Authorities will also crack down on market malpractices, such as deceptive pricing tactics like "raising prices before applying discounts" and false promotions.</p><p>"We will conduct evaluations to strengthen support for policies aimed at driving equipment upgrades and trade-in deals for consumer goods, summarizing and extending successful experiences and practices," Li said at a news conference in Beijing on Tuesday.</p><p>"Meanwhile, we will study and propose new policy measures to further increase support and expand the scope of the policies, which will be publicly announced in due course after completing the necessary procedures," she added. "The goal is to continue using the policies to benefit the public, enhance corporate profits and drive economic improvement."</p><p>China's accelerated push for driving large-scale equipment upgrades and promoting trade-in deals for consumer goods is paying off, with significant growth in consumer spending on key goods like home appliances and accelerated development in industrial upgrading, providing a solid base for the country's continued economic recovery, said officials and experts.</p><p>In October, sales of home appliances — also known as white goods — and audiovisual equipment jumped nearly 40 percent year-on-year, the NDRC said.</p><p>Li said the policies are designed to stimulate economic recovery from both the supply and demand sides, as businesses are encouraged to upgrade their products to meet evolving consumer needs, while trade-in incentives boost consumer spending.</p><p>The approach is yielding results. In the first 10 months, investment in purchases of equipment and tools rose 16.1 percent year-on-year, contributing over 60 percent to overall investment growth.</p><p>The National Bureau of Statistics said retail sales, a key measure of consumer spending, grew 4.8 percent year-on-year in October, up from 3.2 percent in September.</p><p>"Thanks to policymakers' cash-for-clunkers program funded by 150 billion yuan ($21 billion) in ultra-long-term government bonds, retail sales growth jumped in October," said Lu Ting, chief China economist at Nomura.</p><p>As the trade-in program continues to boost sales of cars and white goods, his team expects retail sales growth to remain elevated over the rest of this year, he added.</p><p>Zhou Maohua, a researcher at China Everbright Bank, said he believes China will likely register around its 5 percent annual economic growth target, buoyed by a suite of countercyclical policies introduced since September.</p><p>"The measures have boosted market expectations, with consumption and investment showing signs of strengthening in the year's final stretch," Zhou said. "Robust demand management policies are aligning domestic demand with stable supply, positioning the economy for a balanced recovery."</p><p>Looking ahead, Li from the NDRC said China's economy is expected to sustain its recovery momentum during the November-December period, building on the upward trend seen since October, as existing policy measures take effect and new policies are implemented.</p><p>"We are working collaboratively with all sectors to ensure the annual growth goal is met," she said.</p><p>Li added that China's economic outlook for 2025 remains optimistic, supported by robust structural factors and favorable market conditions. Key among these are over 300 major reform initiatives set in motion at the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, which will boost the internal driving forces and invigorate innovation and vitality.</p><p>Meanwhile, she said China's vast domestic market continues to be a significant asset, with substantial untapped demand. And policymakers still have ample policy space and policy tools to maintain economic stability.</p><p><i>Source:&nbsp;By Ouyang Shijia | China Daily | Updated: 2024-11-20 09:38</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/stimulus-measures-to-be-enhanced.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIWCr0SLCIzUpfy0gekmrSruNUJxjam810Od68FUM6nom4MiwH0H2q5-Xodc0mSJmDpfN96cs-EuSp_QJL76s_fA7rJlXUdM6aDVvDC7R4ZfDS0At0qkEC_O8YTivlViMqc3eSJsIsM1shX1gDpbUxh88WHlR756xMo7JIbXCsAOWLJGNlvF2HPhGWkqr6/s72-c/stimulus.