The "618" sales extravaganza in the first half of this year is in high gear, yet news has surfaced from various regions regarding the suspension or adjustment of the "national subsidy" for household appliance trade-ins. On June 5, a reporter from The Paper was informed by the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce that Chongqing has temporarily halted the "national subsidy" for household appliance trade-ins and will await the release of pertinent documents and policies in the future. It is understood that this suspension is attributed to the exhaustion of the initial round of subsidy funds.
