Tech giants are racing to build orbital data centers, betting that space-based computing can solve AI's growing energy and cooling constraints. For chipmakers, space represents a new growth market beyond Earth's crowded terrestrial facilities.
BYD's ultra-luxury Yangwang U9X recorded 503.17 km/h, the first time a production car has broken the 500 km/h barrier. The run underlines how Chinese automakers are using electric drive and vehicle engineering to chase performance records once owned by European brands.
China's car repair industry is shifting its attention from quick oil changes to high-margin chassis work like brakes and shock absorbers, as a new industry report lays out the profit gap between routine service and deeper repairs.
BMW Brilliance has begun a staffing cut across three Shenyang plants, with departing workers estimating 1,800 to 2,000 P-class production roles affected and a severance package of N+5 months. The move lands as foreign joint-venture carmakers lose ground in China's fast-shifting market.
Volvo's plug-in hybrid XC70 is now landing below 200,000 yuan at Beijing dealerships, with sales staff saying each sale loses more than 20,000 yuan. The discount narrows the gap between the XC70 and the petrol XC60 to a level that unsettles the brand's own lineup.
Photos of China's first all-electric passenger aircraft, the COMAC CE-25A, have surfaced online, showing ten battery-powered ducted fans on its wings. The full-scale demonstrator has drawn mockery as well as interest, raising questions about whether electric aviation is a serious path or an expensive detour.
Domestic brands now command nearly three-quarters of China's car market, and the foreign joint ventures that once dominated are being forced into painful self-rescue plans. Toyota and Audi are among those rewriting strategy as the old playbook stops working.
Xingyu, China's largest car-lamp supplier, said third-quarter profit fell 39.6% and revenue 8.67% as pressure from the passenger-car market moved down the supply chain. The firm also cut 107 graduate hires, a sign that cost discipline now reaches into components.
October delivery figures reshuffle China's new-energy carmakers, with Leapmotor holding the 100,000-a-month lead while Xpeng and Xiaomi pass 50,000. Analysts say overseas sales, not domestic volume, now separate winners from the rest as former leaders slip.
BYD reported October sales of 490,200 new energy vehicles, with overseas volume doubling year on year. Battery-electric sales rose 37.38% while plug-in hybrids fell 17.22%, and ten-month totals slipped 2.16% to 3.62 million.
CATL used Australia's All-Energy 2026 show to pitch energy storage as a long-term, asset-backed service rather than a box of cells, raising the bar for what a battery vendor must guarantee. The shift matters for a market where renewables already dominate generation.