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-6363265894952857083</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Nov 2024 13:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-20T05:50:13.363-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Appliances</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Electronics</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Robotics</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Trade</category><title>Home appliance makers localize for Brazilian market</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6J6n9lIQPyrwEUOMQXu_iIlacrxzl3QysNuXW8aVQGziL-dcQFyLjMhXn_VCp6dg1YMyxvNXo21T7Byr2-R76GOjqOHdA1I_ntRhnYzeZPR3nS1ElgOkAuQTdEEKo-amTk3F98XD2HxYGGmefrZdFJ-sO_xJmdJMnVSVaOLWn4dUNHO3TW2DdJY4FRPd9/s1199/brazil.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1199" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6J6n9lIQPyrwEUOMQXu_iIlacrxzl3QysNuXW8aVQGziL-dcQFyLjMhXn_VCp6dg1YMyxvNXo21T7Byr2-R76GOjqOHdA1I_ntRhnYzeZPR3nS1ElgOkAuQTdEEKo-amTk3F98XD2HxYGGmefrZdFJ-sO_xJmdJMnVSVaOLWn4dUNHO3TW2DdJY4FRPd9/s320/brazil.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(China Daily)&nbsp;Chinese home appliance makers are expanding their footprint in Brazil and increasing investments in localized operations covering research and development, production and marketing, so as to tap into the immense development opportunities in South America's largest market.<p></p><p>Midea Group, one of the world's largest producers of appliances and industrial robots, said it will continue to increase its investments in product innovation, brand building and localization in Brazil, one of its most important overseas markets.</p><p>The company, headquartered in Guangdong province, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new 700-million-yuan ($98.3 million) factory in Pouso Alegre in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais last year.</p><p>Covering an area of over 70,000 square meters, the factory, which is Midea's third in Brazil, and produces refrigerators and washing machines, is now in trial operation.</p><p>With an annual production capacity of more than 1 million units, the plant integrates digital and innovative production technologies, and is expected to enhance Midea's competitiveness in the local market. Products made there will be sold locally and in other markets in South America.</p><p>The new facility joins Midea's other two factories in Brazil, one located in Manaus producing household air conditioners and microwave ovens, and the other in Canoas making commercial air conditioners.</p><p>"Our goal is to become one of the leading brands in the Brazilian refrigerator market within four years. Midea will provide Brazilians with more choices for intelligent home appliances and improve the quality of life of local consumers," said Wang Jianguo, vice-president of Midea Group.</p><p>Chinese consumer electronics maker TCL Technology Group has also intensified efforts to make forays into the Brazilian market, with a key focus on home appliances and photovoltaics, as part of a broader push to expand its global footprint.</p><p>Yue Haiping, general manager of the overseas marketing department's Brazil branch at TCL, said the company has huge growth potential in the Latin American country, and hopes to introduce more leading consumer electronics products to the Brazilian market and bring more choices to local consumers by leveraging its advantages in products, technology, supply chain and brand promotion.</p><p>The company has two manufacturing bases in the city of Manaus in Brazil's Amazonas state, where the local government has provided favorable tax policies. Yue said the annual production capacity of its TV factory has reached 3 million units, while its air conditioner factory, which was put into operation in 2022, can produce nearly 1 million units each year.</p><p>"We have more than 1,500 employees in Brazil. The localized manufacturing capacity is of great significance to expand TCL's business in the country as you learn more about the local market, and local consumers will also have a higher level of recognition and acceptance of brands and products," Yue said.</p><p>Felipe Hennel Fay, vice-president of SEMP TCL, said Brazilian consumers have an increasing demand for high-end electronic devices, especially large flat-screen TVs and premium refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines.</p><p>SEMP TCL is a joint venture established by TCL and Brazilian home appliance manufacturer SEMP in 2016.

