Foreign, Hong Kong retailers close stores in mainland China amid changing dynamics (SCMP)
|
|
|
Mainland China's retail and retail property sectors have suffered another blow amid a fresh wave of store closures by foreign and Hong Kong brands.
“The series of closures come as a combined result of their outdated business models and profound changes in the macroeconomic environment,” said Wang Tianshi, an analyst at Shanghai-based LeadLeo Research Institute.
“Compared with emerging mainland retailers, Hong Kong and foreign brands often remain under a 'selling on the mainland' phase, rather......

How Hong Kong′s AI IPO surge supports China′s economic strategy (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong has started 2026 with a wave of IPOs driven by artificial intelligence (AI), led by the recent listing of Chinese chipmaker Biren Technology. Beyond the revival of market activity, the surge points to a clearer strategic direction.
China is increasingly using Hong Kong as an offshore capital platform for funding priority technologies – at a time when geopolitics is reshaping where innovation can be financed and how international capital can be accessed. This repositioning aligns......

BRICS Flexes With China-Led Joint Naval Drills Soon After Maduro Ousting
The multi-national "Will for Peace 2026" naval exercises began Saturday off the coast of Cape Town, hosted by South Africa, and is set to run for one week. It is widely being described as a BRICS and "BRICS+" naval drill and saw a Russian warship arrive off South Africa's primary naval base on Friday.
The Russians joined Chinese and Iranian vessels for the drills, along with other BRICS members Indonesia, Ethiopia and Brazil - which participated as observers. The nation heading up the drill is China, and it's being seen as an attempt of BRICS and Global South countries to flex their collective military might in the wake of the Trump-ordered ousting of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro. The other members of the bloc - India, Egypt and Saudi Arabia - are not represented at the drills.

It's Very Difficult To Believe China's Claim Of Mediating Between India & Pakistan
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
China is uniquely unqualified to mediate between them since it has territorial disputes with India and arms Pakistan to the teeth.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently claimed that his country mediated between India and Pakistan during last spring's clashes, but it's very difficult to believe that this actually happened.
Trump has repeatedly claimed the same despite India's denials, which greatly contributed to the deterioration of their ties over the past year. India's half-century-long position since the 1972 Simla Agreement has been that its problems with Pakistan are bilateral, ergo why it's always rejected mediation since then.
Nevertheless, India cannot prevent other countries' representatives from talking to Pakistan during bilateral crises, nor will it decline their calls after they've done so. Rather, it considers each pair of calls to be purely bilateral...

Changing tastes: China′s new affluent consumers seek quality not extravagance (SCMP)
|
|
|
In a premium supermarket in Shanghai one recent weekend, 33-year-old information technology specialist Zhao Wenyu paused in front of the health food aisle, comparing protein content and ingredient lists on imported granola and organic milk – rather than checking discounts.
Zhao now spends around 3,000 yuan (US$420) a month on organic food, nutritional supplements and functional beverages, up from about 1,200 yuan three years ago. “I don't mind paying more if I am satisfied with the product's......

Have investors missed the boat on Japan′s property market amid tensions with China? (SCMP)
|
|
|
Japan's property market was less likely to deliver significant rewards to investors because of heightened geopolitical tensions with China, more than a tightened monetary policy, according to analysts.
“The yield spread is likely to narrow as cap rates are unlikely to widen,” said Chinatsu Hani, head of research at Tokyo-based CBRE. “However, spreads should remain in positive territory.”
The Bank of Japan in March last year began unwinding its nearly decade-long negative interest rate policy –......

How the AI race could play out for the US, China and the world (SCMP)
|
|
|
The global artificial intelligence (AI) race remains one of the most hotly contested spheres of international competition. Few would bet today on an eventual winner, but current trends point to three possible scenarios that we should consider.
In the first scenario, the AI world is dominated by the US and China. While the US still has the technological edge, China is closing in fast and vies with the US for leadership on many of the key dimensions of AI prowess.
According to Stanford......
