SCI & TECHJul 23China’s tech firms turn the global AI boom into opportunity amid fierce rivalry at homeDriven by a global surge in AI spending and fierce competition at home, Chinese tech companies are rapidly expanding their international footprint, not just via physical supply chains, but increasingly through cloud-based software and foundation models. The broader push aligns with recent customs data from the first half of 2026 showing a sharp rise in physical tech exports. Integrated-circuit exports nearly doubled in value to US$177.3 billion, a 96 per cent year-on-year surge heavily inflated...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHJul 23China’s new chip stores data with a single electron, breaking AI memory bottleneckHow many electrons does it take to store a single bit of information? For today’s most advanced dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips from Samsung and SK Hynix, the answer is roughly 200,000. That is the price of reliability – a vast reservoir of charge needed to ensure a “1” or “0” does not fade into noise. But a team at Fudan University in Shanghai has just collapsed that number to its theoretical floor: one. In a paper published on July 16 in Science, microelectronics professor Zhou Peng...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHJul 23China’s crackdown on AI companions won’t fill the emotional voidIn the past week, one regulation has forced many people in China to say goodbye to long-standing “relationships”. As of July 15, the government placed artificial intelligence (AI) companions under tight supervision. It comes as automated companions have experienced something of a boom over the past few years. According to the rules, AI-human interactions should not encourage violence or harm users’ physical and psychological well-being. Moreover, AI bots should not lure users into sharing...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHJul 23China fires up powerful particle accelerator to unlock secrets of atomsChina has brought online a record-breaking particle accelerator that can produce the world’s most intense beams of charged atoms.

SCI & TECHJul 22World’s first AI model to earn perfect score at maths Olympiad comes from China’s RedNoteFor the first time, an artificial intelligence model has achieved a perfect score at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) – and it was developed by Chinese social giant RedNote. The model, dots-note-3.0, solved all six puzzles and secured a perfect score of 42 at this year’s IMO, which concluded in Shanghai on Monday. The note variant, still in beta phase, is currently the lightest model in the dots3 family, which includes two larger versions – jazz and aria – tailored for different use...South China Morning Post

Two transactions, worth more than US$1.7 billion each, were carried out by the Bank of China’s Shenzhen and Fujian branches in June and July, respectively. They showed mBridge’s ability to support high-value cross-border settlements across...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHJul 22How China is rolling out electric trucks at vast scale to boost net-zero pushChina is pushing to ensure that electric trucks account for at least 40 per cent of new heavy-goods vehicle sales by 2030, as part of a broader effort to reduce carbon emissions in its vast transport sector. That would mean having at least 1.6 million electric heavy-goods vehicles on the road by the end of the decade, said Cai Tuanjie, an official from China’s Ministry of Transport, at a Tuesday press briefing. Electric trucks currently make up nearly 30 per cent of China’s new heavy-goods...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHJul 22China’s unique high-orbit satellite is using a rare metal the US struggles to obtainA satellite that can provide 24/7 surveillance of a third of the Earth’s surface relies on a rare mineral whose global supply is dominated by China, a new study has disclosed. The Ludi Tance-4 01 radar satellite, powered by gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors, is the only satellite of its kind. It orbits 36,000km (22,000 miles) above the Earth and is able to stay in what is known as a geosynchronous orbit, which keeps it fixed over the same spot. This allows it to monitor both large areas of...South China Morning Post
