Earlier this month, China outlined its first mandatory standards for autonomous driving systems, setting requirements for vehicles that feature level 3 (L3) and level......

Chinese optical-module stocks rebound as analysts downplay ′mild′ AI curbs proposed by US (SCMP)
|
|
|
Shares of China's leading optical-module makers clawed back early losses on Wednesday after analysts downplayed the impact of proposed US restrictions that could block the firms from future American AI data centres.
They noted that the rules would likely leave current supply chains intact and face significant hurdles because of America's heavy reliance on Chinese manufacturing.

China′s home-grown DUV progress not the biggest threat to ASML, analysts say (SCMP)
|
|
|
Western anxiety over a potential breakthrough in Chinese chipmaking gear may be rising, but home-grown machines are not the greatest threat facing industry leader ASML, according to analysts.
The Dutch firm's shares fell more than 8 per cent at one point on Monday in the US before closing down 5.8 per cent, after The Information reported that China had begun manufacturing home-grown immersion deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines through a state-backed company in Shanghai.

Kupfer: Hohe Prämie für Chinas Kupferimporte, aber robuste Produktion (SG)
|
|
|
Die Prämie auf Kupferimporte im chinesischen Hafen von Yangshan hat in den letzten Monaten kräftig angezogen: Sie beläuft sich laut der Researchgruppe Shanghai Metals Market aktuell auf gut 100 USD; im Januar hatte sie lediglich bei 20 USD gelegen. Das ist in der Regel ein Hinweis auf eine starke Kupfernachfrage in China. Zur Knappheit trägt aber momentan auch bei, dass das Angebot an Kupferschrott in China aufgrund neuer Steuerregelungen gering sei. Derweil waren die chinesischen Produktionszahlen für Kupfer abermals gut: Im Juni wurden laut Statistikbehörde 1,334 Mio. Tonnen Kupferraffinade produziert, 4,4% mehr als im Vorjahr und etwas mehr als im bisherigen Rekordhoch. Hohe Preise für die als Nebenprodukt entstehende Schwefelsäure kompensieren offensichtlich für negative Verarbeitungsmargen..
