Yet the very people you propagate against the most are the creators and brains behind the most important technologies of today’s world the internet, electricity, cars, aviation, ships, phones, computers, electronics. Name me one thing China invented to help the world, yet the very people and civilization that created these technologies at scale are on the receiving end of deliberate and evil propaganda. Where was China when the West was developing the internet and its infrastructure? China itself is a direct beneficiary of Western technology transfer. Show some gratitude.

Hongqi G919: 2.0 turbo + four electric motors, 3150 kg curb weight

The Hongqi G919 is a new ultra-badass Chinese SUV with an EREV powertrain.

It combines a 160 kW 2.0 turbo with four electric motors. The electric motors put out 620 kW and 1320 Nm. Somewhat disappointingly, the top speed is limited to only 180 km/h. It can tow 2500 kg. Battery: EVE 64.1 kWh NMC (nickel-cobalt-manganese), for a 220 km electric range.

The G919 also features a body-on-frame design and a mechanical differential lock on the front and rear axles, so it'll do nicely off-road. It also has all-terrain tires, size 275/60 R20.

Size: 5135/2050/1950, 2900. And now the panda in the room: a 3150 kg curb weight. That's a new record for China. No wonder it ain't very fast...

Volkswagen sold 5.004 ID. Era 9X SUVs in May.

- 8th spot in VW's May Top 10.
- most-expensive car in VW's May Top 10.
- the brand's best-selling NEV.
- the nine other cars in VW's May Top 10 are ICEs.
- the next best-selling NEV is the ID.4 Crozz at 15.

The Volkswagen ID. Era 9X launched in April, so it landed in the Top 10 very quickly. The manufacturer is SAIC-VW. There's definitely a positive buzz in China around the car, with some saying that this is the car that will bring VW back into the large-SUV game.

When you look at the overall large-SUV segment, the ID. Era 9X ended up at the sixth place, just below the Aito M8 and just above the Onvo L90. 5th seems within range. Let's see what it does next month...

The ID. Era costs between $45.5 K and $53 K.

Luxeed RX is another Xiaomi copy

There was a time, not so long ago, that every Chinese car maker copied foreign design. It still happens nowadays, but only occasionally.

The new thing is: Chinese car makers copying each other. Just look at the new Luxeed RX. It is one of the many upcoming copies of the best-selling Xiaomi YU7 SUV. A bit sad, perhaps, but that it how things go in China: if something works - everybody will sell it.

- Curb weight: 2400-2250 kg.
- Power RWD: 277 kW, 251 km/h.
- Power AWD: 437 kW (160 front, 277 rear), 251 km/h.
- Batteries: CATL NMC for the RWD, CALB NMC for the AWD.

Launch in Q3.

Luxeed is a Chinese car brand under HIMA, a subsidiary of Huawei.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇯🇵 NEW: China has rejected a U.S. request to ease rare earth export restrictions on Japan.

Beijing says the controls target military end use materials and will remain in place, signaling its willingness to use dominance in critical minerals as strategic leverage.

As tensions over Taiwan grow, China is reminding Washington and its allies where the world's rare earth bottleneck still lies.

TheElec - Korean semi media:
Japanese suppliers account for 25% of global WF6 & have to cut 2026H2 output
Samsung is especially exposed to this supply.
Very important for 200L+ NAND chip, but also DRAM & Logic
Koreans & Chinese suppliers have to pick up the slack.

[tphuang @tphuang]

Tungsten powder export (yearly from 2018 to 2025), destination breakdown & production (2022-2025) out of China.

Notice the decline in export despite the increase in production? China is keeping more locally to move up Tungsten supply chain into WF6 & WC. Paying dividend.

Deputy Majority Leader George Kweku Ricketts-Hagan says the government has stabilised the economy and restored macroeconomic stability in less than two years due to prudent fiscal policies.

He accused the erstwhile administration of abysmal management that plunged the country into serious crisis, which resulted in a return to the International Monetary Fund in 2022.
