Chinese carriers will reduce fuel surcharges on domestic passenger tickets sold from June 5, 2026. New rates: 150 yuan per adult on routes over 800 km and 80 yuan per adult on routes of 800 km or less—reductions of 20 yuan and 10 yuan respectively from previous levels. The change will partly lower passenger travel costs.

CPCA secretary-general Cui Dongshu said global auto sales in 2025 were 96.89 mln units, up 6% YoY. World sales in April 2026 were 7.99 mln, up 4% YoY; Jan–Apr 2026 totaled 30.96 mln, up 1% YoY. Early-year growth was weak as the US and China posted relative declines. China’s share of global auto sales fell to 30.9% in Jan–Apr 2026 from 35.4% in 2025, a decline Cui attributes largely to Spring Festival timing. He said policy stimulus effects are re-emerging and China’s auto market is expected to gradually strengthen from H2.
