China′s tech giants report huge gains from Spring Festival marketing blitz (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's “big tech” giants – including Alibaba Group Holding, ByteDance and Tencent Holdings – released preliminary figures showing impressive gains for their new flagship artificial intelligence offerings during this year's Spring Festival Gala marketing blitz.
While red packet giveaways and extensive advertising campaigns have been a fixture of past Lunar New Year holidays, this year's multi-billion-yuan competition surrounding a crop of new artificial intelligence products was so intense that......

US and China can again find common ground – in AI′s risks (SCMP)
|
|
|
I travelled to Zurich, Switzerland, last month to attend the Asia Leaders Series, a forum designed to foster candid exchange between Europe and Asia, offering policymakers, economists and business leaders a trusted setting to engage seriously with global challenges.
The event took place on the eve of the World Economic Forum meeting. I was asked to moderate a session on a topic that was hardly novel: US-China rivalry.
I approached the event with modest expectations. Strategic competition between......

China′s EV momentum slows as pricier batteries steer drivers to hybrids (SCMP)
|
|
|
Rising battery costs and a cooling car market are likely to tilt China's electric-vehicle race in favour of hybrids this year, as budget-conscious consumers turn away from fully electric models, analysts say.
Material cost inflation is expected to slow momentum for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), allowing plug-in hybrids to regain market share after years of rapid electrification in the world's largest car market.
“A loss of pure electric car sales can be expected this year due to consumers'......

Beijing Blasts Trump After US Releases New Details On Alleged 2020 Chinese Nuclear Test
Update: Despite the Lunar New Year holiday, Beijing has made it known it is not best pleased with Washington digging up Nuke blasts from the past.
Issuing a statement via state mouthpiece (@HuXijin_GT), the CCP suggested an ulterior motive for the timing of this announcement:
"Trump is eager to resume nuclear testing and needs a plausible reason, and accusing China of conducting nuclear tests is the perfect pretext.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Yeaw stated on Tuesday that the US is prepared to conduct low-yield nuclear tests in response to alleged secret nuclear tests by China and Russia.
The US is being far too hasty; having just fabricated rumors that China conducted an explosive nuclear test nearly six years ago, they are already announcing their own low-yield nuclear test.
Washington's motives for spreading these rumors are too clear; they can't even be bothered to feign it."

Chinese EVs Flood Europe, Signals Hollowing Out Of Bloc's Industrial Core
The rapid growth of China's electric vehicles on Europe's streets and highways isn't just a market share story. In fact, it's an industrial security threat for the bloc. When Chinese manufacturers undercut domestic car brands, the damage goes well beyond margin pressure and shuttered production lines. The much larger and alarming issue is the hollowing out of Europe's industrial core.
