Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rising importance of "anti-involution" in the market, highlighting significant misunderstandings regarding the concept of "involution" and its implications for supply-side reforms and economic structure transformation [2][3]. Group 1: Misunderstanding of "Involution" - "Involution" is not equivalent to "overcapacity"; it arises from strong demand leading to proactive supply increases, contrasting with passive overcapacity due to demand decline [3][4]. - The price behavior differs: "overcapacity" leads to price drops due to demand decline, while "involution" results in chaotic price competition despite strong demand [3][4]. - Supply-side reforms previously addressed overcapacity in high-energy sectors, while current "anti-involution" focuses on the middle and lower reaches of the industry, particularly private enterprises [4][5]. Group 2: Targeted Areas of "Anti-Involution" - The high-energy sector has undergone significant capacity upgrades, and traditional backward capacity is not as pronounced as during previous reforms [5][6]. - Policies may target specific industries with excessive growth, such as coal and pork, to stabilize prices, but the focus is more on aligning supply with demand rather than drastically reducing supply [6][7]. Group 3: Policy Mechanisms - Effective "anti-involution" strategies should not solely rely on self-discipline talks but should include industry mergers, raising standards, and matching supportive policies [8][9]. - Historical experiences from Japan, the US, and Germany suggest that fostering non-price competition and developing non-overcapacity sectors, like services, is crucial for addressing the root causes of "involution" [8][9]. Group 4: Equipment Update and Debt Management - Addressing the issue of equipment updates is vital, as many industries retain old equipment while acquiring new, which can lead to inefficiencies [9][142]. - The current situation shows a significant increase in overdue accounts, particularly among private enterprises, indicating a need for stricter debt management policies [152][160].

Group 1 - Rare earths are a crucial strategic resource for China due to their key roles in military and high-tech fields, with China holding a complete industrial chain [1][7][16] - China's rare earth production accounts for 70% of global output, with projections for 2024 indicating a production of 270,000 tons, representing 68.5% of global total [1][8][16] - Despite ongoing trade tensions, the U.S. maintains a high dependency on Chinese rare earths, with reliance stabilizing around 75% in recent years [1][8][19] Group 2 - China possesses a complete industrial chain in the rare earth sector, from mining to application, making it difficult for other countries to establish alternative supply chains [2][16] - The rare earth industry is segmented into upstream mining, midstream processing, and downstream manufacturing, with only China achieving full coverage across all segments [2][16] Group 3 - Other products with "extreme reliance" on China include chemicals and mineral metals, particularly in the U.S., where 98 products have over 90% import reliance from China, totaling $16.25 billion [3][19][25] - The U.S. has seen a significant increase in dependency on mineral metals, with reliance jumping from 0% in 2022 to 100% in 2024 [3][25] - Chemical imports from China have also surged, with the dependency rate rising from 28.9% in 2010 to 93.8% in 2024 [3][25][49] Group 4 - Products with strategic value similar to rare earths include certain chemicals and metals, with a total import scale of $1.5 billion, indicating potential as key bargaining chips in trade negotiations [4][39] - Key materials such as lithium battery additives and active pharmaceutical ingredients are dominated by Chinese production, making them difficult to replace [4][33][39] Group 5 - China's export share in chemicals has significantly increased, with a 21.1 percentage point rise since 2010, reflecting enhanced competitiveness [5][42][49] - The U.S. has seen a dramatic increase in chemical imports from China, with the share rising from 34.1% in 2010 to 95.4% in 2024, highlighting the critical role of Chinese chemicals in the U.S. supply chain [5][49]

Overview - The core CPI data for June in the US was slightly weaker than expected, but the inflation effects of tariffs are becoming more evident. The June CPI year-on-year was 2.7%, slightly above the market expectation of 2.6%, while the core CPI year-on-year was 2.9%, matching expectations. The month-on-month core CPI was 0.2%, below the expected 0.3% [3][38] - The 10-year US Treasury yield and the US dollar index initially fell but later rebounded, indicating market expectations of stronger future inflation [11][38] Structure - The main drivers of the CPI rebound in June were crude oil, core goods (excluding new and used cars), and non-rent services. The energy CPI increased by 0.9% month-on-month, compared to a previous decline of 1.0%, reflecting rising global oil prices [4][39] - Core goods inflation showed signs of warming, with the core goods CPI rising by 0.2% month-on-month, indicating the gradual impact of tariffs. However, the CPI for new and used cars remained weak, with used car prices dropping by 0.7% month-on-month [20][39] - Rent inflation slightly slowed, with a month-on-month increase of 0.2% in June, down from 0.3% in May. Core non-rent service inflation rebounded, with medical, transportation, and entertainment services showing month-on-month increases [39][40] Outlook - The second half of the year may see continued upward pressure on US inflation, with the third quarter being a critical verification period for tariff inflation effects. The combination of increased tariff revenues and strong cost-pass-through willingness from US companies suggests inflation may enter an upward range [5][28] - The Federal Reserve is expected to initiate interest rate cuts in September, with two cuts anticipated within the year, despite the potential for rising inflation in the third quarter. The labor market is showing signs of weakness, which may influence the Fed's decisions [34][40]

Core Viewpoints - The economic data for June reveals five significant "anomalies," indicating new changes in the economy lurking in hidden corners [3][9][110] - Despite strong performance in exports and industrial production, the second quarter GDP remained in line with expectations due to a notable decline in construction output and price disturbances affecting nominal indicators [3][9][110] Economic Data Overview - In Q2, GDP grew by 5.2%, matching expectations, while June's retail sales increased by 4.8%, below the expected 5.6%. Fixed asset investment rose by 2.8%, also below the anticipated 3.7%, and industrial value added increased by 6.8%, exceeding the expected 5.5% [2][8][107] Consumption Insights - Retail sales and catering revenues saw a significant decline due to the misalignment of e-commerce promotions and competitive subsidies from food delivery platforms. In June, retail sales growth fell by 1.6 percentage points to 4.8%, with notable drops in categories like home appliances and communication equipment [3][20][108] Investment Analysis - Fixed asset investment growth fell to a three-year low, with a 2.7 percentage point drop to 0% in June. This decline is attributed to a decrease in investment prices and significant downturns in construction, manufacturing, and service sector investments [4][23][66] Real Estate Sector - Although real estate financing improved in June, investment remained weak due to the ongoing impact of reduced stock projects. Credit financing for real estate companies rose by 6.8 percentage points to -2.3%, but real estate investment growth fell to -12.9% [4][30][109] Industrial Production - Industrial value added surged due to an increase in working days and "export grabbing." In June, industrial value added rose by 1 percentage point to 6.8%, with specific sectors like textiles and chemical raw materials benefiting from this trend [5][41][54] Long-term Economic Outlook - The "demand front-loading" and "fiscal front-loading" effects may lead to a switch in economic strength between the first and second halves of the year. The economic adjustment phase since 2022 is nearing its end, with expectations for GDP growth around 4.6% in the second half, while the annual target remains at 5.0% [6][46][110]
