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. Advertisement Unlike the US, which had an edge in AI computing, China was focused on efficiency – emphasising revenue generated by AI-enabled offerings and cost savings achieved through high productivity, the US investment bank said.

Apple Watch 及 AirPods 繼續稱皇，但華為小米極具挑戰力
市研機構 Counterpoint Research 最新發表兩份針對全球智能手錶真無線耳機市場的報告，認為市場正進入成熟期，品牌格局與消費者行為出現明顯變化。 2025 年第一季，全球智能手錶出貨量按年下跌 2%，已連續第五季錄得下滑。主要原因包括印度市場增長放緩，以及 Apple Watch 出貨量下降。不過，中國市場表現突出，出貨量按年大增 37%，推動中國全球市佔率升至 2020 年底以來新高，當中華為、兒童手錶品牌 Imoo及小米表現最為強勁[1]。 Apple 雖然連續六季錄得按年跌幅，但憑藉龐大 iOS 用戶基礎，仍穩守全球第一。華為及小米則憑本地需求、產品多元化及具競爭力定價，出貨量大幅增長。Samsung 則因舊型號需求減弱，出貨量按年跌 18%。 消費者購買趨勢亦有變化，100-200 美元價位手錶出貨量增長 21%，反映市場對健康及運動功能需求提升；入門級（100 美元以下）則跌 17%。兒童智能手錶亦持續增長，Imoo 於此領域領先，尤其在中國。 2025 年全球 TWS 耳機出貨量預計僅增長 3%，反映市場進入成熟期。經濟不穩、產品創新有限及裝置壽命延長，令整體增長動力減弱。不過真無線耳機已成日常必需品，尤其新興市場對於 50 美元以下型號仍有穩定需求，預計至 2028 年維持溫和增長。 Apple 憑新產品線帶動市場氣氛，預計 AirPods Pro 3 將以健康功能及沉浸式音效為賣點，刺激現有用戶換機。但由於 Pro 系列定價較高，難以推動整體出貨量明顯上升。預期 2027 年標準版 AirPods 及新一代 ANC 型號推出時，才會見到出貨量顯著增長[2]。 小米則憑親民定價及多元渠道，2025 年第一季全球 TWS 市場表現強勁；Samsung 則利用 Galaxy 生態圈及 AI 功能，維持品牌競爭力。 更多內容： TWS Market Entering Maturity, Poised for Moderate Growth Through 2028 Global Smartwatch Market Shipments Down 2% YoY in Q1 2025; China Maintains Upward Momentum 長期戴耳機會有傷害？用 AirPods Pro 2 反而可能保護聽力 iOS 26 代碼意外確認 AirPods Pro 3 的存在，但又引起一些矛盾？ Apple Watch SE 3 或採用更大螢幕，有望 9 月亮相 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

China's EV newcomer Xiaomi sells nearly 300,000 SUVs in an hour
Chinese electric vehicle maker Xiaomi has received 289,000 pre-orders for its first sport utility vehicles within an hour of launching, in what the company says was a "miraculous" moment for the industry. The thousands of pre-orders were for the Beijing-based tech giant's five-seater YU7, priced from 253,500 yuan ($54,000). Xiaomi, sometimes referred to as China's Apple, is the world's second-largest smartphone manufacturer. Founder and chief executive of the electronics-turned-car company, Lei Jun, said he was astonished by the reaction from customers. "My goodness, in just two minutes, we received 196,000 paid pre-orders and 128,000 lock-in orders," Mr Jun said in a video distributed after the vehicle's launch. After the launch, Xiaomi's Hong Kong-listed shares soared 8 per cent at one point before pulling back slightly but ending at a record high. The YU7 is Xiaomi's second vehicle and one that undercuts Tesla's Model Y in price by nearly 4 per cent. The Model Y is China's best-selling SUV and starts at 263,500 yuan ($56,000) in China. Financial consultant Shi*, 26, who owns a Tesla Model Y, said he was considering buying a YU7 for his father. "At this price, it's just really reasonable — it's totally in the same range as Model Y," he said. Xiaomi made its first foray into car making with its SU7 EV model last year as part of a broader industry push to boost domestic consumption. But initial enthusiasm for intelligent driving features in such vehicles was tempered by the fatal crash of a SU7 sedan in March. The vehicle had been in assisted driving mode just before it crashed, killing three students. The incident sparked widespread concern over autonomous driving technology and vehicle safety. Xiaomi said at the time that initial information showed the car was in the "navigate on autopilot" intelligent-assisted driving mode before the accident and was moving at 116 kph. In a rundown of the data submitted to local police posted on a company Weibo account, Xiaomi said the autopilot system had issued a risk warning of obstacles ahead. A driver inside the car took over and tried to slow it down but then collided with a cement pole at a speed of 97 kph. *Shi did not want to use his last name. ABC/wires
