On July 9th, in a report titled "Investment Strategy: Going Long on Chinas AI Value Chain," Goldman Sachs analyst Louis Mille wrote, "Chinas AI industry has officially come into our view." The reason given is that "the unprecedented combination of massive government support, surging global demand, and structural capital rotation makes Chinas AI one of the most compelling growth stories in the technology sector today." Goldman Sachs presented three key points to support its investment argument: Chinese AI companies market capitalization is severely mismatched with market size, leaving ample room for valuation upside; the Chinese AI industry chain possesses unique competitive advantages that are currently undervalued by the market; and the Chinese AI sector is outperforming other Chinese assets, with funds structurally increasing their allocation.On July 9th, it was learned that XPeng Group held its first all-staff meeting for its Robotaxi business and announced the official launch of employee internal testing.

Ship tracking data shows that observable traffic on this vital global energy corridor is concentrated primarily on the northern side of the waterway, via Iranian-approved routes, while the US-backed Oman corridor is virtually deserted. Among large vessels, only one very large crude carrier (VLCC) sanctioned by the US has left the Persian Gulf, while one container ship flying the Iranian flag was seen in the strait. However, it cannot be ruled out that some vessels may have passed through the strait with their transponders switched off. This contrasts sharply with recent daily activity in the Strait of Hormuz. Kpler data shows that in the three weeks since the US and Iran reached a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the average daily transit of cargo ships has been 34, peaking at 59 on June 24th, compared to less than 20 on most days during the war.July 9th - According to a press conference held today by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, as part of the APEC China Year series of events, under the guidance of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the Peoples Government of Guangdong Province, and the Peoples Government of Shenzhen Municipality will convene the APEC Forestry Ministerial Meeting in Shenzhen from July 27th to 28th.

Gulf Energy Development PCL, owned by Thai billionaire Sarath Ratanavadi, has completed an investment in Binance's US branch and its hallmark cryptocurrency, BNB.


The move follows the announcement in January of a cooperation between the two companies to develop a digital asset market in Thailand.

Despite this, the Thailand regulator has filed a criminal complaint against the exchange for operating without a license.

Crypto firms would "not be authorized to promote or market crypto payments," according to the banking authority.
