China, US begin third round of trade talks in Swedish capital

The Chinese and American delegations – led by Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng and
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent – arrived at Rosenbad early Monday evening. The historic building also serves as the Swedish government headquarters and the office of the country's prime minister.
Media from both countries – as well as Japan's Kyodo News, France's AFP and several Swedish outlets – began gathering in front of the building early Monday morning, where the Chinese and American flags had been raised.
While the Chinese delegation arrived on Sunday afternoon, their American counterparts landed in
the Swedish capital on Monday.
Swedish authorities had blocked off the area surrounding the building for security reasons and swept the area for explosives, prompting questions about the commotion from passersby to the assembled police officers and journalists.

China moves to stop price wars in 'anti-involution' push
The Chinese government has launched a nationwide campaign to prevent companies from offering 'cutthroat' prices, following a year-on-year decline in industrial profits across various sectors in the first half of this. The Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee, in a meeting on July 30, decided to deepen the construction of a unified national market, promote the continuous optimization of market competition order and govern disorderly competition among enterprises by laws and regulations. The Politburo also proposed deepening the implementation of special actions to boost consumption, cultivate new growth points for service consumption and expand commodity consumption. Chinese media reported that the top political body plans to halt 'neijuan,' or involution, which refers to price wars triggered by low demand, high inventory, excessive production capacity and over-competition. The Politburo's decision came after the National Statistics Bureau (NBS) reported on July 27 that the industrial profits of Chinese firms fell 1.8% to 3.44 trillion yuan (US$473 billion) in the first six months of this year from a year earlier. State-owned enterprises (SOEs) saw their combined profit drop 7.6% to 1.11 trillion yuan, while joint-stock companies' profits fell 3.1% to 2.53 trillion yuan. Foreign companies in mainland China, as well as those in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, reported a combined profit of 882.3 billion yuan in the first half, representing a 2.5% increase compared to the same period of 2024. Private firms' profit rose 1.7% to 939 billion yuan. While the 1.8% decline in Chinese firms' overall profits in the first half may seem mild, a breakdown by industry, compiled by Asia Times, reveals a clearer picture. In the first five months of this year, company profits showed different trends in the coal mining (-50.6% year-on-year), oil and gas (-10.4%), processing of agricultural products (+38%), wine and beverage (+4.3%), textile (-1.8%), leather and fur (-1.6%), wood (-8.8%), paper (-22%), chemical raw materials (-4.7%), rubber and plastic products (+1.4%), and non-metal products (+0.6%) sectors. However, in June, company profits fell significantly in the coal mining (-63% year-on-year), oil and gas (-17%), processing of agricultural products (-23%), wine and beverage (-21.6%), textile (-31.9%), leather and fur (-36%), wood (-17.4%), paper (-16.5%), chemical raw materials (-25.9%), rubber and plastic products (-21.4%), and non-metal products (-26.7%) sectors. Some economists suggested that the figures for the first five months could be attributed to weak domestic consumption and a sluggish property market, while the sharp decrease in June reflected the negative impact of the US-China tariff wars on Chinese firms between April and June. On August 1, China Shenhua Energy, the largest coal mining enterprise in China, suspended the trading of its shares ahead of a significant asset acquisition that seeks to reform China's coal industry's supply chain. The company said it will acquire coal, pithead power generation, coal-to-oil, coal-to-gas, and coal chemical-related assets from 13 subsidiaries of its controlling shareholder, China Energy Investment Corp, including Xinjiang Energy Group, Wuhai Energy and Shaanxi Shenyan Coal. In an article on Tuesday, China Energy News, a state-owned media outlet, said that the merger between Shenhua Energy and its sister companies is a good example of the central government's 'anti-involution' plan. Analysts said the deal can help Shenhua lower operational costs, strengthen its ability to resist risks and improve short-term business performance. Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said the government needs to employ different methods to achieve its 'anti-involution' goal, as it encompasses many sectors, ranging from upstream industries such as steel and coal to downstream ones like photovoltaics, lithium batteries and new energy vehicles. 'For traditional industries, new production capacity should be strictly controlled. Enterprises should be encouraged to carry out staggered production or voluntarily reduce output,' Luo said. 'For those in the emerging sectors, it is not appropriate to over-intervene in their businesses due to their rapid technological iteration,' he said. 'The government should support companies' product innovation, as well as their mergers and acquisitions, and restructuring. It should also smooth the market-based exit mechanism.' Zhang Lin, chief macro analyst at Shanghai Far East Zixin Assessment Ltd Co, said that, due to the 'neijuan' in the photovoltaics, lithium batteries, and new energy cars sectors, the Politburo's latest meeting emphasized that the development of 'new quality productive forces' must also comply with market order, primarily through the construction of a unified national market to reduce price competition and avoid over-investment. Wen Ge, a Shandong-based columnist, writes in an article that local governments will no longer provide tax credits and free land to new energy car makers. He says the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers will stop releasing charts that rank automakers by their monthly sales. At the same time, many auto parts suppliers signed a pact to promise they won't initiate vicious price wars. Some Chinese pundits have expressed concern that Beijing's anti-involution campaign will lead to job cuts. An article by a Henan-based writer using the pseudonym 'Haibo Design' states that China has entered a new era in which people compete for survival, rather than for increased income. 'Now, the cake (economy) no longer grows rapidly, but the number of people who want a piece of cake keeps growing,' the writer says. 'People's focus is not to make a bigger cake, but to fight for the existing one. This is involution.' He says that due to 'neijuan,' companies cut their product prices while workers work overtime voluntarily. He adds that, when local governments eliminate obsolete capacity, many factories will be shut down and many people will lose their jobs. He hopes the local government will help ensure labor rights and strengthen the social security net during this anti-involution campaign. The NBS announced on July 17 that China's official unemployment rate in urban areas stood at 5% in June. It said the unemployment rate for the 15-24 age group was 14.5% in June, compared with 14.9% in May. Some observers argue that the official unemployment figures do not accurately reflect the real situation in China, as anyone who works more than an hour per week is classified as employed.

