Beijing-based Moonshot AI just raised $500m, pushing its valuation to $4.3bn. Backed by Alibaba, Tencent and IDG, it’s sitting on ¥10bn in cash — and says it’s not rushing for an IPO, even as rivals line up in Hong Kong.

China just gave robots their own tariff codes. New customs categories now cover bionic robots, helping track trade flows and overseas demand more precisely. Robots just officially became a “real” trade commodity in China’s tariff system. 🤖

China just upgraded the e-yuan. Banks must now pay interest on e-yuan held in digital wallets — making the state digital currency behave more like real deposits. Already: 230m wallets, 3.5bn transactions, ¥16.7trn moved. Digital cash just got stickier.

China just tightened fuel rules. Under the 15th Five-Year Plan, new mandatory standards cut fuel consumption by ~18% for passenger cars and 10% for light commercial vehicles. A typical 1.5-ton auto is now capped at 7.74L/100km — greener driving just became policy. 🚗🌱

US just sanctioned mainland China and Hong Kong firms over Venezuelan oil. Washington is blacklisting Chinese-linked tankers and even chasing a “ghost ship” that reportedly painted a Russian flag to dodge seizure. Oil, sanctions — and shadow shipping — are getting hotter. 🛢️

China is moving to tighten silver exports to the US and Europe, after prices jumped 158% to a record in 2025. Only 44 firms are now approved to ship out — putting silver in the same strategic category as rare earths.

China’s labor courts just drew a red line: firing workers because AI replaced them can be illegal. Companies can adopt AI — but can’t simply replace humans without negotiation. Human 1, Machine 0. 🤖💥

China just capped foreign beef imports at 2.7m tons and slapped a 55% tariff on anything above quota. Brazil, Australia and the US are hit first. With China being the world’s biggest beef buyer and global prices already rising, your steak just got closer to luxury food. 🥩