The Long March 12 is the first Chinese rocket with a diameter of 3.8 meters and will become the mightiest single-body rocket in the country," Ma said.</p><p>According to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, a CASC subsidiary in Beijing, the Long March 8A can use two types of payload fairing — a diameter of 4.2 meters and of 5.2 meters — and is able to transport spacecraft with a combined weight of 7 metric tons to a typical sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 700 kilometers.</p><p>It is capable, reliable and easy to prepare for launch, and its operation and procurement costs are relatively low compared with other rockets, it said.</p><p>The Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, also a CASC subsidiary and developer of the Long March 12, said the rocket model is more than 60 meters tall and is capable of sending at least 12 tons of payloads to a low-Earth orbit or 6 tons to a sun-synchronous orbit about 700 kilometers above Earth.</p><p>The Long March 12 incorporates a number of new technologies and has multiple functions. Its service will extensively improve China's capability to send spacecraft to a sun-synchronous orbit and deploy multi satellite networks in low orbits, according to the Shanghai academy.</p><p>In addition to the two mid-size models, CASC is also showcasing two larger types of rockets, the Long March 9 and Long March 10A, both of which are under research and development at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.</p><p>The baseline configuration of the Long March 9 will have three stages and a height of about 110 meters.</p><p>It will be powerful enough to transport spaceships weighing up to 50 tons to an Earth-moon transfer trajectory for lunar missions, including the construction of a large-scale science outpost, or at least 100 tons to a low-Earth orbit.</p><p>In addition to the baseline configuration, another model will have two stages and will be reusable, according to the Beijing academy.</p><p>The Long March 10A will be nearly 70 meters tall and 5 meters wide and will also have two configurations — one for crewed flights and the other for cargo missions. Its first core stage will be reusable.</p><p>All four rocket models were displayed at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which concluded on Sunday in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.</p><p>The Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center is China's first launch complex dedicated to servicing commercial space operations. Other spaceports are directly administered by the government, mainly tasked with servicing State-funded programs.</p><p><i>Source:&nbsp;By Zhao Lei | China Daily | Updated: 2024-11-19 09:52</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/new-long-march-series-rockets-to-debut.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0VHPI3dmYUs29L3zLezyXhBm4LFuCELAxoO66ZGC0xXYyW5w14_vCguhHBdu4kDPRBxjPSuTrOO0E79ihH2P2gRoQd7PyKqqXt6UW6B1ty5bGwHK6tSHigPLDcWbPdIH-HbxWLo1a95GvsElBq0p4p7tJQ3T2hVCunuO5F0Gsf7x7EgO68gkpuMqCwMK/s72-c/LongMarchRockets.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-4086956055060951323</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2024 14:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-19T06:12:30.707-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Artificial Intelligence</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Cloud Computing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Ecommerce</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Investors</category><title>Alibaba to continue investments in core tech</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJm-YcTpjFAnID8YFV2a83DMiIhc8sbJ7WJr74ZdTwozqkkVXdssVjyVQDcvFQVKpjxuaD2gChr4pUvJ44fTRX3r3WrIKWy8huhjuS_0qkUoOvKsHyHqZprnlg2y34HeBG5VPUJuLfFU22JQpguMaZwLMmqaKx34xzKmjLQkI9-b724VQtmIrvZzOC7HB/s1200/alibaba.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJm-YcTpjFAnID8YFV2a83DMiIhc8sbJ7WJr74ZdTwozqkkVXdssVjyVQDcvFQVKpjxuaD2gChr4pUvJ44fTRX3r3WrIKWy8huhjuS_0qkUoOvKsHyHqZprnlg2y34HeBG5VPUJuLfFU22JQpguMaZwLMmqaKx34xzKmjLQkI9-b724VQtmIrvZzOC7HB/s320/alibaba.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(China Daily)&nbsp;Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's core business segments maintained steady growth in the third quarter, and it will continue to invest in advanced technology and artificial intelligence infrastructure while optimizing operational efficiency, the Chinese tech heavyweight said.<p></p><p>Experts said AI technology is playing a vital role in improving user experience, and speeding up its integration with a wider range of fields to bolster transformation and upgrade traditional industries.</p><p>Alibaba reported late on Friday a 5 percent year-on-year revenue increase to 236.5 billion yuan ($32.7 billion) for the July-September period, while net income reached 43.5 billion yuan, up 63 percent year-on-year.</p><p>For the quarter ended Sept 30, revenue from Alibaba's core e-commerce business, or its Taobao and Tmall platforms, rose 1 percent year-on-year to 99 billion yuan.</p><p>"This quarter, we continued to invest in the user experience and strengthen product offerings to serve our consumers.

