NDRC to Accelerate AI Law Legislation, National AI Computing Power Surges 2.8-Fold

China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced plans to accelerate the legislative process for an artificial intelligence law, aiming to establish a key institutional framework and provide a distinctive AI governance approach. As of the end of June 2026, the national AI computing power scale had reached 2.8 times that of the same period in 2025, with AI-related industries expanding by over 30%. The NDRC emphasized the need for risk monitoring and human-centered development. Additionally, estimates indicate that the computing network during the 15th Five-Year Plan period will attract RMB 4 trillion in direct investment.

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%.
