 as above, eight months earlier: "不得采取……要求整车企业采购本地生产的 电池、电机等零部件". Xiamen *encourages* rather than *requires* local components, but "推荐采购本地产品" is a government recommendation to buy local, in a plan implementing the very document that bans it. Confirmed, at the soft end.
Soft preferences (not counted as breaches)
| Document | Text | Why soft |
|---|---|---|
| 广东 粤府办〔2014〕9号, PV (2014-03-05; repost 2014-05-26) | 推动产业链企业……实现关键技术共享和产业链相关产品本地配套合作 | Promotes local supply-chain matching through a service platform; no exclusion. Under 国发〔2013〕24号 ("禁止地方保护" in procurement). |
| 安徽 皖政办〔2015〕16号, NEV (2015-04-07) | 到2020年，省内电池、电机、电控系统等关键零部件……满足全省新能源汽车发展需要 | A self-sufficiency target, not a purchasing rule. |
| 厦门 NEV plan 2018-2020 (2018-01-26) | 大力培育和扶持本地优势新能源汽车关键零部件企业的……产品推广应用 | Support for local suppliers' product promotion; no condition on buyers. |
| 厦门 "电动厦门" 2023-2025 (2023-10-29) | 引进一批本地配套缺失……的项目 | Investment attraction to fill supply gaps; industrial policy, not exclusion. |
Flagged but not protection
- Subsidy limited to locally registered vehicles (泉州 2015, 宁德 2015, 三明 2017, 广东 2017 audit, 广州 and 佛山 hydrogen-vehicle calls 2026). The condition is on the vehicle's registration, i.e. on where the consumer lives, and central rules assign the local top-up to the 上牌所在地 budget. No producer is excluded.
- Double-claim rule (北京 2026 appliances): consumers already subsidised in another region cannot claim again in Beijing.
- Restatements of the bans (fair-competition review notices from 广东, 福建, 安徽 and their departments; 广东 粤府办 NEV 2016 "坚决破除地方保护").
- FDI promotion (宁德, 厦门, 福建, 北京, 安徽: regional HQs, R&D centres). Two of these were in the screen's "explicit" list.
What this says about the screen
Of the 10 documents the keyword screen marks "explicit", 3 are confirmed (Fuzhou, Beijing, Xiamen 2015), 3 are soft preferences (Guangdong PV in two copies, Xiamen 2023), and 4 are not protection (泉州, 宁德 and 三明 consumer-registration rules; 宁德 FDI promotion). "By rule" (62) means only that the document funds local production, which the taxonomy always counts as favouring the locality; the locality search found no discriminating sentence in them beyond the ones above. Treat "by rule" as context, not as a lead.