This is the 70th country that Temu has entered since its debut in September 2022 in the United States, and the step is considered the most important in the company's expansion plans in the Latin American market.</p><p>To attract local consumers in Brazil, Temu is offering an array of favorable policies including shopping discounts and coupons, as well as free home delivery.</p><p>According to global research firm Statista, Brazil remains the leader in Latin America's e-commerce space. In 2023, the country's online shopping revenue amounted to nearly 186 billion Brazilian reais ($32 billion), more than double the figure in 2019.</p><p>Temu's online retail business in Latin America already covers Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay, Ecuador, Dominica and Panama. The platform offers a wide selection of merchandise, including apparel, consumer electronics, jewelry, shoes, cosmetics and baby products at competitive prices. Most of these products are shipped directly from factories or warehouses in China.</p><p>Chen Lei, chairman and co-chief executive officer of PDD, said the company hopes to leverage the supply chain capacity it has accumulated over the years to create a new channel that enables consumers in different countries and regions to directly purchase products from factories, providing more flexible and personalized supply chains and more cost-effective shopping experiences.</p><p>Online fast-fashion retailer Shein has been investing in Brazilian garment manufacturers to support local manufacturing and enhance competitiveness. Founded in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Shein is known for its affordable and large selection of fashionable clothing and accessories — features that allow it to gain traction among overseas shoppers.</p><p>The company has announced that it will initially invest $150 million to establish a network with thousands of textile manufacturers in Brazil, which is expected to become a manufacturing and export hub for the rest of Latin America. It plans to partner with 2,000 local manufacturers, creating around 100,000 new jobs over the next three years.</p><p>The investment will be used to provide tools and training in factories to upgrade traditional operations to match Shein's on-demand production model. This will enable local manufacturers to better manage orders, reduce waste and lower excess inventory, the company said.</p><p>"The key to our growth strategy is leveraging our global scale and operational excellence to support and contribute to local economies and ecosystems," said Marcelo Claure, chairman of Shein in Latin America.</p><p>With growing consumer demand, the company saw the opportunity to localize more of the supply chain to benefit consumers, small businesses and the wider economy, he said.</p><p>By the end of 2026, local manufacturers and vendors are expected to account for almost 85 percent of all transactions made in Brazil, according to Shein. The company also announced the launch of a local marketplace with third-party Brazilian sellers supporting small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.</p><p>Felipe Feistler, general manager of Shein Brazil, said the country is an important market for the company, which is committed to continuing its support for Brazil's economic growth and success.</p><p>"Our goal is to support Brazilian manufacturers and suppliers so that they can increase their growth and reach within the region, as well as act as a building block for future global opportunities," he added.</p><p>Market consultancy Mordor Intelligence predicts that the size of Brazil's e-commerce market will reach $52.87 billion in 2024, and stand at $125.68 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.91 percent between 2024 and 2029.</p><p>Younger generations are increasingly comfortable with online shopping and are driving e-commerce growth in Brazil, while the adoption of contactless payment and the increasing penetration of internet and smartphone use have significantly influenced the development of the e-commerce market, it noted.</p><p>Chen Tao, an analyst at Beijing-based internet consultancy Analysys, said the Brazilian e-commerce market is witnessing robust growth and has become a leading player in Latin America's digital commerce landscape.</p><p>"Price, quality and service are the most important factors consumers consider when buying products, and cost-effective commodities have shown obvious advantages amid the downward pressure the global economy is facing," he said.</p><p>Looking ahead, the competition among cross-border e-commerce platforms will be focused on supply chains, Chen said, adding that for Shein and Temu, one of their core competitiveness factors lies in products that offer competitive prices and fast delivery services, which are again highly dependent on the establishment of efficient supply chains.</p><p>Cui Lili, director of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics' Institute of E-commerce, said that Chinese online retailers who are making inroads into overseas e-commerce markets should quickly capture demand in overseas markets, learn more about relevant laws, regulations and quality standards in these countries, and adjust supply chains to make products that meet local requirements.