China has implemented a number of production-side subsidy policies, which aim to assist specific sectors in achieving better development and production. These policies have generally achieved good results, but they have also created many problems that are different from those in other countries. Studying how to implement production-side subsidy policies is crucial for the overall development of society. To address the aforementioned issues, this research provides many representative examples of the current situation and problems faced by productionside subsidies, which reflect various different conditions. Ultimately, the article summarizes the problems of current production-side subsidy policies in terms of policy effectiveness, mechanism design, and international impact. Specifically, these problems include influencing normal market competition, the unreasonable waste of a large amount of funds, and often causing dissatisfaction in other countries. At the end of the article, the future optimization direction is summarized, that is, policies should be more precise and reasonable, and more fair and transparent. This provides a professional perspective for understanding subsidy policies and has certain guiding significance for the selection of actual subsidy methods in the future.
