A reporter asked: The U.S. Trade Representative stated on October 14 that the U.S. might impose 100% tariffs on goods imported from China as early as November 1, depending on China's next steps in the rare earth dispute. What is China's response to this? Lin Jian said: The competent authority of China has clarified its position on the export control policy of rare earths. China implements export controls on relevant items in accordance with the law to better maintain world peace and stability, fulfill international obligations like non-proliferation, and this is consistent with international practices. China's stance has been consistent and clear. It is the U.S. that talks while simultaneously threatening and intimidating with high tariffs and new restrictions; this is not the right way to engage with China. We urge the U.S. to correct its mistakes promptly and resolve the relevant issues through dialogue and negotiation based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit.

Ministry of Commerce Responds to China’s WTO Complaint Against India's Electric Vehicle and Battery Subsidy Measures On October 15, the Ministry of Commerce reported that China requested consultations with India in the WTO regarding India's subsidy measures for electric vehicles and batteries. India’s related measures allegedly violate multiple obligations regarding national treatment and constitute import substitution subsidies prohibited by the WTO. These measures confer an unfair competitive advantage to Indian domestic industries, harming China’s interests. China will take resolute measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic industries. The spokesperson noted that recent trade measures taken by India have drawn widespread attention from WTO members due to suspected violations. We urge India to adhere to its commitments within the WTO and promptly rectify its erroneous practices. Major Data Released! Social Financing Increases Over 30 Trillion, M1-M2 "Scissors Difference" Hits Yearly Low The latest financial statistics have been released. On October 15, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) published its financial statistics report for the first three quarters of 2025. In the first three quarters of 2025, China’s RMB loans increased by 14.75 trillion yuan, RMB deposits rose by 22.71 trillion yuan, and the total social financing scale exceeded 30.09 trillion yuan. As of the end of September, the balance of RMB loans was 270.39 trillion yuan, the broad money (M2) balance was 335.38 trillion yuan, and the total social financing stock stood at 437.08 trillion yuan, reflecting an 8.7% year-on-year increase. Overall, China's loan scale maintained reasonable growth, with credit structure ongoing optimization. From indicators like year-on-year growth rate of stock social financing and M2, it appears that current monetary policy is effectively adjusting in a countercyclical manner. Analysts suggest that there is ample space for somewhat accommodative monetary policy, alleviating concerns of high inflation too early.

Domestic Semiconductor Equipment Breaks Through Collectively The "new surprises" from Xinkailai are not lithography machines but new-generation ultra-high-speed real-time oscilloscopes and domestic EDA software showcased by its subsidiary. On October 15, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area Semiconductor Industry Ecological Expo (referred to as "Bay Chip Expo") opened in Shenzhen. Securities Times reporters learned on-site that Xinkailai exhibited 16 types of equipment products, including film deposition and etching equipment, although no new products were launched during their exhibition. Meanwhile, its subsidiary, Wanlianyan, introduced a new generation of ultra-high-speed real-time oscilloscopes, with another subsidiary, Qiyunfang, launching two types of domestic EDA design software. It is understood that the domestic semiconductor equipment sector is currently breaking into market share through a "group breakthrough" strategy, with many companies adopting multi-product line layouts to form an "army-style combat system," allowing for a multi-point explosion that disrupts overseas equipment's systemic monopoly and accelerates the localization process of semiconductor equipment. 【Industry Hot Spots】 Northbound Capital Increases Holdings in Electronics Sector by 23% in Q3 More than 5% of A-share Companies Trading Below Book Value, 46 Stocks Undervalued with Good Performance Quantum Technology Continues to Strengthen in October with Significant Increases in Financing for Concept Stocks Institutions Intensively Research Apple Supply Chain Companies Solid-State Battery Materials Achieve Several Key Breakthroughs, Accelerating Industrialization 【Market Dynamics】 A-shares: On October 15, the three major A-share indices rose collectively.

In the upcoming period, advantageous sectors will continue to be a vital variable guiding market structure. According to research from Industrial Securities, since September, most industries experiencing upward adjustments in profit expectations are concentrated in: AI (games, computer equipment, communication equipment, components), advanced manufacturing (motorcycles, aerospace equipment, domestic appliance components, batteries, medical services), cyclical industries (non-ferrous, glass fiber, steel, agricultural chemical products), consumer sectors (beverages, dairy products, agriculture, jewelry), and finance (brokerages, insurance, city commercial banks). Conversely, sectors that have seen relatively low gains since September are concentrated in advanced manufacturing, consumption, cyclical, AI computing power, and finance. Zhongyuan Securities asserts that due to the low base last year, it is anticipated that most industries will witness a rebound in profit growth in this year’s third-quarter reports, further bolstering market confidence. Household savings are gradually shifting towards capital markets, forming a consistent influx of incremental funds. The market is set to breed new investment opportunities during fluctuations, with suggested focus on seizing opportunities in the A-share market during structural optimization. 【New Stock Subscription】 None 【Announcement Express】 【Hot Topics】 Sanhua Intelligent Control: Rumors of Receiving Large Robot Orders Are Not Factual 【Performance】 Tailin Microelectronics: Net profit for the first three quarters expected to increase by 118% year-on-year, with explosive growth in AI products on the client side.
