China's leading EV battery makers, CATL and Gotion High-tech, are expanding into shipbuilding to support Beijing's dominance in the industry. CATL plans to launch a pure electric vessel in three years, while Gotion's battery packs power a ship with 132 standard containers. China's shipbuilding firms held 65% of global orders in 2025. The US and South Korea are also increasing efforts in shipbuilding. Jiangnan Shipyard plans to build the world's first nuclear-powered container vessel by 2035.
Huawei's latest Mate 80 series handset is powered by the Kirin 9030 chip, manufactured by China's SMIC using an improved 7nm process. Despite advancements, it remains less advanced than TSMC and Samsung's 5nm processes. The chip uses SMIC's N+3 process, an extension of its previous 7nm node. TechInsights reported these findings, noting China's addition of TechInsights to its unreliable entity list in October.
