China's EV buying subsidies for 2025 end in parts of Xian, local media says
The three districts are set to stop accepting applications for the subsidies later in July, according to the report. It did not give a reason for the pause or disclose what might happen in other districts.
Some Chinese cities, including Zhengzhou and Luoyang, suspended trade-in subsidies for car buyers because the first round of funding allocated by Beijing for the scheme was running out, Reuters reported in June.
The state planner and finance ministry said last month that consumer trade-in subsidies for the remainder of the year would be issued in July and October respectively.

Liverpool v AC Milan: Team lineups and updates from Hong Kong
12:10PM Today's line-ups Liverpool Here's how the Reds line-up in Hong Kong 👊🔴 Watch the game LIVE on All Red Video ⤵️ #LFCPreSeason — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 26, 2025 AC Milan Team news from Hong Kong 📋 — AC Milan (@acmilan) July 26, 2025 12:08PM Liverpool's busy summer... to be continued? Having built up a reputation for modest spending and measured dealing - relative to other clubs in the top six, that is - it's surprising to see that on top of the signings mentioned below, Liverpool are reportedly ready to spend another £120m on Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. The asking price is £150m, but even if Liverpool do barter down, they'll break Chelsea's record for spending in a summer transfer window. Should that happen, Arne Slot will have to hope his charges fare better. In Todd Boehly's first window, Chelsea signed 13 players for a total of £405m with mixed fortunes. Success stories like Moises Caicedo (£115m), Cole Palmer (£40m), and PSR successes like Djordje Petrovic (£14m, sold for £25m) have been heavily mitigated by disasters like Christopher Nkunku (£53m), and the injury-hampered Romeo Lavia (£58m). Chelsea's PSR navigation has been viewed with contention, so how have Liverpool handled it? You can read in full here. 11:58AM Liverpool's busy summer Liverpool's current summer spend totals a whopping £270m, £300m if you include the fee they paid Valencia for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili last August - a deal that saw the Georgian immediately loaned back for the season. Should the requisite add-on clauses be triggered, their signing of Florian Wirtz for an initial £100m will become a British-record at £116m. Here are the other signings this summer: Hugo Ekitike - £69m from Eintracht Frankfurt Freddie Woodman - free from Preston North End Milos Kerkez - £40m from Bournemouth Jeremie Frimpong - £35m from Bayer Leverkusen Armin Pecsi - £1.5m from Puskas Akademia 11:48AM New blood in classic fixture Liverpool and AC Milan play their second fixtures of pre-season at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong this afternoon, as the Premier League champions take another look at a number of new signings as their prolific summer transfer window rolls on. Whilst in attendance, their newest signing, Hugo Ekitike - signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for an initial £69m - is not named in the match-day squad, but there will be a chance for further inspection on Florian Wirtz from the start. Elsewhere new signings Freddie Woodman, Giogri Mamardashvili, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong all feature from the bench, whilst youngsters Rio Ngumoha, Tyler Morton, and Luca Stephenson all start. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez won't feature, instead flying home today to get treatment on an Achilles issue having trained out in Asia earlier this week. Liverpool TV's pre-match coverage have reported that the squad are looking forward to their first 'proper' fixture of pre-season, and whilst today's opponents languished in eighth in the Serie A last season, it's certainly an esteemed fixture. Since the infamous Champions League final in 2005, they've played four times, with Milan avenging that defeat in the 2007 final before three Liverpool wins; twice in 2021 and a 3-1 win in September of last year. Milan's lineup is TBA, but we can expect to see some summer signings of equal stature to Liverpool's, with none other than Luka Modric joining, alongside midfielder Samuele Ricci. They lost in real time, but won on a gratuitous penalty shootout vs Arsenal just three days ago, and have big motivation to prove themselves today after an underwhleming season last year. Kick off is 12.30pm, stay tuned!

Huawei shows off AI computing system to rival Nvidia's top product
SHANGHAI, July 26 (Reuters) - China's Huawei Technologies showed off an AI computing system on Saturday that one industry expert has said rivals Nvidia's most advanced offering, as the Chinese technology giant seeks to capture market share in the country's growing artificial intelligence sector. The CloudMatrix 384 system made its first public debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), a three-day event in Shanghai where companies showcase their latest AI innovations, drawing a large crowd to the company's booth. The system has drawn close attention from the global AI community since Huawei ( first announced it in April. Industry analysts view it as a direct competitor to Nvidia's (NVDA.O), opens new tab GB200 NVL72, the U.S. chipmaker's most advanced system-level product currently available in the market. Dylan Patel, founder of semiconductor research group SemiAnalysis, said in an April article that Huawei now had AI system capabilities that could beat Nvidia. Huawei staff at its WAIC booth declined to comment when asked to introduce the CloudMatrix 384 system. A spokesperson for Huawei did not respond to questions. Huawei has become widely regarded as China's most promising domestic supplier of chips essential for AI development, even though the company faces U.S. export restrictions. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in May that Huawei had been "moving quite fast" and named the CloudMatrix as an example. The CloudMatrix 384 incorporates 384 of Huawei's latest 910C chips and outperforms Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 on some metrics, which uses 72 B200 chips, according to SemiAnalysis. The performance stems from Huawei's system design capabilities, which compensate for weaker individual chip performance through the use of more chips and system-level innovations, SemiAnalysis said. Huawei says the system uses "supernode" architecture that allows the chips to interconnect at super-high speeds and in June, Huawei Cloud CEO Zhang Pingan said the CloudMatrix 384 system was operational on Huawei's cloud platform.

Belgian Grand Prix sprint race and qualifying: Formula One
Update: Date: 2025-07-26T09:23:44.000Z Title: Preamble Content: British drivers have dominated the sprint races so far this season, with two previous edition being won by Lewis Hamilton (China) and Lando Norris (Miami), but the chances of that run being extended this morning are not high. Norris will start third on the grid, behind teammate Oscar Piastri, who is on pole, and Max Verstappen. Norris has a very slim chance of pulling level with Piastri at the top of the drivers' standings qualifying should he overcome the odds, win the sprint and see Piatri fail to score. In all likelihood, Piastri will start this afternoon's qualifying with a small increase in his lead there. Hamilton is all the way down in 18th after an error in sprint qualifying yesterday saw him fail to make it out of the first session. Oliver Bearman, who qualified in seventh for Haas, has a better chance of extending the British run of sprint winners this season than the Ferrari driver. The sprint race has had little correlation with either qualifying or the Grand Prix winner this season, so trying to read too much into it is misguided but hopefully it's a nice little amuse-bouche to the action to come. What was clear from yesterday's qualifying is that the McLaren are quickest on the corners, with Piastri and Norris ahead of Verstappen in the bendy sector two, so if the Briton can find a bit more speed in the straighter sections he has every chance of bettering the Red Bull. That said, it could well be that we have a 15-laps of smoke and mirrors. We'll find out soon.
