Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates Chinese public policy effects on financial innovation development by evaluating its dual regulatory and promotional functions. The research investigates policy implementations that were established to limit financial risks and protect market fairness. This analysis includes two significant studies: the sudden growth and destruction of the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending sector and the halted Ant Group IPO. The two examples demonstrate that inconsistent oversight results in marketplace disorder coupled with unbalanced conditions. The paper evaluates promotional policies through examination of financial tools, including R&D tax credits and subsidies, which increased company investment in innovation. Public financial infrastructure projects that focus on payment systems and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) allowed the government to establish conditions for new financial services development. The investigation demonstrates how appropriate risk control measures should exist together with innovative strategies. Public policy in China demonstrates its ability to steer financial innovation through its implementation, while showing certain obstacles in the process. The current level of progress comes with ongoing restrictions in long-term effective policy implementation due to regulatory capacity inadequacies and policy division. A better, consistent policy strategy designed for future financial development needs to be established for sustainable growth.
