China's services sector activity expanded at the slowest pace in eight months, with confidence hitting a four-year low in June. The Caixin/S&P Global services PMI dropped to 51.2 from 54.0 in May, the lowest since October 2023 but still in expansion territory. Slower growth in new orders suggests a need for more economic stimulus to reach a growth target of 5%. Business confidence levels dropped, and service providers scaled back hiring. However, lower inflation rates for input and output prices offered some relief. The composite PMI, covering both services and manufacturing, also decreased, with attention now turning to potential reforms at a leadership meeting in July.

In an exclusive report on July 2, 2024, it was revealed that Taroko National Park, severely affected by the 0403 Hualien earthquake, suffered an estimated carbon sink loss of approximately 3,821 tons based on satellite imagery. Apart from repairing damaged public facilities in the park, efforts will be made to increase carbon sequestration in national parks and wetlands to offset the loss. The focus will be on restoring natural carbon sink functions through geologically assessing new landslide areas for suitable reforestation. National parks, wetlands, and coastlines are crucial areas for Taiwan's 2050 net zero transition, serving as vital blue carbon sources and restoration bases. Initiatives include comprehensive wetland carbon sink investigations and biodiversity-centric carbon accounting to develop strategies for carbon reduction and increased carbon sequestration.
