LENOVO GROUP (00992.HK)'s adjusted net profit for the first fiscal quarter ended June spiked 176%. Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing said the group may achieve its USD100 billion revenue target ahead of schedule in this financial year with the goal to pursue even higher profit.

Lenovo CFO Winston Cheng said the group's medium-term net profit margin target is around 5%, while the long-term goal is to achieve 8% or above.

Yang said he does not see an AI bubble emerging and assumed AI demand will continue to grow. Demand growth for memory products is expected to continue at least until the end of next year. Lenovo is currently in a favorable position to adjust early-stage pricing in a timely manner when raw material costs rise.

Although the market believes the group's strong earnings growth is mainly propelled by AI demand, AI business currently accounts for only a small portion of the group's operations, with traditional computing still remaining the core business, he added.

The group's current server order backlog exceeds USD50 billion, while the amount that can ultimately be converted into orders will depend on supply chain capabilities, Yang said.

Yang added the group is cooperating with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) and plans to launch consumer AI PC products equipped with RTX series chips later this year.

Expanded partnership builds on the partnership in Zagreb and targets four additional cities in Europe.    

SAN FRANCISCO and GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology, and Uber Technologies, Inc. ("Uber") (NYSE: UBER), today announced an expansion of their strategic partnership, with plans to collaborate on the deployment of more than 2,000 Pony.ai Robotaxis across Europe.     

The partnership will expand from the existing commercial service in Zagreb, coming soon to the Uber platform, to four additional cities in Europe. Additional details about the rollout will be announced in phases and the expanded partnership also includes plans to deploy in the Middle East.     

The expanded agreement gives Pony.ai's joint-deployment model a clearer path to commercial scale. The model brings together three core functions required to operate Robotaxi services at scale: Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving technology, a leading mobility platform, and day-to-day fleet operations. It allows technology, platform, and fleet partners to work together in the same market, while individual partners may also take on more than one role. Vehicle funding and ownership can sit with different partners depending on the market.

Under the expanded partnership, Pony.ai will provide its L4 autonomous driving technology, rider-experience and operational expertise developed through multiple large-scale Robotaxi deployments while Uber will provide customer access through its leading global mobility platform, including booking, payment, and customer service capabilities, alongside its growing network of human drivers. Day-to-day fleet operations may be carried out by established local fleet partners selected for each market.

Pony.ai operates paid, fully driverless Robotaxi services in China's four tier-one cities, where it has achieved city-wide breakeven unit economics in multiple markets, validating its commercially sustainable model for operating Robotaxis at scale.

For Pony.ai, the expanded partnership with Uber marks a further evolution of its growth strategy, complementing continued expansion into new markets with fleet deployments at regional scale. The collaboration dates back to May 2025, when Pony.ai and Uber first announced plans to bring Pony.ai Robotaxis onto the Uber platform in international markets. In 2026, the companies worked with Croatian mobility company Verne to launch Europe's first commercial Robotaxi service in Zagreb, with Verne serving as the local fleet owner and operator.

"This expanded agreement marks an important new phase in the partnership between Pony.ai and Uber. It reflects our shared commitment to bringing safe, reliable Robotaxi services to more European cities," said Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai. "By combining Pony.ai's proven autonomous driving technology and operational know-how with Uber's global mobility platform and extensive market reach, we aim to build sustained commercial operations at scale across Europe and beyond."

"The next chapter for autonomous mobility is about moving from individual launches to repeatable commercial scale," said Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility & Delivery at Uber. "Together with Pony.ai, we're combining advanced autonomous technology with Uber's hybrid platform, on-the-ground experience, and operational excellence, to build a model that can quickly and reliably expand across cities."

The US has continued to step up efforts to tame Beijing's technological ambitions, but from AI to EV batteries, Chinese technology is becoming increasingly embedded in the operations of some of the world's largest corporations.

