BOE and Samsung have ended their 35-month dispute about the IP of AMOLED technology.
The United States International Trade Commission planned to issue a final ruling on whether China's BOE infringed on the OLED display trade secrets of South Korea's Samsung Display on Nov. 17, which should have been the conclusion of the preliminary ruling of infringement made in July, but it received a joint application from the two companies to withdraw the case, the agency announced on its website on Nov. 18.

JingGong Tech/精工科技 has signed agreement with 蔚星科技 to collborate on using it high performance CFRP tech in satellite production. This is a little surprising because JingGong is more known for its production line equipment rather than the CFRP itself.

Back at end of 22, Dongfang Electric group had ignited China's first self developed 50MW F class heavy gas turbine and now this is being export to Kazakhstan. Took 13 years of research for it to get grid connected and starting to generate electricity. Can operate at 180m depth water.

This turbine is called G50. First set of GTs have already operated for 10000+ hrs and had 10+ orders. It has orders to both Central Asia & middle east.

Dongfang is also developing 200MW class G200 and 15MW class G15.

Paper which argues that US export controls on Huawei were a mistake and overreach. Notably from a China hawk thinktank.

The approach taken by the U.S. government against Huawei, with export controls to sanction the company and cripple it, was hubristic—and ultimately backfired. An import ban on Huawei’s 5G network in the United States, along with urging allies and trade partners to follow suit, would have addressed the cybersecurity concerns about the company. Yet, the measures went beyond. The U.S. government took actions against the company for its alleged business with adversaries, such as Iran, which turned out to be costly for U.S. firms and damaging to American competitiveness. It later tried to cripple the company, underestimating Huawei’s innovation capabilities and the PRC’s support. Moreover, as this report shows, a 2012 Congressional report denouncing the company’s predatory practices and cybersecurity risks served as an early warning that prompted the company to invest in decoupling from U.S. technologies.

Huawei’s resiliency threatens American competitiveness and market share. After the implementation of export controls, the company has successfully launched its in-house OS, HarmonyOS, which is now being rolled out on mobile devices, tablets, and laptops—potentially threatening U.S. firms’ market share in these sectors. The company is also catching up in chipmaking and exploring new business lines, such as energy storage technologies and smart automotive solutions. Additionally, this report demonstrates how export restrictions harm U.S. companies, resulting in over $33 billion in lost sales and, in some cases, a relative reduction in R&D investments. The failure of U.S. policies against Huawei evidences an outdated rationale to address Chinese mercantilism.

The current U.S.-China techno-economic competition differs significantly from earlier episodes when U.S. technological leadership was challenged. For example, the United States regained its semiconductor lead during the U.S.-Japan rivalry of the 1980s and today commands nearly five times Japan’s global market share. It succeeded by combining restrictions, diplomacy with an allied partner (Japan), and sustained innovation. None of those conditions applies today: Chinese support offsets restrictions, the rivalry is with an adversary rather than an ally, and China has caught up or even pulled ahead in many strategic technologies. In other words, the United States is using yesterday’s tools against a fundamentally different adversary; it needs a realistic, not hubristic, policy approach.

Two venture capitalists dissect why biotech burns billions while China runs trials in weeks. Elliot Hershberg reveals the "three horsemen" strangling drug development as costs explode to $2.5 billion per approval, while Lada Nuzhna exposes how investigator-initiated trials in Shanghai are rewriting the competitive playbook faster than American founders can file INDs.
