In my research I have definitely seen a recent push in policies related to the Yangtze River related regions. Regional attention on policies is usually related to availability of funding, so an increase would correlate. However, this doesn't necessarily mean a large increase specifically in rural funding for village sewage that will open the floodgates for MABR.
Much of this funding may be related to enforcing bans or reforms on industrial and agricultural waste, forcibly removing some high polluting companies/industries from the banks of the Yangtze, industrial wastewater collection and treatment schemes, rubbish collection and river remediation.
Overall though, China appears committed to meeting their targets, and we are getting into the pointy end of the 13th 5 year plan. The next 24 months will be crucial. Water will also likely to continue to be a focus of China's 14th 5 Year Plan, due in March 2021.
MABR attention is starting to accelerate, and we should soon see if any partners begin testing on the SUBRE front.
