CITIC Securities Research Report said that the Politburo meeting held on December 9, 2024 once again made it clear that expanding domestic demand is the key policy direction for the coming year, "expanding domestic demand in all directions" and "vigorously boosting consumption", expressing positive and igniting market expectations. After experiencing a rapid rebound in September, the consumer sector generally pulled back in October-November because the short-term consumption data has not yet reflected the effectiveness of the policy and the policy strength in the coming year is unclear. We believe that as the Spring Festival approaches, the top-down emphasis on domestic demand and policy expectations are heating up, and consumption is expected to usher in a new round of rebound and repair. On the policy side, in addition to the "trade-in policy", we believe that there is still a package of consumption promotion toolboxes available, such as subsidies for first-time car buyers, maternity subsidies, and the issuance of state-subsidized catering and tourism coupons. We suggest that the consumption allocation should be progressive from both offensive and defensive to flexible varieties, with both offensive and defensive features: consumer Internet, dairy products with low valuation and high return, mass catering, etc., and flexibility: catering supply chain, alcohol, human resources services, hotels, etc., with obvious pro-cyclical characteristics, considering the consumption allocation demand driven by expectations first.In the first 11 months of science and technology innovation board, the number of 13 new shares issued dropped significantly year-on-year.

Wei Shaojun, China Semiconductor Industry Association: We should vigorously develop chip design technology that does not depend on advanced technology. Wei Shaojun, chairman of the Integrated Circuit Design Branch of China Semiconductor Industry Association, said today that with the closure of chip design enterprises in China by external advanced processing resources, the manufacturing technologies that can be used by chip design enterprises in China are no longer as rich as before, and it is necessary to pay attention to the design technology that does not depend on advanced technology in technological innovation.
