Core Viewpoint - A new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deeply developing, leading to a restructuring of global industrial and supply chains, with international competition becoming more intense. The manufacturing industry in China is expected to strengthen and improve in market competition, achieving high-quality development [1][3]. Group 1: Manufacturing Industry Performance - In June, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was reported at 49.7%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month, marking two consecutive months of growth [1]. - Among the 21 surveyed industries, 11 are in the expansion zone, an increase of 4 from the previous month, indicating an overall improvement in the manufacturing sector's prosperity [1]. - The recovery in manufacturing is attributed to improvements in both supply and demand sides, with the new orders index returning to the expansion zone at 50.2% after two months below 50% [1][2]. Group 2: Economic Context and Challenges - The manufacturing sector reflects macroeconomic trends, with both supply and demand gradually improving, particularly in equipment and high-tech manufacturing, which are showing rapid growth [2]. - Despite the positive trends, the PMI remains below the 50% threshold, indicating that the foundation for economic growth still needs to be solidified [2]. - External challenges such as global economic slowdown, weak external demand, and geopolitical risks pose significant threats to China's economic development [2]. Group 3: Strategic Recommendations - To enhance the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, it is essential to strengthen innovation capabilities, focusing on upgrading traditional industries through technological advancements [2][3]. - Policy implementation is crucial, with initiatives such as pilot programs for the integration of human resources services and manufacturing in selected cities aimed at exploring new paths for industrial upgrading and employment promotion [3]. - Continuous policy support is needed to stabilize investment, foreign trade, and consumption, facilitating the transformation of the manufacturing industry towards high-end, intelligent, and green development [3].

Group 1 - The report from the Bank of China Research Institute indicates that frequent adjustments in U.S. trade policies will gradually reveal negative impacts on the global economy by Q2 2025, affecting U.S. consumer demand and investment activities in other economies [1] - Global economic growth momentum weakened in Q2 2025 due to changes in the trade environment, with a stable supply side and continued weak demand side [1] - Major economies are experiencing sluggish consumer growth, with U.S. retail sales declining by 0.9% month-on-month in May, and consumer confidence indices in the U.S., Eurozone, and Japan at two-year lows [1] Group 2 - The report forecasts that the global economy will face more challenges in Q3 due to tariff impacts, with a potential continuation of slowing demand expansion [1] - High inflation continues to erode real income in Japan, leading to weak domestic demand growth [1] - Emerging economies may increase their expansion into domestic and non-U.S. markets, and the restructuring of global supply chains could boost some economies' real investments, but overall global demand expansion remains uncertain [1] Group 3 - The report states that tariff increases and trade policy uncertainties will raise price levels in Q3, while changes in the Middle East may exacerbate inflationary pressures through impacts on international energy prices and global shipping [2] - Weak consumer market growth expectations may alleviate price pressures from the demand side, leading to differentiated inflation trends across different economies [2] - As U.S. inventories of previously "imported goods" are depleted, tariff burdens will gradually be passed on to U.S. consumer prices and production costs, while weak consumer demand will suppress price increases [2]
