Reading, by audience

Risk and trade policyPolicy output on batteries and storage is slowing relative to the rest of the corpus (48 documents in 24 months, in 16 provinces). China exported $76.8bn of these goods in 2025, +34% a year since 2019; 38% went to the EU-27 (+47% a year). From the EU side, China supplied 90% of the EU's imports of these goods from outside the EU in 2025 (+42 points since 2019). In the EU, the gap between the unit value of imports from China and other suppliers' widened from -30% in 2023 to -43% in 2025, while China's volume changed +87% against +19% for the rest: a pointer to price pressure (unit values mix qualities), not a measure of undercutting. No EU countervailing case held on these goods.
Compliance and legal3 of 97 documents (3%) carry a provision or condition that favours local or Chinese firms or production, 2 naming foreign-owned firms as the ones disadvantaged. 1 sector measures come into force and 6 expire in the next 12 months.
Investors20 documents (21%) carry a fiscal or financial support measure. 78 firms are named on lists in these documents. Listed groups report government grants: BYD RMB 12,634m (2025); Ganfeng Lithium RMB 359m (2025).
ResearchSector set: 94 documents whose title names the sector, plus 23 in its topic tree (97 together). Measures and preference are keyword and model screens: leads to check against the text. Momentum is relative to the corpus, which reduces but does not remove the effect of uneven collection.
