Economic Overview - China's economy has consistently crossed significant milestones, reaching an estimated GDP of around 140 trillion yuan in 2023, with an increment of over 35 trillion yuan, equivalent to the combined GDP of Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces [2] - The average economic growth rate over the past four years has been 5.5%, with China contributing approximately 30% to global economic growth [2] Domestic Demand - Domestic demand has played a crucial role, contributing an average of 86.4% to economic growth over the past four years [3] - Final consumption's contribution to economic growth averaged 56.2%, an increase of 8.6 percentage points compared to the previous five-year period [3] Investment Contributions - Capital formation from investments contributed an average of 30.2% to economic growth over the past four years [4] - Significant investments in high-tech industries and infrastructure have been made, with approximately 780,000 affordable housing units constructed, addressing housing issues for over 20 million people [4] Innovation and High-Tech Development - China is transitioning from a global manufacturing hub to a global innovation center, with high-tech manufacturing value added increasing by 42% and digital economy core industries growing by 73.8% [5] - R&D expenditure reached 3.6 trillion yuan, accounting for 2.68% of GDP, with enterprises contributing over 77% of this investment [5] Service Sector and Productivity - The development of the productive service sector is closely linked to improvements in production efficiency and value [6] - There is a focus on enhancing the share of productive services in GDP from 27%-30% to 35% during the next five-year period, which is expected to lead to a more rational industrial structure [6]

Group 1 - The phenomenon of "involution" is most pronounced among young people, with average weekly working hours increasing by over 4 hours in the past five years. The average weekly working hours for employees aged 25-34 rose from 46.7 hours in 2018 to 50.8 hours in 2023 [3][28] - In the manufacturing and productive service sectors, the "involution" phenomenon is particularly evident, while the working hours in real estate, infrastructure, and life service industries have decreased. From 2018 to 2023, the working hours in manufacturing increased by 0.7 hours, while life service industries saw a significant increase of 3.7 hours [2][21][150] - The average daily working time in China has increased by 21 minutes from 2018 to 2023, reaching 48.3 hours per week, which has led to a reduction in the time residents spend on purchasing goods and services from 80 minutes per day to 43 minutes per day [2][9][150] Group 2 - Current policies to combat "involution" focus on encouraging flexible work arrangements and paid leave, but these measures primarily address symptoms rather than the root causes of prolonged working hours. The "Promoting Consumption Special Action Plan" suggests exploring the establishment of spring and autumn breaks for primary and secondary schools [4][35][150] - The root cause of "involution" is the uneven distribution of employment across industries, with excessive employment in manufacturing leading to "involution" and insufficient employment in the service sector. Tariffs could accelerate the shift of employment from manufacturing to services, achieving a rebalancing [4][48][150] - There is a significant short-term employment gap in the life service industry, with a potential to absorb more jobs. In 2023, there was a 1.5 trillion yuan gap between service employment and value added, indicating a shortage of jobs in sectors like cultural entertainment and residential services [5][61][150] Group 3 - The long-term direction for combating "involution" involves aligning supply structures with changing demand structures, as residents' demand is showing a long-term trend towards "servicization." Global experiences indicate that as GDP per capita reaches 10,000 to 30,000 USD and urbanization rates hit 70%, the proportion of services in total consumption increases by approximately 0.6% annually [6][85][150] - The aging population is expected to increase the demand for service consumption, with each 1% increase in the aging rate correlating with a 1.3% rise in service consumption share. This trend is evident in countries like Japan and South Korea [6][93][150] - The trend of smaller household sizes is further stimulating demand for enjoyment-based services, indicating a robust growth potential for service consumption. In China, the average household size has decreased to 2.8 people, which is associated with higher spending on services like tourism and beauty [6][101][150]

Group 1 - The provincial government has issued implementation opinions to promote high-quality and full employment, focusing on supporting industries and enterprises with strong employment absorption capacity [1] - The plan includes financial support, tax incentives, and social security measures to stabilize and expand employment in key sectors, industries, and small and micro enterprises [1] - The province aims to accelerate the construction of four trillion-level industrial bases and 22 key industrial clusters, exploring employment opportunities in areas like "AI+", green economy, marine economy, and silver economy [1] Group 2 - Employment for youth, particularly college graduates, is a priority, with initiatives to promote job services and expand job opportunities in various sectors such as healthcare, community governance, and rural revitalization [2] - The province will enhance support for key employment groups, including veterans and those facing employment difficulties, by providing tailored assistance and promoting entrepreneurship [2] - The implementation opinions emphasize equal employment rights, requiring the removal of unreasonable restrictions in recruitment and employment management, and promoting a supportive environment for working mothers [3]

