From 2020 to 2024, Chinese companies have committed to investing EUR11.7 bln in Hungary, much higher than the EUR3.5 bln in France, EUR2.5 bln in Spain, and EUR1.8 bln in Germany.

After the capital injection, Liang’s shareholding ratio has jumped to 34 percent from 1 percent.

DeepSeek has hiked its registered capital by 50% to CNY15 mln. The entire increase of CNY5 mln was funded by the Chinese artificial intelligence startup’s founder Liang Wenfeng.

China collected CNY501.8 billion in PIT Q1, up nearly 11% on year. The growth was primarily driven by higher wages and salaries, as well as increased income from equity transfers and dividends, Yang Zhiyong president of the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences told Yicai.

China has blocked a foreign acquisition of Chinese AI startup Manus and told the parties involved to cancel the deal, the National Development and Reform Commission said on its website today. Meta had agreed to buy Manus for over USD2 billion in December last year. @MetaNewsroom @Meta @ManusAI

@BeijingDai This second shot was taken in the 1980s by Liu Heung Shing. It's Pu Jie (Pu Yi's brother) at the Forbidden City.

This man was Puyi, the last emperor of China. In the 1960s, he worked at the Beijing Botanical Garden, watering plants and selling tickets. Another duty of his was meeting foreign dignitaries. People would introduce him by saying, "This is His Majesty, the Last Emperor of China." Then Puyi would stand up and say, "No, I am a proud and ordinary citizen of the People's Republic of China." Every time, the foreign guests would be left with a look of utter astonishment. After all, throughout history—whether in China or abroad, ancient or modern—we've seen deposed royal families executed, exiled, or expelled. But taking a former ruling house, especially the last monarch of a dynasty, and turning him into an ordinary citizen who sells tickets for a salary at a botanical garden? That happens nowhere else in the world.

@ZichenWanghere @shoptemu 生吞A4纸的也是个狠人 😂

No one is talking about the obvious: who says China doesn't have private enterprises and the CCP can have whatever it wants from them? Employees of PDD, the founder of Temu @shoptemu, literally used violence to defend their data from govt scrutiny.

@China_Amb_Japan 不止是水稻，中国农业专家还在非洲帮助当地农民提高玉米、大豆的种植技术。特别是豆浆可以帮助当地农民获得比较稳定的蛋白质，降低营养不良。我们前几年写过相关报道。shorturl.at/fMbRn

@_mm85 真的会有人觉得机场餐厅的饭好吃？

Quick airport snack: Duck, veggies, meatballs, egg, pickles. Big can of American bud! 58 RMB. Taste was good - could have had more flesh on the bones 😅 To China-American friendship! $QQQ $HSI

@vshih2 过去也监管的

There you go, but actually makes sense since overseas issues are quite unique. I am guessing that some MOFA cadres will be moved over

@ruima @TechBuzzChina 期待

Hey hey, so we are adding some new partners to the @techbuzzchina network, and here is the first, which I've already RT'ed in the past and 1700+ of you already followed, so thank you! A Note from Rui With the rapid improvement of generative AI and translation tools, we've been rethinking what kind of analysis actually adds value for our readers. Frankly, there's less and less reason to offer watered-down versions of what smart people inside China are already writing — especially when the original thinking is so much richer. So we're excited to announce our first content collaboration with Weijin Research (未尽研究), founded by Zhou Jiangong. I was introduced to Mr. Zhou last year through a good friend who has done a lot of work in climate change. But once I became a subscriber to his research platform, I quickly realized he and his team write about far more than energy — they cover AI, semiconductors, crypto, industrial innovation, and much more. They're prolific, and their perspective is genuinely valuable: China-centric, because they're writing for a Chinese audience, but on topics that are fundamentally global at this point. We'll occasionally feature translated pieces from Weijin Research on @techbuzzchina channels, but they have a full pipeline of content — to get the complete picture, we'd encourage you to subscribe to their substack or @weijinresearch directly. We’re helping to operate those and welcome your feedback. We think English-language audiences would really benefit from reading their work, and we're glad to help get it out there. About Zhou Jiangong Zhou Jiangong is the founder and CEO of Weijin Research, a Shanghai-based research firm covering technology, AI, and carbon neutrality. He is one of China's most experienced business media executives. He was a founding editor of Yicai Daily (First Financial Daily) in 2004, then served as Editor-in-Chief of Forbes China from 2009 to 2015. After Alibaba's RMB 1.2 billion investment in Yicai, he became CEO of the entire Yicai Media Group, overseeing its TV, print, digital, and new ventures — including launching the English-language Yicai Global. Before media, he was a research consultant at CSIS in Washington, D.C., working on China's pension reform. He founded Weijin Research in 2023, and has since published widely on generative AI, the economics of large model training, and China's role in the global energy transition. He authored Crossing the Unknown: From Infinite Labor to Infinite Computing and translated the Chinese edition of the Jensen Huang/Nvidia biography. He holds master's degrees from Johns Hopkins SAIS and Peking University.

@ZichenWanghere 赢学当道 😅

another huge win for President Trump! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸So many wins 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! Can't keep up!

The adjustment of fund management is also a rivalry for the right of speech in scientific research, aiming to support domestic Chinese journals, a life sciences researcher told Yicai.

A researcher told Yicai. "Journals on the warning list, such as Nature Communications and Science Advances, will no longer be permitted to use national funds to pay publication fees."

Regulations that national funds could not be used to pay for predatory journals were shared internally earlier, making it an inevitable trend that using national funds for APCs will be restricted, another researcher said to clarify the official stance.

The APCs of international authoritative journals are generally no less than USD5,000, while the global average stands at about USD2,000, industry data showed.

@yicaichina That's like 16 bucks per person. Wonder if he tipped?

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang was seen dining at a beef hot pot restaurant in Shenzhen yesterday with six friends, with the group spending CNY800 (USD115) in total, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported. This is Huang's first visit to China this year, having already passed through Beijing and Shanghai.