Chinese corporate earnings are likely to support ongoing run for stocks: analysts
The earnings season that is under way is likely to spur a solid run for Chinese stocks , as a sunnier macroeconomic environment keeps profit growth afloat. With the frenzy surrounding US tariffs settling down and a dearth of new economic policies from Beijing, investors are turning their attention to corporate earnings reports to see if the rally still has legs. So far, analysts seem to believe the results have been positive. Second-quarter profits for mainland-listed companies likely increased 5.1 per cent from a year earlier, rising for a second consecutive quarter, according to Caitong Securities. Meanwhile, Huaitai Securities said it expected overseas-listed Chinese companies to post a collective 13 per cent profit increase in the first half, up from 8 per cent for all of 2024. Mainland-listed companies snapped a streak of 15 consecutive quarterly profit declines last year after Beijing ratcheted up policy support to bolster economic growth and the property market. A continued earnings recovery would instil more confidence among investors who are groping for fresh catalysts. Mainland stocks have rebounded significantly from their lows in April after Beijing and Washington struck a tentative trade deal and after that, China reported better-than-expected economic growth for the first half. 'China's credit cycle is picking up, and it's also actively pressing ahead with policies to boost consumption and combat [excessive industrial capacity],' said He Kang, an analyst at Huatai Securities in Shanghai. 'The improvement in corporate earnings may be sustainable.'

China's economists weigh pros and cons of consumption benchmarks
As Beijing gathers public input on China's next five-year plan – a mission statement for the next half-decade of economic and social policy – how best to bolster domestic consumption has emerged as a topic of considerable debate as the country seeks new avenues for growth amid a murky landscape for global trade. One point of contention among scholars and other influential thinkers is whether to set measurable consumption targets, in a similar fashion to other headline benchmarks like gross domestic product growth. Some have called for indicators such as the household consumption rate – the share of consumer spending in GDP – to be written into the blueprint, while others argue that such metrics are not operationally feasible as policy goals. Among those in favour is Chang Xiuze, an economist with the Academy of Macroeconomic Research under the National Development and Reform Commission – the country's top economic planner – who has made this proposal on various occasions. 'From the perspective of the national strategy to expand domestic demand and the lives of ordinary people, could the 'household consumption rate' be listed separately in the 15th five-year plan as a national 'monitoring and assessment indicator'?' he wrote after a research trip to the northeastern province of Liaoning in June. In the note, compiled last month by the China Academy of Northeast Revitalisation think tank – where Chang serves as deputy director of the expert committee – he noted China's household consumption rate was a 'low' 39.6 per cent in 2023.
