China’s industrial heartland of Guangdong is being forced to turn back to costlier natural gas to meet rising electricity demand, after the El Niño weather pattern curtailed hydropower and wind output

Japan should think twice before repeating the patterns of its past. China has every reason to remain highly cautious of Japan. Its modern history includes repeated cases of surprise attacks used to impose a new reality by force. More importantly, Japan is now rebuilding its military capabilities and expanding the scope of its military activities, while becoming increasingly involved in the Taiwan issue. China is waiting for the right moment to pounce on its prey.

CHINA’S 🇨🇳 CXMT BEGINS MASS PRODUCTION OF FIFTH-GEN DRAM PLATFORM CXMT says the platform reduces key memory-cell spacing to 11.95nm using quadruple patterning, allowing more memory to be packed onto each chip. It also unveiled two new 24-gigabit LPDDR5X chips for smartphones and portable devices, each offering 50% more capacity than its previous comparable products. The manufacturing improvement is also significant: CXMT says the new platform can produce at least 50% more gross chip dies per wafer than its fourth-generation process, based on an 8-gigabit chip. That figure refers to the number of potential dies produced before defective chips are removed, not a 50% improvement in final manufacturing yield. CXMT says critical parts of the process were developed through computer simulations and joint R&D with Chinese semiconductor-equipment makers, as China continues reducing its dependence on foreign chipmaking technology.

China’s CXMT Begins Mass Production on New Memory-Chip Process Platform Hefei-based memory-chip maker CXMT said it had reduced the spacing between key structures in the chip’s data-storage region to 11.95 nanometres (nm), or approximately 12 billionths of a metre. The company achieved this using “quadruple patterning,” a technique that repeats multiple manufacturing steps to create finer circuit patterns. According to CXMT, the platform can produce at least 50% more gross dies per wafer than its fourth-generation platform, based on an 8-gigabit (Gb) chip. The company said it developed the platform using computer simulations and collaboration with Chinese semiconductor-equipment manufacturers on critical production steps.

China’s markets are off to a strong start in 2026, raising renewed comparisons to the 2015 boom‑and‑bust just as global tensions escalate — from dramatic US moves over Greenland to a surge in gold prices and a weakening dollar. With capital rotating out of U.S. assets and liquidity patterns shifting across Asia, does today’s rally carry familiar risks, or does it mark the start of a very different cycle? In this episode of Moving Markets – The View Beyond, Richard Tang, Head of Research Hong Kong at Julius Baer, speaks with Hong Hao, Managing Partner and CIO of Lotus Asset Management Ltd., to examine these cross‑currents: the resilience of A‑shares, the wave of Hong Kong tech IPOs, and why rising margin financing today is not a replay of 2015. They also highlight the key themes shaping 2026, including precious metals, AI‑linked industries, and high‑dividend opportunities. This episode was recorded on 21 January 2026.

China's Baiheliang Ancient Hydrological Inscription in the #Yangtze# River and #Egypt#'s Nilometer on the Nile are under joint nomination for World Heritage status. 😆Baiheliang is a natural stone ridge in the Yangtze River north of Fuling District, #Chongqing#. Measuring 1,600 meters in length and about 15 meters in average width, the ridge lies along the riverbed and remains submerged for most of the year, emerging only during the low-water season in #winter# and #spring#. Its inscriptions record low-water data for 72 years over more than 1,200 years, dating back to AD 764, making it an invaluable resource for hydrological research. #DeepChina# Nilometers were used to measure the water level of the Nile. 🥽At least 20 once stood along the river. The one being jointly nominated with Baiheliang is located on #Rawda# Island. Its main structure is a stone well about 10 meters wide and 13 meters deep, with an octagonal marble column standing at its center and marked with graduations indicating different water levels. The column bears inscriptions in #Arabic# and Coptic recording water levels at different times. Both the Yangtze River and the Nile are world-renowned cradles of civilization. 🌲Baiheliang and the Nilometer preserve valuable hydrological records, revealing cyclical patterns in agricultural production in the ancient civilizations of #Asia# and #Africa#. Jointly nominating these two well-preserved examples of hydrological #heritage# from major river basins could help fill a gap in the World Heritage List, which currently has no comparable heritage sites representing ancient hydrological observation in major river basins. #ChineseNation#
