Geely combined AI charge management with pulse-based "repair" and says it extends EV battery cycle life by 20%. We look at how slowing degradation differs from restoring lost capacity, and which test conditions remain undisclosed.
CXMT is planning a NAND R&D line in Beijing, while YMTC has sent LPDDR prototypes to customers. Here is how far each move has gone, checked against the mass-production products each company has officially announced.
The US has proposed that China adopt a system for notifying each other of AI incidents that affect national security. We compare the public records from both sides and earlier talks, then use the OECD reporting framework to examine what will determine whether such a system works: notification criteria, shared information and more.
CNN reports a US military boarding of a Chinese ship was prepared on a false, AI-assisted intelligence report. We check the claims against government documents to see how two uses of AI obscured verification.
China's Institute of Microelectronics reportedly built a GAA transistor path toward sub-3nm nodes without relying on EUV. But a 500,000 on-off ratio only confirms single-device performance—key questions on power, performance, area, interconnects, and yield remain unanswered.
DRAM maker CXMT is reportedly planning a NAND research and development line in Beijing and talking with potential customers, according to Reuters. Here is what the report confirms, and what remains unknown before any commercial supply.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicted China will reach advanced lithography technology by 2030. Cross-checking public records against ASML's development history reveals several milestones still separate prototype machines from mass production capability.
USA Rare Earth has broken ground on a $1.2 billion rare earth magnet plant. Drawing on primary sources, this piece examines the planned annual capacity of 6,400 tons, the contractual investment requirements, the conditions attached to government support, and the barriers to securing raw materials.
A joint Chinese expedition has identified a gold- and silver-rich seafloor deposit in the western Pacific. We look at the peak concentrations in partial samples, how hydrothermal fluids gather metals, and the hurdles between sampling and mining.
China's AI chip companies all posted strong sales growth in 2026, while NVIDIA's revenue from China-headquartered customers fell from 19.2% to 9.1% of total sales in a single year. Yet China's leading large language models are still being trained on NVIDIA hardware. This piece traces the reasons to two barriers: two decades of software assets built up around CUDA, and the physical ceiling imposed by HBM supply.
