I found the title of the article totally wrong. It is not China or China government that have problems to find 41 B$ but an investment fund (I suppose pseudo private).
I doubt that China have any problem with 41 billions, it is 4% the PIL (GDP) of Italy for example.
The original title from Finantial Times refers to "China's economic malaise" tha is a totally different thing.

"the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which oversees the fund is currently grappling with challenges in securing money for the funds new objectives."

It's government fund looking for private investment.

The private investors aren't convinced that there is a return in the future given the current general environment , the fund's goals, or the fund's corruption or the lingering/looming/continuing/metastasizing trade/cold war .

I find the headline fair but all headlines can't contain the full complexity of article which can never contain the full complexity of reality.

Even a rich country like China (or a richer one like the US) needs to be cautious with the levels of investment required by modern Fab facilities.

According to this site :

41B for China is like a normal family struggle to find 60$ in a year.
For me this is ridiculous and I confirm that the title of the article is wrong.

Your link is looking at GDP, which is very different than government budget/revenue (although they are related).
