Hard to pivot: why China's exporters struggle to sell at home despite trade war

And they were right – in theory.
By betting on the growing environmental awareness among Western consumers, Soton Daily Necessities, based in Zhejiang province, went the extra mile – adopting a tech- and capital-intensive strategy to ensure that even a simple straw could be good for the planet.
The only thing the company had failed to plan for was April's trade war, and
the precarious situation it would unleash on unsuspecting exporters.
'Anyone with sound logic would not expect a US president to go to such an extreme,' Soton's deputy president, Mao Bin, told local media in Zhejiang.

Chinese AI stocks to extend DeepSeek-driven run as Beijing counts on growth boost
Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are expected to defy a slowdown across industries, as the mainland relies on the technology to boost business efficiency and revive economic growth, according to investors and analysts. Advertisement Companies including Meituan and Xiaomi were set to benefit from a wave of AI integration that would transform business models, according to Morgan Stanley, as investors look for new winners after DeepSeek's breakthrough in generative AI technology. China Asset Management, one of the mainland's biggest mutual-fund firms, said last month that the country's AI adoption – estimated at 5 per cent penetration at present – was on the cusp of explosive growth, similar to personal computers in the 1980s. 'AI will probably become a key driver for China's modernisation,' said Yao Pei, an analyst at Huachuang Securities, in a report this month. 'There are lots of catalysts for AI, and AI is expected to penetrate into every industry,' notably electronics, computing and media, Yao said. DeepSeek's surprising ascent earlier this year put China's technology stocks back into the spotlight, spurring optimism that the country would be able to lead the world in AI in spite of US export curbs. Investors are identifying new prospects in the industry after making bets on platform-based developers of large language models such as Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings . Alibaba owns the Post.

DeepSeek's LinkedIn AI job listings show hunger for international Chinese talent

Xpeng launches G7 ‘Super AI' SUV, taking on Xiaomi YU7 and Tesla Model Y
Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Xpeng launched its G7 SUV on Thursday, sending another contender into a fierce battle in the premium SUV segment of the world's largest EV market, where it joins Xiaomi's recently introduced YU7 in taking on Tesla's market-leading Model Y. Dubbed Xpeng's first 'Super AI [artificial intelligence] car', the G7 starts at 195,800 yuan (US$27,325), with the top-of-the-line model selling for 225,800 yuan, the Guangzhou-headquartered company said during a launch event in Beijing on Thursday. The car is Xpeng's first model to feature its in-house Turing AI chip . With three such chips, the EV was able to run an AI large language model with more than 30 billion parameters, the company said. This made the EV the world's first mass-produced car with Level 3 (L3) self-driving capabilities, said He Xiaopeng, Xpeng's founder and CEO, at the launch event. 'The G7 is an epoch-making product from Xpeng and also our first new car in 2025,' said He. 'Starting today, in Xpeng's intelligent driving system, there will not only be L2, but we will also bring L3 intelligent-driving computing power to consumers.' Xpeng unveiled the G7 on June 11 and started presales at 235,800 yuan, placing the car between the company's G6 and flagship G9 SUVs. The model garnered more than 10,000 pre-orders in 46 minutes, He said in a post on Chinese social-media platform Sina Weibo last month. L3 is considered a 'hands-off' system, but still requires drivers to be responsible for safety and ready to take over, while L4 would allow drivers to take their eyes off the road in designated areas, according to standards set by US-based SAE International.
