The Third China International Supply Chain Expo Concludes in Beijing
Since its launch, the CISCE has steadily expanded its global reach and stakeholder engagement. This year's expo welcomed 651 companies from China and 74 other countries and regions, with international exhibitors accounting for 35%—a record high. Notably, U.S. companies comprised the largest share of international participants, representing a 15% increase from the previous year. More than 65% of exhibitors were Fortune Global 500 firms or recognized industry leaders, including Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang attended for three consecutive days, describing the Chinese supply chain as "a miracle."
The third CISCE featured the unveiling of 152 new products, technologies, and services, a 67% increase compared to the previous edition. Of these, 55 made their debut at the CISCE Global Unveiling event. Exhibitors engaged with over 42,000 upstream and downstream businesses. Preliminary data indicate that more than 6,000 agreements and partnership intentions were formalized during the expo.
Looking ahead, the Alliance of Chinese and Foreign Exhibitors will partner with the China Chamber of International Commerce and its industry committees to offer ongoing support to domestic and international companies, with the goal of developing a continuous engagement model around CISCE programming.
CISCE also launched a model for a "Zero-Carbon Expo," demonstrating leadership in sustainable event practices. The entire venue operated on 100% renewable electricity, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1,100 tons. The initiative reflects CISCE's commitment to serving as a model for environmentally responsible, carbon-neutral, and plastic-free industry gatherings. Both Chinese and international participants showcased Sustainable Lighthouse Factory projects, providing practical CISCE-driven solutions to advance sustainability across global supply chains.
Now recognized as a key forum within the global supply chain landscape, CISCE continues to attract growing interest. On the final day, 102 companies and organizations signed agreements to participate in the next edition—representing a 50% year-over-year increase in on-site registrations.

Auto Review retracts timeline on China's used car crackdown
SHANGHAI, China: A leading Chinese automotive industry publication has walked back claims that regulators plan to ban the resale of cars within six months of their registration—a move that would have directly targeted the controversial "zero-mileage" used car market. Auto Review, the official media outlet of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), issued a correction after previously reporting that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) was preparing to impose a six-month resale ban. In a statement to Reuters, Auto Review acknowledged the article "contained inaccurate descriptions related to the MIIT and other relevant authorities concerning zero-mileage used cars." The outlet said those inaccuracies had been removed and corrected. The updated version of the article now states that MIIT is working with other agencies to "regulate the zero-mileage used cars" and manage the issue at its source, without mentioning a specific timeline or resale ban. Auto Review had also previously reported that the China Automobile Dealers Association had proposed a new code system for used car exports. That line was revised to say the group had proposed to "set up a relevant mechanism," again without further detail. The article—originally posted on the publication's official WeChat account—retained parts of the original reporting, including mentions that automakers such as Chery and BYD are among those considering more vigorous enforcement against dealers who register vehicles before actual sales occur. Zero-mileage used cars are a growing feature of China's intensely competitive auto market. The practice involves registering and insuring unsold new vehicles to inflate reported sales numbers. These lightly used vehicles are then resold at a discount, creating confusion in the market and distorting actual demand. The tactic has flourished amid a prolonged price war and persistent overcapacity in China's auto sector, particularly in the electric vehicle segment. In response, signs of a potential government clampdown have emerged in recent weeks. A Communist Party-affiliated newspaper sharply criticized the practice in June. China's State Council pledged last week to rein in what it called "irrational" competition in the domestic electric vehicle industry. While the corrected article signals a more cautious regulatory approach than initially reported, industry watchers still see mounting pressure from Beijing to curb manipulative sales strategies and restore balance in the sector.

Flurry of trade deals offers relief for some Asian countries, while others wait
BANGKOK (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced trade deals with Japan and a handful of other Asian countries that will relieve some pressure on companies and consumers from sharply higher tariffs on their exports to the United States. A deal with China is under negotiation, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying an Aug. 12 deadline might be postponed again to allow more time for talks. Steep tariffs on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum remain, however, and many other countries, including South Korea and Thailand, have yet to clinch agreements. Overall, economists say the tariffs inevitably will dent growth in Asia and the world. The deals reached so far, ahead of Trump's Aug. 1 deadline Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced a deal Wednesday that will impose 15% tariffs on U.S. imports from Japan, down from Trump's proposed 25% 'reciprocal' tariffs. It was a huge relief for automakers like Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda, whose shares jumped by double digits in Tokyo. Trump also announced trade deals with the Philippines and Indonesia. After meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., Trump said the import tax on products from his country would be subject to a 19% tariff, down just 1% from the earlier threat of a 20% tariff. Indonesia also will face a 19% tariff, down from the 32% rate Trump had recently said would apply, and it committed to eliminating nearly all of its trade barriers for imports of American goods. Earlier, Trump announced that Vietnam's exports would face a 20% tariff, with double that rate for goods transshipped from China, though there has been no formal announcement. Talks with China may be extended Negotiations with China are subject to an Aug. 12 deadline, but it's likely to be extended, Bessent told Fox Business on Tuesday. He said the two sides were due to hold another round of talks, this time in Sweden, early next week. Meanwhile, Trump said a trip to China may happen soon, hinting at efforts to stabilize U.S.-China trade relations. A preliminary agreement announced in June paved the way for China to lift some restrictions on its exports of rare earths, minerals critical for high technology and other manufacturing. In May, the U.S. agreed to drop Trump's 145% tariff rate on Chinese goods to 30% for 90 days, while China agreed to lower its 125% rate on U.S. goods to 10%. The reprieve allowed companies more time to rush to try to beat the potentially higher tariffs, giving a boost to Chinese exports and alleviating some of the pressure on its manufacturing sector. But prolonged uncertainty over what Trump might do has left companies wary about committing to further investment in China. No deals yet for South Korea and other Asian countries Pressure is mounting on some countries in Asia and elsewhere as the Aug. 1 deadline for striking deals approaches. Trump sent letters, posted on Truth Social, outlining higher tariffs some countries will face if they fail to reach agreements. He said they'd face even higher tariffs if they retaliate by raising their own import duties. South Korea's is set at 25%. Imports from Myanmar and Laos would be taxed at 40%, Cambodia and Thailand at 36%, Serbia and Bangladesh at 35%, South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina at 30% and Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Tunisia at 25%. The status of talks with India remains unclear but progress appears to hinge on the country's heavily protected farm sector. It faces a 26% tariff. Nearly every country has faced a minimum 10% levy on goods entering the U.S. since April, on top of other sectoral levies. Economists expect tariffs to sap growth even with trade deals Even after Trump has pulled back from the harshest of his threatened tariffs, the onslaught of uncertainty and higher costs for both manufacturers and consumers has raised risks for the regional and global economy. Economists have been downgrading their estimates for growth in 2025 and beyond. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The Asian Development Bank said Wednesday it had cut its growth estimate for economies in developing Asia and the Pacific to 4.7% in 2025 and 4.6% in 2026, down 0.2 percentage points and 0.1 percentage points. The outlook for the region could be further dimmed by an escalation of tariffs and trade friction, it said. 'Other risks include conflicts and geopolitical tensions that could disrupt global supply chains and raise energy prices,' as well as a deterioration in China's ailing property market. Economists at AMRO were less optimistic, expecting growth for Southeast Asia and other major economies in Asia at 3.8% in 2025 and 3.6% next year. While countries in the region have moved to protect their economies from Trump's trade shock, they face significant uncertainties, said AMRO's chief economist, Dong He. 'Uneven progress in tariff negotiations and the potential expansion of tariffs to additional products could further disrupt trade activities and weigh on growth for the region,' he said.
