Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the transformation of industries and the necessity for policy innovation in response to economic changes since 2022, highlighting the divergence in economic indicators and the impact of external factors on domestic industries [1][6]. Group 1: Industry Transformation and New Challenges - Since 2022, the economic transformation has entered a "new stage," characterized by a downward trend in the contribution of traditional sectors like real estate, with growth rates for real estate-related industries dropping below 2% [7][24]. - The pressure in this new stage is increasingly focused on terminal demand, leading to a decline in PPI while CPI remains weak, indicating a shift of excess capacity to downstream sectors [13][24]. - The transformation has resulted in a significant decline in the growth rate of traditional industries, similar to trends observed from 2011 to 2015, which ultimately stabilized the economy [7][13]. Group 2: Policy Innovation - The effectiveness of traditional policy frameworks has diminished, necessitating comprehensive policy innovation to address the new economic landscape [1][35]. - By the end of 2024, a comprehensive optimization of the policy framework was initiated, focusing on supply-side structural reforms and enhancing the targeting of structural policies [35][42]. - The new policy framework emphasizes high-quality development, high-level openness, and sustainable growth, with a shift from investment-driven to people-centered approaches [3][121]. Group 3: External Shocks as Accelerators - External shocks, particularly during the tariff phases, have accelerated domestic industrial upgrades, with significant shifts in trade structures observed [64][65]. - The first phase of tariffs led to a notable increase in high-value-added industries, while the second phase primarily impacted low-value-added consumer goods, which were already experiencing significant internal competition [64][101]. - The export structure has improved, with a decrease in the proportion of exports to the U.S. and an increase in exports to non-U.S. economies, particularly in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative [83][90].

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The notes primarily discuss the impact of U.S. tariffs on China's export performance, particularly focusing on the electronics and integrated circuits sectors, as well as the overall trade dynamics between China and the U.S. [1][2][3] Key Points and Arguments 1. **Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Exports**: U.S. tariffs have led to a significant decline in exports to the U.S., with a reported drop of approximately 35%. However, the impact has started to weaken following recent U.S.-China trade talks, leading to improvements in the unit prices of electromechanical products, which may help restore profitability [1][3][4] 2. **Strong Performance of Integrated Circuits**: China's integrated circuit exports have shown robust growth, outperforming other electronic trade economies like Vietnam and South Korea. This indicates strong demand for electronic products despite the challenging trade environment [1][7] 3. **Sensitivity of Consumer Goods Exports**: China's exports of consumer goods to the U.S. are highly sensitive to tariff changes, while intermediate goods have shown resilience due to prior experience with trade tensions and government support [4][5] 4. **Emerging Industries Resilience**: New advantage industries such as lithium batteries and new energy vehicles have experienced growth in exports to the U.S. despite high tariffs, contrasting with declines in sensitive categories like solar products and food [5][8] 5. **Changes in Export Structure**: In May, the export structure of China was influenced by electromechanical products, cross-border e-commerce, and imitation shoes and bags. The demand for cross-border e-commerce has weakened, while new advantage industries like ships, integrated circuits, and automotive supply chains have shown strong external demand [1][6] 6. **Weakening Import Demand**: In May, China's import performance was negatively affected by a decline in demand for energy and mineral-related capital goods. The demand from ASEAN and African economies has also shown significant downturns, with the demand for integrated circuits from Taiwan being a key support factor [9][10] 7. **Global Manufacturing Stability**: Recent signals of tariff easing and stabilization in global manufacturing PMI have alleviated some external demand pressures. The improvement in the new export orders PMI for China indicates a potential recovery in external demand [2][12] 8. **Future Challenges for External Demand**: Looking ahead, external demand may face downward pressure, particularly due to the front-loading of demand from export and re-export activities. The government may focus on foreign affairs to mitigate these pressures, with potential incremental policies being deployed in the latter half of the year [12][13] Additional Important Insights - The notes highlight the importance of monitoring the potential disruptions in the electronic supply chain and the overall trade environment as global economic conditions evolve [7][12] - The resilience of new advantage industries suggests a shift in China's export strategy, adapting to the complexities of international trade dynamics [8][12]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In May, the month - on - month decline of PPI remained the same as in April, and the year - on - year decline of CPI also stayed unchanged.

The factors affecting CPI month - on - month change from high to low were: services (0)> livestock meat (- 0.01pct)> fresh produce (- 0.03pct)> core consumer goods (- 0.03pct)> energy (- 0.13pct) [2][16]. - **Food Item**: The month - on - month decline of the food item fell back to around - 0.2%, stronger than the seasonal level, affecting CPI to decline by about 0.04 percentage points. Beef prices rose due to reduced imports, while pork prices fell. Fresh vegetable prices decreased, while limited supplies of fresh fruits and aquatic products supported food prices [2][19]. - **Non - food Item**: The month - on - month decline of the non - food item exceeded the seasonal level, falling to - 0.2%, affecting CPI to decline by about 0.16 percentage points. Oil prices dropped, clothing was the main supporting item in core consumer goods, while furniture and car prices still had a drag. Travel - related prices in services were resilient, but rent was still weak [23][24][25]. 3.3 May PPI: Oil Price Drag Increases, Price Decline of Export Industries Narrows, and Month - on - Month Decline Remains at - 0.4% - **Overall Situation**: The month - on - month decline of PPI remained around - 0.4%, mainly dragged down by production materials, while the performance of living materials improved. In May, production material prices decreased by 0.6% (- 0.1pct), and the prices of living materials turned from negative to flat [30]. - **By Industry**: The number of industries with price declines among industrial producers was still around two - thirds.
