China's July 2026 Manufacturing PMI Falls to 49.2%; Equipment and High-Tech Manufacturing Maintain Expansion

China's manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.2% in July 2026, entering contraction territory due to a high base from earlier rapid growth and the onset of the traditional off-season for some industries. The equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing PMIs stood at 51.4% and 53.3%, respectively, maintaining expansion. In contrast, consumer goods and high-energy consumption sectors weakened. The production index and new orders index declined to 49.9% and 48.5%, while input prices remained elevated at 53.2% and output prices fell to 47.8%.

Chinese Big Tech to Deploy Supernode Solutions at Scale in H2 2026; Huawei, Sugon Launch 1024-Card Products

Chinese large internet companies plan large-scale deployment of supernode solutions in the second half of 2026. Huawei and Sugon have already demonstrated 1024-card products, with Huawei set to deliver 8192-card supernodes by Q4 2026. Over 750 sets of Huawei's 384-card supernode have been deployed across industries. Sugon's 640-card liquid-cooled supernode achieved 90% utilization at a national supercomputing hub. The shift to inference-driven workloads (5:1 to 10:1 ratio) is accelerating adoption, as supernodes deliver 10x performance with only 2x power consumption and 30-50% improvement in PD separation scenarios.
