Reading Time : 2minutesBilibili has relaunched its international app, letting overseas creators register without government ID and potentially reach hundreds of millions of Chinese viewers through automatic translation. But behind the welcoming move lie unresolved questions about monetization, moderation, data protection, and the rules that will govern global content on a platform built for a very different audience.
Reading Time : 2minutesShanghai Fashion Week turned the city into a dazzling stage for self-expression, with more than 80 shows and a street scene alive with bold personal style. Local designers are reworking Chinese heritage into modern, globally minded fashion, creating a new visual identity that feels confident, inventive, and impossible to overlook.
Reading Time : 3minutesJensen Huang has issued a blunt warning: artificial intelligence may become powerful and dangerous, and the United States and China cannot manage that risk alone. His call for direct dialogue between governments and researchers lands amid rising tech rivalry, export controls, and a new British push to fund AI safety research.
Reading Time : 3minutesChina’s factory-gate prices rose 5% in September, the fastest pace since 2022, driven by oil, coal and other commodity costs. Yet consumer inflation remained subdued at 0.9%, exposing a widening gap between industrial costs and household spending power. The question now is whether stronger factory activity can finally reach wages, jobs and everyday demand.
Reading Time : 2minutesAI is changing more than software. It is redrawing the strategic map of the US-China rivalry, turning chips, models, data, and markets into instruments of power. As Washington restricts access and Beijing expands its reach, both sides face an uncomfortable truth: technological dependence can become leverage for the rival it was meant to contain.
Reading Time : 2minutesDeepSeek has open-sourced a full programming toolkit for Huawei’s Ascend AI chips, aiming to challenge Nvidia’s CUDA dominance. The release includes TileLang, a high-level language designed for performance and ease of use, plus libraries optimized for large-scale training. Backed by Huawei, the move signals a serious push to build a domestic GPU software stack amid export controls.
Reading Time : 2minutesChina commands over 60 percent of humanoid robot patents and nearly 60 percent of global industrial robot installations. Its lead in AI foundation models for robotics is widening, raising alarms in Seoul and Washington. With an integrated supply chain and state backing, Beijing is setting the pace for the next industrial revolution.
Reading Time : 3minutesChina’s possible approval of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 5500 for ByteDance and Alibaba would mark a cautious reversal of last year’s restrictions, but not a return to unrestricted chip access. The decision could reflect Beijing’s need for computing power, even as it continues promoting domestic alternatives and tightly controlling Nvidia’s more advanced AI hardware. The scale, timing, and conditions of any purchases remain uncertain.
Reading Time : 2minutesAlibaba has announced an aggressive artificial intelligence roadmap combining a new domestic processor, trillion-parameter Qwen models, and a vast expansion of cloud infrastructure. The plan could strengthen China’s technological independence, but its success will depend on chip production, energy availability, software efficiency, customer demand, and whether massive model sizes translate into more capable and commercially valuable AI systems.
Reading Time : 2minutesTaiwan’s TAIEX has climbed near its record high as chipmakers lead a broad rally fueled by expectations for the Trump-Xi summit. Yet beneath the optimism, investors face unresolved risks involving Taiwan, trade, tariffs, and artificial intelligence. The market’s next test will be whether strong export demand and technology earnings can sustain gains after the political headlines fade.
Reading Time : 2minutesHuawei is revolutionizing artificial intelligence infrastructure with its upcoming Ascend 960 processor family launching in 2027. Featuring advanced chiplet architectures and high speed interconnectivity capable of linking one million processors, this powerful ecosystem is empowering leading AI labs and dynamic international markets with scalable, high performance computing solutions to drive the next era of global technological innovation.
Reading Time : 2minutesArtificial intelligence is changing political disinformation from a labor-intensive operation into a potentially industrial process. Convincing images, voices and videos can now be produced rapidly and distributed globally. The central threat is therefore not merely that people will believe one fabricated story, but that repeated synthetic evidence could gradually destroy confidence in authentic information itself, making reality increasingly difficult to verify.
Reading Time : 2minutesTop AI labs are quietly negotiating a joint standards body to test and audit frontier models before release. The push follows a stark warning from Anthropic’s CEO about accelerating capabilities and unresolved risks. Disagreements over government roles and global coordination remain.
Reading Time : 3minutesChina’s humanoid robots are doing far more than chasing spectacular speed records. Behind the races lies an enormous engineering experiment involving balance, artificial intelligence, batteries, actuators, control systems and machine reliability. The ultimate contest may not be about which robot runs fastest, but which machines can leave the laboratory, enter the real world and perform useful work reliably, safely and independently.
Reading Time : 3minutesThe headline numbers tell one story, but the undercurrents reveal a different one. Strong exports are masking deep domestic fragility, and the trade surplus keeps widening into territory that invites retaliation. With a Trump-Xi summit approaching and tariff cuts on the table, the stakes are rising fast.
