The forecast for direct transfer on all fossil fuels for general services in China indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The expenditure is expected to grow annually, reflecting a significant upward trend. In 2023, the transfer was lower than the 2024 projected figure, indicating a clear rise in spending as the forecast period progresses. The nation is managing the transition of its energy sector while still maintaining fiscal support for fossil fuels due to economic and infrastructural dependencies.

Future trends to watch for include:

China's shifting policies towards renewable energy, impacting fossil fuel subsidies.
Global energy market dynamics influencing direct transfer decisions.
Technological advancements potentially reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
