China’s goods exports expanded by 4.4% year-on-year in August, the slowest growth in six months, as shipments to the United States plunged more than 33%, weighed down by steep tariffs. Customs data showed imports rising just 1.3%, leading to a trade surplus of approximately US$102.3 billion for the month. China has now posted a goods surplus of more than US$785 billion through the first eight months of the year.
Exporters are offsetting the loss of U. S. demand by shifting focus to markets in Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe. Shipments to Southeast Asian nations rose 22.5%, while exports to Africa are on track for an annual peak, demonstrating that China’s firms are diversifying sales away from U. S. consumers.
India has emerged as a critical destination. August saw Chinese sales to India hit record highs, with strong volumes in electronics playing a central role. Firms assembling smartphones and components have increasingly used export routes into India, capitalising on shifting supply-chains that seek to avoid punitive duties in U. S. trade policy.
The gains elsewhere have only partially compensated for losses in the U. S. Bilateral shipments to America fell by about 33% in August compared to the same month last year; exports to the EU, by contrast, rose about 10.4%.
Manufacturers are accepting lower profit margins to maintain volume. Domestic industrial profits have declined in recent months as overcapacity forces price-cutting for export orders. Meanwhile, home consumption remains weak, undercut by a property sector in distress, tight credit for consumers, and muted wage growth.
Trade policy experts warn the durability of this export pivot depends heavily on external stability. Many countries receiving surging shipments from China are contemplating anti-dumping investigations; India, for example, has reportedly registered dozens of petitions addressing low-cost imports from China and Vietnam. Indonesia has raised concern over ultra-cheap clothing items appearing in its large urban markets.

Tensor is unveiling its Tensor Robocar at the Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport 2025, positioning it as the first Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed for individual ownership. The firm says the Robocar combines over a decade of proprietary engineering with an AI architecture engineered from the ground up to deliver privacy, safety and autonomy. Customer deliveries are scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Tensor describes Level 4 autonomy as allowing the vehicle to handle all driving tasks under defined conditions without human supervision, though manual override remains possible outside those zones. Some of its standout hardware includes in excess of 100 sensors ‒ 37 cameras, 5 lidars, 11 radars ‒ and features such as radar-transparent materials, a low hood profile, washer systems for sensors and intelligent covers to protect against harsh environments like desert dust. The AI stack is based on a foundation model that uses real-world and simulated data, with dual systems for fast reflexive response and reasoning in complex or rare scenarios.
The Robocar’s interior includes novel features such as a folding steering wheel and retractable pedals so that when operating in full autonomous mode, the driver’s control elements are stowed. It also supports autonomous parking and charging, offers continuous self-diagnosis even when offline, and uses a privacy-first data architecture. Data is stored and processed locally with encrypted access, and physical privacy controls — such as camera and microphone switches — are built in.
Safety and regulatory compliance are central to Tensor’s strategy. The company claims the Robocar is built to meet or exceed global automotive safety standards, including UN/ECE regulations, FMVSS, and standards applicable in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. It is seeking high ratings from institutions such as Euro NCAP, IIHS and US NCAP. Redundancy in sensors, compute, power, communications, drive-by-wire systems, and thermal management is built in to avoid single points of failure.
Tensor is headquartered in San Jose, with additional offices in Barcelona, Singapore and Dubai. It has separated from its earlier operations in China, emphasizing that its ownership and operations are controlled by US employees, though it has global investors including from the UK, Japan and Korea.

Hong Kong’s technology sector soared as benchmarks hit their highest point since 2021, supported by mounting investor confidence in China’s artificial intelligence ambitions. The Hang Seng Tech Index jumped about 4.2%, reaching a level not seen since November 2021, while Alibaba, Baidu and other major players saw robust gains on optimism around AI innovation.
Baidu led the charge, climbing roughly 16% in Hong Kong trading—its biggest surge since March 2022—as analysts upgraded its outlook in light of growing belief in its chip-development strategy. Alibaba also rose strongly; its Hong Kong-listed shares have reached levels unseen since late 2021, bolstered by its expanding cloud and AI-linked operations. Market watchers noted increasing activity in China Unicom and internal chip design projects contributing to the momentum.
This surge comes amid broader trends: domestic AI developers are accelerating roll-outs of proprietary chips, cloud computing investment is rising, and regulatory signals suggest stronger support for technology self-reliance. Meanwhile, progress in international matters—such as negotiations over TikTok’s operations—has reduced investor uncertainty, further boosting risk appetite in equity markets.
While enthusiasm is widespread, concerns persist among analysts over the sustainability of growth. High valuations have raised questions about how quickly revenue from AI and cloud services can scale. The technical challenge of chip design and the global competition in semiconductor technology remain formidable barriers.
