China's national air quality monitoring network has revealed a rapid improvement in during the 2010s, which fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other priority pollutant levels fell, except for ozone, concurrently increased. However, recent changes economic outlook mean that future trajectory of is highly uncertain. Here we analyse last 10 years data to assess whether continued improve years. We find period steep negative trends PM2.5 observed 2014-2019 (-2.47 µg m-3 year-1) ended, slowing -0.18 year-1 2021-2024. Meanwhile, ozone increase 2021-2024, with trend 2.06 year-1. demonstrate population exposure China can be accurately constrained using only surface station data, use this estimate health impacts under three observationally-based scenarios. show current government reduction target insufficient sustain decrease PM2.5-attributed mortality was achieved 2014-2019, ∼2 times more ambitious needed offset effects ageing population.
