The notice calls for enterprises to conduct self-inspections and rectifications. Local industry and information technology authorities are required to organize key road motor vehicle manufacturers within their jurisdictions to conduct comprehensive self-inspections and rectifications against the requirements for market access management and key rectification issues. This includes systematically identifying problems in the consistency, reliability, durability, and new technology testing and verification of products produced by the enterprises themselves and key component suppliers, diligently carrying out rectification work, comprehensively strengthening supply chain management, and enhancing the ability to ensure production consistency. Enterprises should submit their self-inspection and rectification reports to local industry and information technology authorities by the end of December 2026. For any defects discovered, enterprises should promptly file recall plans with the State Administration for Market Regulation and proactively implement recalls. Local industry and information technology authorities are required to fulfill their local responsibilities, urging and guiding local enterprises to strengthen the testing and verification of radical innovative designs for automotive products, fully assess safety risks, and prudently promote the application of new technologies in vehicles.On August 27th, the General Offices of four departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued a notice on launching a special campaign to improve the consistency and quality of road motor vehicle products. The notice stated that the campaign will focus on addressing four key issues: consistency, reliability, durability, and testing and verification of new technologies in road motor vehicle products. Regarding durability, key issues to be addressed include the design lifespan and R&D cycle of new vehicles manufactured by vehicle manufacturers. Regarding testing and verification of new technologies, key issues to be addressed include: 1. Whether the innovative design of new products adequately assesses risks such as user habits, misoperation risks, and extreme usage scenarios, and whether marketing claims are consistent with reality. 2. Whether new materials and structures pose risks such as product defects and fatigue failure. 3. Whether the testing and verification of driving assistance and autonomous driving functions in product combinations are adequate, whether data security and network security protection for products and cloud platforms are sufficient, whether artificial intelligence security protection is adequate, whether there are any risks, whether planning, construction, and use are synchronized, and whether logs for incident investigations are complete.On August 27th, Politico reported that tech companies have launched an intensive lobbying effort to persuade the Trump administration to scale back the anticipated chip tariffs, bringing them closer to the tariff plan announced by Trump earlier this year. This policy grants broad exemptions for data centers and other domestic uses, thus limiting the tariffs impact. Lobbies argue that the tariffs will make it harder for U.S. companies to obtain the quantities of semiconductors needed for the booming development of artificial intelligence, thereby slowing the expansion of data centers. At this time, U.S. tech giants are investing in AI at a record scale, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into large data center campuses and snapping up expensive, cutting-edge chips needed to run these data centers. "This is probably the dumbest way I can think of to pursue U.S. AI dominance," said a tech industry official from a major industry association who served in Trumps first administration. "Its like crippling yourself at the starting line."On August 27th, the General Offices of four departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued a notice on launching a special campaign to improve the consistency and quality of road motor vehicle production. The notice emphasizes strengthening publicity and guidance. It calls for organizing a special campaign to promote the upward development of Chinese automotive brands, holding joint brand events such as "Seeing Chinese Cars," focusing on the technology, quality, and service levels of Chinese automakers, telling the stories of Chinese automotive brands, and enhancing their influence. It also calls for researching and establishing standardized, open, fair, and traceable guidelines for third-party evaluation activities in the automotive industry. The notice further emphasizes the need to continuously rectify online chaos in the automotive industry and severely crack down on exaggerated and false advertising. Finally, it stresses strengthening the release of authoritative and professional information, publicly reporting problematic road motor vehicle manufacturers and testing institutions, drawing clear "red lines" and upholding "bottom lines" for the industry, resolutely deterring irrational competition, and guiding the industry to improve product consistency and quality and safety levels.
