[Solid-State Battery: Nine Departments' 15th Five-Year Plan Incorporates Automotive Solid-State Batteries into Specialised Standards System, Accelerating Supply of Cutting-Edge Technology Standards] On 9 September 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and eight other departments issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry (MIIT Joint Regulation Letter [2026] No. 305). In the task of "continuously improving the standards system," the Plan specifies the ongoing establishment and refinement of specialised standards systems for automotive chips, automotive software, automotive artificial intelligence, automotive solid-state batteries, and low-carbon development of automobiles. In the task of "accelerating the supply of cutting-edge cross-disciplinary standards," it further proposes accelerating the formulation of frontier technology standards for automotive artificial intelligence, cockpit-driving integration, solid-state batteries, distributed electric drive, fully active suspension, integrated driving units, and chassis fusion control. The Plan does not establish a separate special clause for the industrialisation of solid-state batteries; the relevant arrangements primarily focus on standards taking the lead, providing regulatory support for subsequent technological breakthroughs and large-scale application.

【SMM Flash】DRC Mines Ministry Facilitates Return of Artisanal Miners to Mulondo Site Through Negotiated Arrangement

【DRC Mines Ministry Facilitates Artisanal Miners’ Return to Work at Mulondo】On November 2, DRC Minister of Mines Louis Watum Kabamba oversaw the resumption of work by members of the mining cooperative COMIKAN at the Mulondo site in the Mutshatsha area of Lualaba Province, about 42 km southeast of Kolwezi. Artisanal miners had been forced to leave and had been idle for more than a year after new operator PAJECLEM took over the concession previously operated by Chemaf. Following negotiations among the parties, PAJECLEM agreed to cede two mining blocks to COMIKAN’s miners to delineate each side’s working area and prevent land disputes. The minister inspected the site and gave guidance on the lawful, long-term coexistence of artisanal and industrial mining. The ministry described the move as a new step in its mining sector clean-up, which relies not only on regulation and enforcement but also on negotiated, practical solutions.
