China is actively developing and utilizing Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) as a high-performance, "green" new material, especially through Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), to replace metals and FRP in large, complex parts for automotive (bumpers, panels), construction (formwork), and heavy machinery, offering excellent impact strength, design flexibility, and eco-friendly processing with low energy use and waste. Chinese research focuses on improving catalysts (like ruthenium-based systems) for better control and adding modifiers, expanding its use in lightweighting for new energy vehicles, wind power, and robotics. 

In essence, China sees PDCPD as a versatile, sustainable material driving innovation in manufacturing by offering superior mechanical properties and processing advantages over traditional materials, according to suppliers like Cattelan and platforms like Made-in-China.com.