</p><p><i>Source:&nbsp;By Fan Feifei | China Daily | Updated: 2024-11-19 07:50</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/chinese-e-commerce-giants-make-their.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcgEulLitjlvMDRiUEkv5mnd0N87q2jViYg0eajhsczMzifTO4cI6jqOPrVEXttprrwbrISMpDI85ljVh06Nqit93mvxKE3tCd4Ay2KhM-2Cc11UBQ_4nUU2FPCHtPpPnUmHFN0bNPgs4icyvVdhfibFp3JKlAeYNEw3njhyphenhyphengzOxXCbZkbX7Qk-4iHt6g/s72-c/ecommerceBrazil.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-7405550544151643065</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2024 14:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-19T06:04:44.887-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Autos</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Economy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Electric Vehicles (EV)</category><title>China sees more auto trade-ins on policy support</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWjMHIt3Yrd-7bJOiZMS03B_0G_CoW0KzS9hIcOHbXuSxW70j1fjhbP8UjGTtzKTSC0oxNLrkOgd2GfG9mS8pqPLuabByuRDN0UG6m-VYlci3PBXViRWZZ59KhqflUFMyQYVDE05hyphenhyphenp22pQIxpRpWsy6lVNA2SNUsKV6qMEE0qK_A2JokvX44QkwHX7fJY/s1198/tradeIns.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="1198" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWjMHIt3Yrd-7bJOiZMS03B_0G_CoW0KzS9hIcOHbXuSxW70j1fjhbP8UjGTtzKTSC0oxNLrkOgd2GfG9mS8pqPLuabByuRDN0UG6m-VYlci3PBXViRWZZ59KhqflUFMyQYVDE05hyphenhyphenp22pQIxpRpWsy6lVNA2SNUsKV6qMEE0qK_A2JokvX44QkwHX7fJY/s320/tradeIns.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(Xinhua) China reported a rapid increase in auto trade-ins thanks to policy support designed to benefit consumers.<p></p><p>The Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday it had received over 4 million subsidy applications for trade-ins of passenger vehicles as of Monday under a mass renewal program initiated early this year.</p><p>Currently, people trading in an old car for a new energy vehicle are entitled to a 20,000 yuan (2,781 U.S. dollars) subsidy, while those replacing for a fuel car will get 15,000 yuan.</p><p>The policy has effectively stimulated the auto market.

The event was attended by representatives from Chinese carmakers such as FAW, Dongfeng, Chery and BYD.</p><p>Analysts believe it to be a historic moment, not only for the transformation of the country's automotive industry, but also for the global shift toward green transportation.</p><p>"Developing the new energy industry and advancing green, low-carbon transitions are shared goals for countries worldwide," said Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, noting that NEVs play a crucial role in global efforts to combat climate change and protect the environment.</p><p>The achievement is a milestone for China's auto industry and a testament to China's expanding contribution to global green development and carbon reduction, said Fu Bingfeng, executive vice president and secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM).</p><p>According to official data, the NEV market share in China was just above 1 percent in 2015 but has since surged thanks to an expedited green transition of the Chinese economy.</p><p>In July this year, NEVs made history by surpassing fuel-powered vehicles for the first time in terms of market share, with retail sales nationwide hitting 878,000 units -- accounting for 51.1 percent of the domestic market.</p><p>Promoting a green shift in the auto industry is the trend going forward. China's development of the NEV industry is aligned with the growing demand in the global automotive market.</p><p>A report of the International Energy Agency showed that electric cars -- referring to both battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars -- accounted for around 18 percent of all cars sold worldwide in 2023, up from 14 percent in 2022 and only 2 percent in 2018. "These trends indicate that growth remains robust as electric car markets mature," the report said.</p><p>Notably, China's NEV industry mainly caters to the domestic market and the country's NEV exports constitute only a small portion of its total production. While approximately 9.59 million NEVs were manufactured in the country last year, only about 12 percent of them were exported.</p><p>According to data from the CAAM, China's domestic sales of NEVs reached 8.692 million units in the first 10 months of this year, which is more than eight times the export volume of NEVs during the same period. The domestic sales volume saw a year-on-year increase of 38.3 percent, with a growth rate over 30 percentage points higher than that of exports.</p><p>"China's active development of new energy vehicles is primarily driven by the increasing demand from domestic consumers. From the perspective of sales structure, the focus is on domestic sales, and the proportion of exports is not high," said Bai Ming, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce.