Liaoning provincial flood-control command said it has issued orange alerts for all cities and the Shenfu Demonstration Area and activated a Level II flood emergency response effective 15:00 on July 13, citing latest weather forecasts and current hydrological, rainfall and operational conditions under the provincial flood and drought emergency plan.

Quarter-beginning tax payments and a rise in government bond net redemptions are set to tighten liquidity this week. July tax receipts historically run about RMB1.7–1.9 trillion (2021–25); government bond net repayments have risen to RMB568.7 billion, producing a combined funding shortfall exceeding RMB2.2 trillion. The PBOC is likely to step up reverse-repo injections to cushion money markets; a RMB900 billion six‑month buyout reverse repo matures this week, leaving scope for net injection. Overnight reverse repos may be reintroduced to smooth short-term volatility—the tool was used at quarter-end on June 29–30 (RMB300 billion and RMB600 billion) to blunt rate spikes.

National Pipe Network Group said a domestic first trial of sequentially transporting fuel methanol through a long-haul refined-oil pipeline was successfully completed in Xianyang, Shaanxi. Two test sets covering high- and low-flow regimes and start-up/shutdown conditions validated the process adaptability for sequential methanol batching across complex terrain and multiple operating modes. The group's research institute director Zhang Duìhong said the trial provides an engineering basis for routine, large-scale methanol transport and underpins future construction of a west-to-east methanol transport corridor.
