Surprised no EV companies are on this list, yet Haier is. And the only car company on it is BMW.
These are PCT patents not overall Patents filled by a country or company.

for example, Huawei have thousands of patents every year but these ''6494'' Patents are international.

what does PCT means -

The WIPO determines the number of patent applications filed by an entity through its Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) system. PCT patents are filed by entities wishing to protect their inventions in multiple countries with a single international patent application. Some companies do not file for a PCT patent application with all of their inventions, so while the WIPO rankings are important, they may not reflect all the patent applications filed in all countries.​

Why could this be, is it maybe because China's economy is "collapsing" and has "peaked" already?

While the United States has been the biggest nuclear power generator in the world for decades, the American market has significantly slowed in recent years at the same time that Beijing has doubled down on deployment, adding a whopping 34 gigawatts of nuclear energy capacity over the last ten years.

As a result, China is

the United States (and France) to become the world’s biggest producer of nuclear energy within the decade.

In fact, it’s taken China just 10 years to add the same amount of nuclear capacity that the United States needed four decades to build.

Beijing is able to approve new nuclear reactors at a much faster clip than the United States, at a blazing rate of

Chinese plants are also much less expensive to build, in part thanks to preferential loans with particularly favorable terms from state-owned banks.

While the United States has recently taken pains to kick-start its own stalled nuclear energy sector, its

is so behind schedule and over budget that nuclear energy advocates are worried that it might derail the nation’s nuclear ambitions altogether.

For most majors at Tsinghua University (top engineering school in China), tuition is 5000 CNY (about 700 USD) per year and dorm rooms cost 750~900 CNY (about 105~125 USD) per year.

For comparison, my relatives in Shanghai and Heilongjiang (province with the second lowest per capita GDP in China) pay their live-in nannies 8500 CNY and 3500 CNY per month respectively (free room and board are provided in both cases). So cost of university attendance is a non-trivial expense but still quite affordable even for people working menial jobs in China.
Assuming you're an international student, Uni costs are around 25,000CNY-21,000CNY for the C9 league. Housing prices can be vastly different depending on the location of the university. Housing/Dorms room prices in Shanghai and Beijing Unis are incredibly expensive. For single person room its around 20,000 or sometimes even more, but usually there are more affordable choices if you decide to share the room with 2 or more people (usually up to 4). At Xi'an Jiaotong University, tuition cost for an international student (assuming you're not studying language or medicine) is 22800CNY. Housing is around 8000CNY for 1 year for a 2 person room and 16,000CNY for a single person room.

A friend of mine from a southeast asian university told me that exchanges to China are really expensive for short term programs. Even accounting for subsidies it still costs way more than going to neighbouring ASEAN countries. I think preferential rates for ASEAN would help in further promoting economic integration.

Xiaomi saw huge growth in Q1 YoY


highest ever gross margins. good sign for Chinese supply chain
Not sure if it's related but the rise in profit margins seems to coincide with the launch of Xiaomi 13, which many on chinese social media hailed as Xiaomi's first good step to become a high end brand. Seems like it may be working

Of course, China's education is not in the same league as ASEAN countries, nor should it lower itself to compete with them. Otherwise the SEA elites will keep sending their children to Ivy Leagues and not to China. Unfortunately, people still tie the value of education with the price, so a inexpensive exchange to China will be viewed as low quality.

The Elec reports that Samsung will increase the production of smartphones by Chinese ODMs or joint device manufacturers (JDMs) from 44 million units last year to 67 million units this year. That means outsourced smartphones will account for 25% of Samsung’s reported production goal of 270 million units in 2024.

In addition to an increased reliance on Chinese companies for outsourced production, the news outlet reports that 28 million units will be outsourced to factories in Vietnam.

The G7 wants to blame China for their economic problems. But the real issue is that inflation is pushing up the prices of Western made goods. The underlying dynamic in world trade at the moment is that the West is becoming more expensive because of inflation while China is becoming more efficient because of a vertically integrated supply chain. And unless they get a grip on the inflation issue the West will price itself into oblivion.