</p><p>In recent years, international car companies such as Tesla, BMW and Toyota have all been actively expanding their production of NEVs in China.</p><p>For example, Toyota has established one of its largest overseas testing and R&amp;D centers in Changshu, east China's Jiangsu Province, and recently opened an advanced technology research center in Shanghai. Tesla broke ground in May on a mega factory in Shanghai to manufacture its energy-storage battery Megapacks.</p><p>"China has always maintained an open and cooperative attitude, promoting closer industrial cooperation between domestic and foreign automotive companies and sharing the opportunities for development in the NEV industry," said Bai Ming.</p><p>Amid a new round of technological and industrial revolution, the global auto industry is witnessing drastic changes in such areas as technology, products, business models and ecosystems.</p><p>To promote high-quality development of the NEV industry, it is crucial to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with enterprises from various countries, Xin Guobin said, calling for collaborative efforts in key technological research and development.&nbsp;</p><p><i>Source: Xinhua&nbsp;&nbsp;2024-11-14 21:15:32</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/chinas-nev-annual-production-hits-10.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLW-1iwHt_jHdudqMgggylmG7w606CkQRUXHw9ezUErxj78QaD-K0jw5XL6nXzRzNKz9r8_9hUy6QYmvadqRCC4-_qxqYVn3Zvez9_Aa4CaftQfzfp0J7-tu44SAxRjYgDR_lPAWGKG5KR3yuYsrY7O1ZUeuRCVQLfC8svFnAi9aFlM_1dCDDoT-BGZA9Q/s72-c/EVs.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-6728242803947371501</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-18T05:08:02.539-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Geology</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Geophysics</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Science</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Space</category><title>Lunar samples indicate previous magma activity</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Ga-yX0w08wUIULemtmH-hSEUMsBq-vg-WHbihE3tgT1PVApbGg6b2KRMe4iQqNhPxigBaDLTBhVC4qBMrH8OqW5JpwodC6oaT_WouOMtIgWVvAocKAIy5EwWnAot6kOgmja3X8o2icjMeYyS721IJdVRcbQYrp0kJoEPg6Gff9HX_pSunbvc8c34OF9i/s768/lunarSamples.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Ga-yX0w08wUIULemtmH-hSEUMsBq-vg-WHbihE3tgT1PVApbGg6b2KRMe4iQqNhPxigBaDLTBhVC4qBMrH8OqW5JpwodC6oaT_WouOMtIgWVvAocKAIy5EwWnAot6kOgmja3X8o2icjMeYyS721IJdVRcbQYrp0kJoEPg6Gff9HX_pSunbvc8c34OF9i/s320/lunarSamples.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(China Daily)&nbsp;Chinese scientists have discovered there were magma activities on the far side of the moon 4.2 to 2.8 billion years ago, lasting for at least 1.4 billion years, further enhancing our understanding of the moon's evolution.<p></p><p>Two related studies based on the samples retrieved from the lunar far side by the Chang'e 6 mission were simultaneously published in the international academic journals Nature and Science on Friday.</p><p>There are significant differences between the near and far sides of the moon in terms including morphology, composition and magma activity, and the formation of these differences is a key issue in lunar research.</p><p>"Unraveling the volcanic history of the far side of the moon is crucial for understanding the hemispheric dichotomy of the moon," said Li Qiuli, a professor from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.</p><p>Previously, scientific understanding of the lunar far side was mainly based on remote sensing studies. In June, China's Chang'e 6 lunar probe returned nearly 2 kilograms of samples to Earth for the first time.</p><p>These samples were collected from the South Pole-Aitken Basin, the largest, deepest and oldest basin on the moon.</p><p>Since 2021, Chinese scientists have used lunar soil samples returned by the Chang'e 5 mission to demonstrate that significant magma activity still existed on the nearside of the moon 2 billion years ago, and minor volcanic activity persisted as recently as 120 million years ago.</p><p>In the study published on Friday in Nature, a research team from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics and the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated magma activity on the lunar far side from 4.2 billion years ago to 2.8 billion years ago through dating research on 108 basaltic rock fragments from 5-gram lunar soils.</p><p>The study published on Science, conducted by a team led by Xu Yigang, an academician of the CAS and a researcher at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the CAS, also confirmed magma activity on the lunar far side 2.8 billion years ago.</p><p>The study also indicates that the eruption of lunar mare basalt is influenced by the internal composition of the moon, explaining why the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the lunar far side lacks abundant volcanic activity.</p><p>"These samples are the first to be collected on the lunar far side so it provided a unique view to the moon's global geological history. The results are novel and are deserving of publication in Science.

