BYD unveiled its ultra-luxury Yangwang Dingyao sedan in Abu Dhabi, alongside a limited "Shanhe Dingyun" edition with a brown-and-jade colour scheme and a 300,000 yuan deposit. The launch signals BYD's push into the executive flagship segment.
AI server demand is pulling DRAM and HBM capacity away from phones, driving up memory costs. For China's minor handset makers, already thin on profit, the squeeze may be fatal — Meizu has already paused its own hardware.
China now retires roughly 9.8 million vehicles a year, and the country's steelmakers are moving into dismantling and recycling them. The shift turns a scrapyard business into a hunt for usable steel, parts and materials.
A wave of Chinese carmakers — Li Auto, Xiaomi, Leapmotor, Xpeng — now advertise self-developed batteries. The fight is not over who makes the cells, but over who controls the pack, the software and the margin.
Leshan Airport in Sichuan is preparing to open as a 4C-grade facility designed for 2 million passengers by 2030, while Zaozhuang's Yiyun Airport also nears operation. The buildout reflects a broader reshuffling of China's smaller-city aviation map.
A Chinese pharmaceutical company that pivoted toward computing power is selling idle assets to book a one-off gain of about 55 million yuan. The move buys time while its computing business moves from signed contracts to actual operations.
Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso merged into Archion in April and now face Chinese heavy-truck brands together, leaning on about 3,700 global sales and service points. Chinese makers went from near zero to roughly 40% of Indonesia's heavy-truck market in four years.
Transsion, the Shenzhen phone maker that conquered Africa's low-end market, is now squeezed by rising memory chip prices. It is leaning on stockpiles, a weak Hong Kong listing and a costly pivot into AI to hold its ground.
Chinese theme parks are competing for scare actors and immersive Halloween sets, with one Chengdu park deploying over 400 performers and staying open until midnight. The push shows how seasonal live entertainment has become a battleground for visitor numbers.
TrendForce forecasts server CPU shipments will rise 31% in 2026 and more than 40% in 2027 as AI agents shift data-center spending from accelerator cards toward balanced compute racks.
A Shanghai Star Market survey shows 24 of 49 listed optical communication companies grew third-quarter net profit by more than 50%, driven by AI computing and data-center demand for high-speed optical links.
A new embodied-AI data center in Hangzhou aims to replace slow human-operated collection with simulation, claiming it can produce in a month what the industry took two years to gather. The pitch reframes robot training capacity as a computing problem rather than a labor problem.
Westlake University has opened a world model research center in Hangzhou, aimed at the physical intelligence bottlenecks behind robotics and embodied AI. It pairs an academic lab with a founder of an AI startup, a model increasingly common in Chinese AI research.
