Beijing Extends 2026 Auto Trade-In Subsidy Application Deadline to Jan 10, 2027

The extension signals that Beijing is prioritizing uptake of the trade-in program over a hard calendar cutoff, likely to avoid leaving allocated funds unused or to accommodate applicants still working through paperwork. The conditional clause — funds running out could still close the window early — means the deadline is softer than it appears, and the separate correction window adds a compliance step applicants must clear. Whether applications accelerate toward the new cutoff, or funds are exhausted before it, is the open question worth watching.
