China Has Officially Overtaken Tesla In The Global EV Race
Chinese automakers, led by BYD, are rapidly reshaping the global electric-vehicle market and challenging long-established brands such as Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW—and even Tesla, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Once dismissed by Western buyers, Chinese EVs are now gaining wide acceptance. “These Chinese cars look fantastic,” one shopper said while browsing a BYD model in London, reflecting a broader shift in perception.
BYD has emerged as the most powerful symbol of China's rise in electric vehicles. The company replaced Tesla as the world's biggest EV seller and delivered more than one million vehicles outside China in 2025—more than double the previous year. China, meanwhile, surpassed Japan in 2023 to become the world's largest auto exporter, shipping more than seven million vehicles last year.
“BYD wants to become one of the most relevant players in Europe, and in a very short period,” said Alfredo Altavilla, an ...

From labs to listings: US-China AI race makes capital markets the new battleground (SCMP)
|
|
|
The US-China tech rivalry is no longer confined to the laboratories, fabs and boardrooms of the industry's biggest names – the artificial intelligence battlefield has now expanded into the capital markets, where ambition is priced in real time.
As Washington and Beijing push rival technology ecosystems, initial public offerings and listings are becoming a high-stakes referendum on who gets funding, credibility and, most of all, the runway to scale.
Across the Pacific, the contest has been......

China probe into Trip.com zeroes in on algorithms, prices after vendor backlash: analysts (SCMP)
|
|
|
Chinese regulators are targeting one of the world's biggest travel platforms in an anti-monopoly probe after complaints it had hurt travellers and travel operators in China's expansive tourism market, analysts said.
Unlike the broad legal actions against Chinese tech firms and cram schools five years ago, the investigation into Trip.com is seen as a relatively isolated case – yet one that might precipitate others – in response to issues over commissions, exclusivity and the sophisticated use of......

Silver Tops $100 As Chinese Demand Is Literally ′Off The Charts′ (ZeroHedge)

Silver Tops $100 As Chinese Demand Is Literally 'Off The Charts'
Spot Silver prices just topped $100 for the first time in history...
Quite a journey of late...
Yet, as we noted earlier in the week, despite record highs prices, Goldman's commodity trading desk notes that spec positioning in New York and Shanghai remains close to the lows.
Perhaps with the understatement of the week, Goldman's Delta-One desk-head Rick Privorotsky noted earlier that gold and silver remain in an aggressive uptrend.
The broader signal still looks like reserve diversification rather than pure risk hedging.
There is clearly hot money involved, but first and foremost gold is a central bank trade… a slow erosion of the dollar's exorbitant privilege rather than a sudden loss of confidence.
If there was one chart that summed up the craziness in the silver market it is this... the premium being paid for silver in Shanghai over silver in the West...
'Off the charts'...
Which appears to back Goldman's Adam Gilla...

DJI, a dominant force in the global drone and camera-stabiliser markets that has come under siege from fierce competition and a protracted trade war, is navigating an unprecedented situation: as it grapples with expanded US tariffs and tightened scrutiny, products bearing striking resemblances to its own designs are emerging in the market under other brands.
The next “clone” may be a wearable action camera – the Xtra ATTO – which is expected to enter the US market in the first half of the year.......

TikTok US joint venture seen resembling Apple′s China iCloud deal (SCMP)
|
|
|
TikTok has officially launched a US joint venture tasked with “safeguarding the American content ecosystem”, with commercial activities such as e-commerce, advertising and marketing remaining under the company's existing US entities.
The arrangement has been widely compared with Apple's 2018 move to transfer mainland Chinese iCloud user data to Guizhou-Cloud Big Data (GCBD), according to Chinese media. GCBD is a project owned by the Guizhou provincial government-backed company AIPO Cloud......