We entered into long-term collaborations with industry peers to broaden payment and logistics services on Taobao and Tmall platforms, which we expect will accelerate our overall growth.</p><p>Growth in our Cloud business accelerated from prior quarters, with revenues from public cloud products growing in double digits and AI-related product revenue delivering triple-digit growth. We are more confident in our core businesses than ever and will continue to invest in supporting long-term growth.</p><p>Our other businesses continued to improve their operating efficiency, with most of them continuing to increase their profitability or reduce losses,” said Eddie Wu, Alibaba CEO.</p><p>The group has become a bellwether for the mainland Chinese economy which has undergone a rocky period, but which is now responding to government stimulus measures.</p><p>Alibaba now has dual primary share listings in Hong Kong and on the New York Stock Exchange (in ADR form). In the year to date, the Hong Kong shares have gained 16.8% to HK87.2 per share. The ADRs are up 21% at $90.58 apiece and were up more than 3% in pre-market trading on Friday, following the quarterly results statement.</p><p><i>Source: Variety by Patrick Frater&nbsp;&nbsp;Nov 15, 2024 4:45am PT</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/chinas-alibaba-manages-5-revenue.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz7GB4F9RpPFedKiwq6BMIm61maLFYC7FzCSWsrdHc1bBy0COQWpuUjIBfyYl-O1utaRMnGte4EenG1Eah9-3yZe6wb43tKDOArI34RHoC8IumPvdEH9CQeOqJfPEBF0EmaoLo5aKgsS8Y1JoGlw5ewYu_6oXseE6BNwWMc_tsvPNlFq9XqmkHN5FwPfCM/s72-c/alibaba.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-4688150439783291900</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Nov 2024 13:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-17T05:54:24.205-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Artificial Intelligence</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Government</category><title>Xi, Biden affirm need to enhance international AI cooperation</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVp5vfHAIDFe6ItrbHdpMyp0CblrDV4DzmO7JcLPTv6XXqD778ZpO-JwzL6qIaY_zy2OzcKZ-K9CwgdjAyqjvRmUy54RzKOn0zoyqIsltNY8zmDWJJzlfU9v5CfDZ8cZkbG7qS8X26jHwUJk5X20XW_LasJt1YwtXBQ9PN-kvzVVWG9GiIywRTVVMfNCD/s909/xiBidenAI.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="909" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVp5vfHAIDFe6ItrbHdpMyp0CblrDV4DzmO7JcLPTv6XXqD778ZpO-JwzL6qIaY_zy2OzcKZ-K9CwgdjAyqjvRmUy54RzKOn0zoyqIsltNY8zmDWJJzlfU9v5CfDZ8cZkbG7qS8X26jHwUJk5X20XW_LasJt1YwtXBQ9PN-kvzVVWG9GiIywRTVVMfNCD/s320/xiBidenAI.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(Xinhua) Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden on Saturday affirmed the need to enhance international cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI) and promote AI for good for all.<p></p><p>During their meeting on the sidelines of the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, Xi and Biden also stressed the need to maintain human control, instead of AI, over the decision to use nuclear weapons.</p><p><i>Source:&nbsp;Xinhua | Updated: 2024-11-17 09:43</i></p></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/xi-biden-affirm-need-to-enhance.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVp5vfHAIDFe6ItrbHdpMyp0CblrDV4DzmO7JcLPTv6XXqD778ZpO-JwzL6qIaY_zy2OzcKZ-K9CwgdjAyqjvRmUy54RzKOn0zoyqIsltNY8zmDWJJzlfU9v5CfDZ8cZkbG7qS8X26jHwUJk5X20XW_LasJt1YwtXBQ9PN-kvzVVWG9GiIywRTVVMfNCD/s72-c/xiBidenAI.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887159228005352243.post-2220805562327341037</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Nov 2024 13:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2024-11-17T05:52:59.688-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Ecommerce</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Government</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">China Internet</category><title>Diplomat sees huge potential in web, tech</title><description><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqB6W4l0pm7eX-JXG-nGzZxI_GgAZ0X9Zg4cfLChSyPKCsr94FGmxlhNQicmQe3bB1X2N3WdUPAkilX1ACc3nnOdtJEbKaSGnRLabc3YGVPs6B-4HOSUfKXK-XHiJ5zK4CqdLkKAQdS7MDylYIpOw-2ymyo8NvJ7BeiiBLn5NuzZa0cfqXwF7zH8qq8o4/s962/brazilWeb.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="962" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqB6W4l0pm7eX-JXG-nGzZxI_GgAZ0X9Zg4cfLChSyPKCsr94FGmxlhNQicmQe3bB1X2N3WdUPAkilX1ACc3nnOdtJEbKaSGnRLabc3YGVPs6B-4HOSUfKXK-XHiJ5zK4CqdLkKAQdS7MDylYIpOw-2ymyo8NvJ7BeiiBLn5NuzZa0cfqXwF7zH8qq8o4/s320/brazilWeb.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />(China Daily)&nbsp;Brazil's top envoy to Beijing has highlighted the immense potential for cooperation with China over the Internet, saying that China's expertise in cutting-edge technology could be instrumental for the Latin American nation.

