China Politburo lays out H2 agenda: speed fiscal spending, bond use; push 'two major, two new' programs

The Politburo met on July 30 to set second-half priorities, calling for faster fiscal spending and bond deployment, advancement of "two major" national projects and "two new" equipment renewal and trade-in programs, and firm protection of the grassroots "three guarantees" (basic living, wage payments and government operations). Monetary policy will be used flexibly while fiscal-financial coordination is optimised to drive domestic demand. In H1, general public budget expenditure rose 1.5% to RMB14.33 trillion, boosted by 10.8% growth in healthcare and 7.6% in social security. The 2026 proactive fiscal stance includes RMB1.3 trillion in ultra-long special bonds, of which RMB572 billion has been issued. Basic pension subsidies reached RMB1.2 trillion and medical insurance subsidies RMB386.4 billion. A new RMB100 billion six-policy package combining fiscal interest subsidies drove more than RMB17 trillion in related lending and supported approximately RMB1.31 trillion in consumer spending, delivering 99 million person-times of subsidy benefits.

NHTSA Rejects Tesla Exemption, Orders Recall of Nearly 20,000 Model 3 and Y for Headlight Brightness Violation

The U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rejected Tesla's exemption request and ordered the recall of nearly 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from model years 2017-2023. The recall stems from low-beam headlight brightness exceeding federal standards: a maximum intensity of 230.1 candela in the 10°-90° elevation zone, nearly double the 125 candela limit. Tesla's self-inspection in 2024 found the non-compliance, but regulators deemed the company's defense insufficient, noting a defect rate near 100% and testing only one of eight required scenarios.
