China's Communist Party Politburo met on July 30 and scheduled the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee for October in Beijing; the agenda includes the Politburo reporting to the Central Committee and studying measures to sustain comprehensive strict party governance. The meeting reviewed the current economic situation and deployed economic work for H2. Xi presided.

NBS Service Industry Survey Center chief statistician Huo Lihui said July price indices continued to decline. The purchase-price index for major raw materials was 53.2 and the factory-gate price index 47.8, both down for a fourth month amid recent commodity-price volatility. Price indices for non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling were both below 45.0. Large price swings weakened firms’ procurement intent, pulling the purchasing-volume index down to 49.4.
