China's weak factory activity maintains pressure for more stimulus as tariff risks weigh
Business sentiment remains weak as employment, factory prices and export orders continue to struggle. (EPA Images pic) BEIJING : China's manufacturing activity shrank for a third straight month in June, though at a slower pace, as increases in new orders, purchasing volumes and supplier delivery times signalled that policy support rolled out since late last year is taking effect. But business sentiment remains subdued, Monday's survey showed, with employment, factory gate prices and new export orders still languishing, and keeping alive calls for even more stimulus as authorities deal with US President Donald Trump's tariff onslaught and chronic weakness in the property sector. The National Bureau of Statistics purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 49.7 in June from 49.5 in May, matching the median forecast in a Reuters poll but remaining below the 50-mark that separates growth from contraction. 'Two months of successive improvement, that's a decent reading given June was the first full month without Trump's prohibitive 100%-plus tariffs,' said Xu Tianchen, senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit. 'There is still evidence of frontloading in trade, but the tariffs are lower now and manufacturers are preparing to ship holiday season goods,' he added. The new export orders sub-index remained in contraction for a 14th straight month in June, inching up to 47.7 from 47.5 in May, while employment diverged from other indicators by deteriorating further. However, new domestic orders rose to 50.2 from 49.8, and purchasing volumes jumped from 47.6 to 50.2 – offering policymakers some hope that domestic demand may be starting to recover. Zichun Huang, China's economist at Capital Economics, said the PMIs suggested the world's second-largest economy had regained some momentum over the past month but warned tensions with the West would continue to squeeze its exports and there were still signs of deflationary pressures. The non-manufacturing PMI, which includes services and construction, grew to 50.5 from 50.3. Activity in the food and beverages, travel, hospitality and logistics sectors fell this month, NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe said in a statement. However, this drag was offset by a pickup in the construction PMI, which rose to a 3-month high of 52.8, Capital Economics' Huang said. 'Fiscal support looks to have continued to support infrastructure spending,' Huang added, but cautioned that 'a fading fiscal tailwind is likely to slow activity in the second half of the year.' More Stimulus Uncertainty also lingers among factory owners, as the business outlook index – which normally moves in line with the headline PMI – dropped in June and suggested producers were waiting on a more durable trade deal than the fragile framework agreed between Beijing and Washington earlier this month. That puts pressure on policymakers to roll out more support measures, as the government cannot afford for China's vast manufacturing sector to stagnate or shrink if its ambitious 2025 growth target of 'around 5%' is to be met. Profits at China's industrial firms swung sharply back into decline in May, which officials attributed to weak demand and falling industrial product prices. Policymakers are confident they can push ahead with reforms launched late last year to transition China's economy from a manufacturing-led model to a consumer-driven one, Premier Li Qiang told delegates at World Economic Forum and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank meetings last week. Such a shift in the engines of growth, which economists say is crucial to securing China's future, could be progressed while maintaining strong growth, Li said. But economists say the transition could take years, and that reform typically comes at the cost of a more subdued economy in the short term. 'Exports are expected to decelerate in the second half of the year, and domestic deflationary pressures will intensify,' said Dan Wang, China director at Eurasia Group, who expects more stimulus in the coming months. 'Household consumption cannot be a real short-term driver, but fiscal spending on things like infrastructure can deliver the kind of growth required to hit this year's target.'

CT Group Unveils Vietnamese-Designed IoT Chip In Strategic Semiconductor Push
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- Vietnam-based CT Group has launched its first locally designed Internet of Things (IoT) chip, marking a significant milestone in its 33rd anniversary celebration and the conclusion of its initial three-year plan within its second 30-year development phase. The chip, fully designed by the group's Vietnamese engineers using CMOS and III/V semiconductor technologies, was unveiled during a launch ceremony held on June 29 in Ho Chi Minh City, according to a statement. The group is setting up dedicated chip design houses to focus on artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, 5G/6G, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), defence applications, and sensor technologies while also developing customisable Intellectual Property (IP) cores and functional modules for System-on-a-Chip (SoC) applications, including Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), NPU, and DSP systems. While operating on a fabless model, CT Group is working to master photolithography technology and aims to achieve full vertical integration—from design to testing—by 2030. The company has called for government support to invest in advanced photolithography machinery. To support this vision, CT Semiconductor, a division under the group, is establishing three assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) plants; two research and development (R&D) centres in Vietnam; and customer care facilities in Silicon Valley and Phoenix, United States of America. The group's chip demand is backed by its smart city ecosystem, which integrates AI cameras, energy control modules, and monitoring systems. Additionally, its leadership in the UAV sector offers real-world testing opportunities for new chip technologies. CT Group benefits from a strong talent pipeline, working closely with top Vietnamese universities and international experts, including Vietnamese diaspora professionals, to support semiconductor workforce development. Its infrastructure advantage includes fully equipped research centres and production facilities that support chip packaging, testing, and commercialisation. The group is also committed to long-term investment in strategic chip areas such as telecommunications, AI, IoT, UAVs, and 5G/6G, aligning with Vietnam's national roadmap for semiconductor technology development.

Indonesia, China break ground on US$5.9b EV battery hub in West Java
JAKARTA, June 30 — The Indonesian government has officially launched the construction of an integrated facility for the production of electric vehicle batteries in the Karawang area of West Java. The project is being developed jointly with China and is estimated at US$5.9 billion (RM24.9 billion), according to the Jakarta Globe, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti. The project is expected to be one of the key steps towards turning Indonesia into a leading hub for the electric vehicle industry in South-east Asia. The construction is being carried out as part of a joint venture between state-owned mining company Aneka Tambang (Antam), the Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC), and a Chinese consortium led by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Limited (CATL), Brunp Recycling and Lygend Resources. The ceremony to launch the construction was led by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. The production cluster will be located on an area of 3,000 hectares and will create up to 8,000 jobs. The project also plans to implement 18 related infrastructure facilities, including the construction of a universal seaport. Commercial operation of the battery plant is scheduled to be launched in late 2026. — Bernama-Sputnik/RIANovosti
