Abstract

This study delves into the transformative journey of China’s emergency industry, a crucial sector at the intersection of national security, technological innovation, and societal well-being. Following the SARS outbreak, China committed to overhauling its emergency management system, evolving from a narrow approach to a multifaceted strategy encompassing policy innovation, market dynamics, and societal engagement. The paper analyzes strategic policies like the 2007 Emergency Response Law and subsequent developments, underscoring their role in enhancing China’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities. A pivotal focus of this research is the “one case, three systems” framework, which highlights the integration of planning, coordination, and response methods with essential hardware support. The paper comprehensively reviews China’s legislative achievements, strategic changes, and leadership in global emergency management, offering insights into the complex roles played by government policies, market forces, and social organizations in the emergency industry. The research critically examines challenges such as the misalignment between market demand and production capabilities, the growth of socialized emergency services, and pricing strategies in emergency scenarios. It proposes countermeasures, including the development of mandatory standards to transform flexible demand into rigid demand, strengthening support for social organizations, rationalizing emergency product and service pricing, and optimizing emergency product and service structures. This study provides significant theoretical and policy implications, highlighting the interplay between government interventions, market dynamics, and societal needs in shaping China’s emergency industry, offering a blueprint for future research and policy formulation.
