Redistributive-frame policy programme launched at the 10th meeting of the CCP Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs on 17 August 2021. Content: (i) "third distribution" — moral encouragement / pressure on large private firms and high-net-worth individuals to make charitable donations (Tencent pledged RMB100bn; Alibaba RMB100bn); (ii) tax-enforcement escalation on the entertainment sector (Zheng Shuang RMB299m fine August 2021; Viya RMB1.34bn fine December 2021); (iii) regional rebalancing with Zhejiang designated demonstration zone; (iv) property-sector and education-tutoring crackdowns repositioned as distributional measures. Announced in the same window as the platform / fintech crackdown and "double reduction" education policy. Rhetorical intensity moderated from early-2022 after the property downturn and the start of zero-COVID economic stress, but the programme remains formally active and framing persists in Xi-era policy documents.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