Group 1: PMI Data Overview - In June, the manufacturing PMI, non-manufacturing PMI, and composite PMI output indices were 49.7%, 50.5%, and 50.7%, respectively, with month-on-month increases of 0.2, 0.2, and 0.3 percentage points[2] - The manufacturing PMI has remained below the boom-bust line for three consecutive months, indicating ongoing economic pressure[3] - Non-manufacturing PMI showed resilience, particularly in the construction sector, which saw significant growth driven by residential and construction engineering[3] Group 2: Production and Demand Insights - Production and demand both rebounded, with demand rising above the boom-bust line, and the increase in demand outpacing production[4] - New orders increased by 0.4 percentage points to 50.2, new export orders rose by 0.2 percentage points to 47.7, and existing orders improved by 0.4 percentage points to 45.2[4] - Raw material inventory continued to rise, with the inventory of finished products significantly increasing by 1.6 percentage points to 48.1[5] Group 3: Price and Profitability Trends - Price indices rebounded for the first time since February, with the purchasing price index rising by 1.5 percentage points to 48.4, while the factory price index also increased by 1.5 percentage points to 46.2[5] - Despite the price increases, profit pressures for enterprises have not improved, indicating ongoing challenges in profitability[5] Group 4: Sector Performance - In the manufacturing sector, 6 out of 15 industries (40%) were in a prosperous range, an increase from 4 in May, with notable performance in petroleum processing, chemical fiber, and electrical equipment[6] - In the non-manufacturing sector, 10 out of 19 industries (53%) were in a prosperous range, a decrease from 13 in the previous month, with strong performance in postal services and civil engineering[6]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The domestic economy is in a stage of phased recovery of internal and external demand, driving the PMI index to repair upward for two consecutive months [5][11][25]. - In the third quarter, the economic fundamentals still face several pressures, including the potential drag of high - temperature weather on production, the risk of demand decline as the driving force of reduced external uncertainties weakens, and the market's pessimistic outlook on the future fundamentals reflected by the decline of business operation expectations and employment indexes [5][25]. - Whether the existing policies can be implemented faster and whether the Politburo meeting in July can provide new incremental information may be important catalysts to help the bond market break the current volatile pattern [5][25]. Summary by Directory 1. Demand Repair Drives Strong Production - The demand index rose to the expansion range for the first time since the intensification of trade frictions in March, with the new order index rising 0.4 points, and the increase was greater than that of production, indicating the effect of domestic demand expansion policies and the dual suppression of production by seasonality and unclear demand prospects [3][11]. - The rebound of domestic demand may be mainly driven by national subsidies and the "618" shopping festival, with a fragile structure, and the decline of the employment index also reflects this [11]. - The new export order index's upward slope slowed down significantly, and the export replenishment based on the easing of trade frictions may be nearing the end, and external demand may face a quarterly decline in the second half of the year [3][16]. - High - temperature weather in July - August may further drag down manufacturing production [11][12][13]. 2. Price Index Moderate Repair - The raw material price index and the ex - factory price index increased by 1.5 points respectively compared with the previous month. The rise of the raw material price index may be related to the increased geopolitical risks leading to greater fluctuations in international crude oil prices, and the increase in oil prices is transmitted to other raw material prices through transportation costs [4][19]. - The repair of the downstream price index may be related to the temporary suspension of national subsidies in some regions. After the central funds for trade - in are issued in July, the price trend of terminal products needs further attention [4][21]. 3. Strong Recovery in the Construction Industry - The drag of real estate on the construction industry has weakened. The construction industry PMI index rose 1.8 points to 52.8 this month, and the business activity index of housing construction returned to the expansion range [5][22]. - The business activity index of civil engineering construction was 56.7%, down 5.6 points from the previous month, but it has been in the high - prosperity range above 55.0% for three consecutive months, indicating that infrastructure is still the main force for the expansion of the construction industry [22]. - After the holiday effect fades, the consumer service industry has a seasonal decline, while the producer service industry is relatively strong [25].
