China's tax refunds, as well as tax and fee cuts and deferrals reached 2.58 trillion yuan (about 384 billion U.S. dollars) from the beginning of this year to June 25, as the country unveiled a slew of supportive policies to ease enterprises' burden, official data showed Thursday.
Among the total, value-added tax credit refunds hit 1.83 trillion yuan, 2.8 times the annual amount of last year, while preferential tax and fee reduction policies helped companies save 285.9 billion yuan, Cai Zili, an official with the State Taxation Administration told a press conference.
The deferred payment of tax and fees during the period came in at 463.2 billion yuan, effectively helping enterprises increase their cash flows, Cai said.
Priorities have been given to small businesses as nearly 70 percent of the tax and fee support went to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
Last year, China's tax and fee reductions totaled more than 1 trillion yuan, according to this year's government work report.
Data from the administration also showed that China's economic recovery accelerated with the implementation of a package of pro-growth measures.
In May, sales revenue of Chinese enterprises logged a year-on-year increase of 1.9 percent. From June 1 to 25, the growth of enterprises' sales revenue was 6.8 percent, Cai said.

Important to factor in that the final assembly plant Airbus has in Tianjin, and that these new A320 orders will almost certainly be delivered from said facility. Not only is this good for the Chinese economy, it theoretically builds towards improving/strengthening Sino-EU relations.

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words.

Sinopec found another large shale gas field in Sichuan with 1.193 trillion cubic meter reserve.

On June 30, a 5756 meter deep shale gas well in Qijing, Chongqing (重庆綦江) reaches daily production of 530,000 cubic meters in trial. This confirms the gas reserve of the pertaining geological structure at the 100 billion cubic meter level. With it, the total reserve of this shale gas field has reached 1.193 trillion cubic meters. It becomes the second shale gas field at the trillion cubic meter level found by Sinopec.

本报讯 记者王孝祥 通讯员黄庆球报道:6月30日,记者从中国石化新闻办获悉,中国石化部署在重庆綦江的新页1井试获日产页岩气53万立方米,标志着新场构造落实千亿立方米资源量;至此,中国石化川东南盆缘复杂构造带“新场南—东溪—丁山—林滩场”形成整体连片,整体资源量达1.193万亿立方米,是中国石化继涪陵页岩气田后发现的第二个万亿立方米页岩气资源阵地,将为保障我国能源安全贡献重要力量。
新页1井完钻井深5756米,是勘探分公司部署在重庆綦江区新场构造的深层页岩气风险探井。新场构造在地质上属于川东南盆缘复杂构造带。此前研究表明,该构造带超深层页岩气有利面积大、资源量大,是中国石化页岩气增储上产的重要领域。
中国石化在2012年涪陵页岩气田取得重大勘探突破后,将目光转向川东南盆缘复杂构造带,成立深层页岩气技术攻关组,持续开展深层页岩气目标评价等技术攻关研究,形成了深层页岩气体积压裂技术,实现了优质页岩钻遇率100%,压裂装备、工具及材料全部实现国产化,大幅降低施工成本。2019年,取得深层页岩气勘探战略性突破。此后,进一步推进深层页岩气勘探,落实了万亿立方米页岩气资源阵地。

Numbers look a lot better now, I hope growth will be even better going forward as Europe and other countries suffering higher production cost presents a good opportunity to take more factory orders and market share.
The Caixin manufacturing PMI, which puts more weight on private, medium, and small business, performs even better than the national manufacturing PMI. This pretty much turns the narrative that "the U.S. will outperform China in 2022" on its head. For the U.S., it may enter a recession before the EU does at this point.

A massive "fuck you" to Boeing and the US.... and considering what happened recently over Guangxi.

Three Chinese airlines to purchase nearly 300 Airbus aircraft

Three state-owned airlines - China Southern, Air China and China Eastern - announced on Friday a deal with France-based Airbus to buy 292 aircraft valued at around $37 billion in total.

It is the second time China has signed such a big deal since Chinese leaders visited Europe in March 2019, when Airbus signed a deal worth tens of billions of dollars to sell 300 aircraft to China.

In spite of disagreements between China and Europe from time to time in political areas, the economic and trade ties remain tight and are mutually beneficial, Chinese observers said.

China Southern Airlines said it has signed a deal for 96 A320NEO aircraft worth a total of around $12.25 billion.

Hours later, Air China announced a deal for 96 A320NEO aircraft worth around $12.21 billion. China Eastern Airlines announced a deal for 100 A320NEO aircraft priced at around $12.79 billion.

The carriers said the new orders, which are expected to be delivered from 2024, will help increase their flying capacity and meet the renewal needs as older aircraft are retired.

China Southern said the aircraft will increase the group's flying capacity by 13 percent, and Air China said the deal will help increase flying capacity by 10.4 percent.

"It is a release of years of pent-up demand," market watcher Qi Qi told the Global Times on Friday, adding that the big purchase shows China's market potential and also the airlines' confidence in the recovery of the Chinese aviation market.

Although the aircraft will be delivered within four to five years, the deal will barely be enough to meet the demand, said Lin Zhijie, another market watcher.

It is a necessary move given China's colossal civil aviation market, Cui Hongjian, director of the Department of European Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, told the Global Times on Friday.

The European economy has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and the on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict, so the order represents good news, Cui said, adding that China and Europe have formed a good cooperative foundation in the civil aviation industry.

In May this year, top leaders from China and France held a phone conversation discussing cooperation in traditional fields, and the two sides agreed to enhance exchanges in nuclear energy, aerospace, artificial intelligence and clean energy.

Boeing, the main competitor for Airbus, has struggled to win a big order from China recently. The last large deal was in November 2017 when China signed a purchase deal with Boeing for 300 aircraft. It came when US President Donald Trump visited China, and the order value was more than $37 billion.

Since then, Sino-US relations have become more complicated and Boeing also lost confidence in the market due to crashes. Its best-selling B737 MAX has so far failed to return to service in China and has not received new orders. There have been some small orders, such as in May 2022, when China Eastern said it would introduce 38 aircraft, including four Boeing 787s.

Airbus told the Global Times on Friday that it now has a market share of 53 percent. In 1995, its market share in China was only 9 percent.

Cui said China's civil aviation market remains open and Chinese airlines' cooperation with Boeing and Airbus has remained generally balanced as far, but it needs to be pointed out that the devastating plane crashes involving B737 jets have undermined the market's confidence toward the plane maker.

The world's two largest aircraft manufacturing giants, Boeing and Airbus, respectively released their 2021 aircraft delivery transcripts.

Airbus delivered a total of 611 commercial aircraft to 88 customers last year, an increase of 8 percent from 2020, maintaining its position as the world's largest aircraft manufacturer for the third consecutive year.

Boeing delivered 340 planes, about half as many as Airbus, but also recorded a significant increase compared to 2020, up 117 percent year-on-year.

With the gradual lifting of the 737MAX flight ban globally, deliveries of the 737 series have rebounded significantly, but the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has been hit by manufacturing problems and delayed deliveries.
