Core Viewpoint - Recent adjustments to the automobile trade-in policies across various regions in China indicate a shift in government support for the automotive industry, with some areas pausing or modifying their subsidy programs while others are reintroducing them to stimulate consumption [3][5][6]. Group 1: Policy Adjustments - Multiple regions, including Wuhan and Xiangyang, have announced the suspension of automobile trade-in policies effective from August 19, 2025, while the vehicle scrapping and updating policies will continue [3]. - Several provinces, such as Qinghai, Guizhou, and Inner Mongolia, have also paused their trade-in subsidies, with some areas halting scrapping policies as well [3]. - The suspension of trade-in policies is not permanent; for instance, Guizhou cited a technical upgrade as the reason for the pause, indicating a future resumption [3]. Group 2: Financial Support and Subsidy Distribution - The Ministry of Finance has allocated 300 billion yuan in special long-term bonds to support the trade-in program, with 162 billion yuan already disbursed in two batches earlier this year [4][5]. - A third batch of 69 billion yuan has been distributed to various regions, with remaining funds expected to be allocated in October [5]. - Some regions, like Chongqing, have reintroduced trade-in subsidies with a budget of 300 million yuan for the third quarter, implementing a "first come, first served" approach [5]. Group 3: Market Impact and Consumer Behavior - The China Passenger Car Association reported that from January to July, retail sales of passenger cars reached 12.728 million units, a year-on-year increase of 10.1%, with July sales at 1.826 million units, up 6.3% [6]. - The introduction and adjustment of trade-in and scrapping subsidies have significantly influenced market dynamics, creating a "policy red envelope effect" in the first half of the year [6]. - However, the recent pause in subsidies and the tightening of high-interest loan policies have led to increased consumer costs, resulting in a new wave of market hesitation [6].
