Article 9 includes an OPC service-voucher framework with a cumulative enterprise cap, while compute, data and scenario measures elsewhere have different recipients. None should be read as a universal free-compute or cash package for every foreign founder. Answer source refs: et-community, et-token ## What matters - The relevant geographic scope is Yizhuang New City, as specified in the measure. - OPC services, model-company compute and data procurement are separate categories. - Published measures do not establish a currently open application or available desk. ## What the OPC-specific measure covers Status: Published policy Article 9 of E-Town’s August Token-economy measures describes flexible support for OPC services including prototyping, hardware and software compatibility and brand-related work. It states a cumulative cap of RMB 1 million per enterprise. That is a ceiling within a conditional support mechanism, not an annual cash entitlement. Source refs: et-token ## Why the compute headlines need careful reading Status: Published policy Other articles of the same instrument address model enterprises, data purchases and scenario applications. Their spending bases and beneficiaries differ from the OPC service provision. A figure from one article should not be carried across to another applicant category. Source refs: et-token ## Geography and application status matter Status: Application conditions The measures specify lawful operation within Yizhuang New City’s 225-square-kilometre area, together with compliance conditions. They also address non-duplication for the same entity or project when other E-Town policies overlap. An address described loosely as “Beijing” is not enough to establish geographic eligibility. Source refs: et-token, et-explainer ## Community, workspace and actual operating capacity Status: Verification required The July official update describes an OPC community and supporting activity. It establishes that an ecosystem is being developed; it is not a real-time inventory of desks, admission places or services available to a specific foreign-owned company. Source refs: et-community ## When Yizhuang belongs on the shortlist Status: Decision guidance Yizhuang deserves investigation when the project has a specific use for the operating and industrial relationships described in the deeper district guide. Name the first development, testing or commercial milestone, then ask whether the local environment can help deliver it. Source refs: Editorial decision guidance ## The enquiry to make before spending Status: Verification required Foreign-founder eligibility should be confirmed directly with the programme or competent authority. Supply the proposed ownership, activity, local operating arrangement and service requirement. Request an answer tied to the relevant article and current application notice.