However, Lynx stands out by swapping traditional pad feet for wheels, significantly enhancing speed and versatility without compromising control.</p><p>As seen in a recent promotional video, this wheeled design not only brings added excitement but also enables the robot to handle diverse terrains more effectively.</p><p>The Lynx’s design allows it to lock its wheels, enabling it to walk or climb like a conventional quadruped. This feature makes it suitable for navigating rough and uneven surfaces, while its powerful motors can also drive it efficiently over loose dirt, gravel, and smooth pavement. In essence, Lynx combines the adaptability of a walking robot with the efficiency and speed of a wheeled system.</p><p>The video demonstrates Lynx in action on a rigorous multi-terrain course. The robot maneuvers down steep slopes with careful control, shifts between walking and wheeled modes, and even climbs over an 80-centimeter boulder. Lynx’s dual-mode locomotion versatility and stability make it capable of tackling challenging terrain, whether on wheels or legs.</p><p>With its flexible movement modes, Lynx promises to offer a promising tool for applications that require reliable all-terrain navigation. The company claims that Lynx is now available for pre-order.</p><p>Autonomous rescue</p><p>In a recently circulated video, developers from DEEP Robotics can be seen teaching their X30 robot dog to avoid hazards, strangers, and other random objects.</p><p>The Chinese company, which is renowned for its expertise in robotics technology, was the first in the nation to use quadruped robots for fully autonomous substation inspection.</p><p>According to DEEP Robotics, its quadruped robots can be utilized for a variety of tasks, including emergency rescue, fire detection, security measures, and doing scientific studies in areas deemed unsafe or inaccessible to people.</p><p>This kind of feature can be useful in a variety of scenarios, particularly while working in hazardous and difficult areas on security, surveillance, or rescue missions.</p><p>The behavior must presently be programmed into the X30 robot dog, but with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI), it might eventually become a standard pre-existing function.</p><p>One of the X30 quadruped robot’s unique features is its ability to function in extremely cold conditions, from -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20°C) to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (55°C). Additionally, it has IP67 protection, which makes it waterproof and able to function in environments with water.</p><p>Additionally, it can climb industrial stairs steadily and flexibly at a 45-degree angle. Thanks to its integrated perception, the robot can travel and function independently in harsh situations without light, eliminating the need for external light sources.</p><p>&nbsp; <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iL833P0Vino?si=-BT3ETy2aR3qkBGj" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><br /></p> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wGE1RrTtoXM?si=isdaL2pl1odeH5M9" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><i>Source: Interesting Engineering by Jijo Malayil&nbsp;&nbsp;Nov 14, 2024 08:54 AM EST</i></div></description><link>https://www.technologynewschina.com/2024/11/watch-chinas-insane-robot-dog-tackles.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (InfoseekChina)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUXjH-zHZpXAhlXqNOA4mUDTiLG9eIRu-GTpCNr1vEiMvuCnfLofO2ABP-RRxJ3Zq5sVWQmTcRakB51UOQL9xDZ3OjKdm0-v8NLgOblS3bejB8ZM3gSMXliFIvWb2I_7gOIK8U4xP17tTCWfDfxfRIiYqygDB7DeWVlhOKLjWv-cR_iP1C7DxNyp_aQWq/s72-c/dog1.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