Apple Inc. (AAPL.US) has adopted AI technologies from BABA-W (09988.HK) and BIDU-SW (09888.HK) in China, while Ford Motor Company (F.US) is using CATL's battery technology. Volkswagen is cooperating with XPENG-W (09868.HK) to develop smart EVs in China, while Stellantis (STLA.US) is expanding cooperation with LEAPMOTOR (09863.HK) in EV production and joint procurement.

Analysts said a broad transformation is underway, with Chinese companies becoming a source of technology and innovation that global corporations can no longer easily avoid.

Kitty Fok, Managing Director of IDC China, told CNBC that China was mainly a market where global companies sold products five years ago. Today, in some industries, China has become the place where they acquire capabilities.

Nevertheless, Washington continues to toughen restrictions on Chinese technology.

Since placing Huawei on a blacklist in 2019, the US has imposed sweeping restrictions on advanced chips and chipmaking equipment, limited certain US investments in China's semiconductor, quantum technology and AI sectors, and added companies such as SMIC to restriction lists.

China has established a strong position in an increasing number of technology industries.

Soumen Mandal, Chief Analyst at Counterpoint Research, said automakers including BYD COMPANY (01211.HK), CHANGAN AUTOMOBILE (000625.SZ) and CHERY AUTO (09973.HK) accounted for nearly 63% of the global EV market in 2025, while battery manufacturers including CATL (03750.HK), BYD COMPANY, CALB (03931.HK) and GOTION HIGH-TECH (002074.SZ) accounted for close to 70%.

Mandal noted that cost, scale, manufacturing depth, supply chain integration and speed of innovation are key reasons global companies continue to work with Chinese firms.

He remarked that China's technological rise is shifting from low-cost manufacturing toward scale, supply chain depth and speed of innovation. He added that global companies are balancing geopolitical risks against commercial realities.

Apple Inc. (AAPL.US) CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday joined government officials including US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to unveil a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas.

The facility will provide free training and educational courses for businesses, and will begin producing Mac Mini desktop computers later this year. Certain areas will also assemble Apple's AI servers.

Cook said the company has established the factory and started production, and has already shipped its first batch of advanced AI servers. Production of Mac Mini computers will begin later this year. He added that Apple has invested hundreds of millions of US dollars in the facility.

Apple also highlighted products manufactured within the US. Cook said Apple purchased more than 20 billion chips from the US last year, including 100 million chips sourced from TSMC (TSM.US)'s facility in Arizona.

SK hynix, the global leader in HBM, is investing USD720 billion to build what it calls the world's largest memory factory network.

SK hynix's market cap has skyrocketed more than 5x over the past year and now exceeds USD1 trillion. According to Counterpoint Research data, SK hynix held a 58% share of the HBM market in 1Q26, followed by Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology of the US, both at 21%.

To support its large-scale capacity expansion, SK hynix raised USD26.5 billion through a Nasdaq listing in July, setting a record for the largest US market fundraising by a foreign company.

SK hynix also operates three memory wafer fabs in China, but US export controls prevent it from selling the most advanced HBM products to China. China also has emerging AI memory manufacturers including CXMT (688825.SH), whose recent Shanghai market listing has performed strongly.

MS Hwang, Research Director at Counterpoint Research, said that this is a race, and the competitor now is China. That will be a bigger threat than anything else in the world.

MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) said that one week after H3 was open-sourced, it has continued to rank among the most popular projects on AI and machine learning open-source community platform Hugging Face, and has already derived nearly 300 models. Downloads of the ComfyUI version approached 7 million.

The company noted that the open portion of the H3 model contains about 60 billion parameters, while BF16 weights require about 120GB of memory, way beyond the VRAM capacity of most consumer-grade GPUs.

Following the open-source release, the community has actively optimized inference efficiency and hardware compatibility, giving H3 the opportunity to run on more developers' devices.

Among them, a research team from NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) used Sol Engine on the first day of H3's open-source release to complete the first round of inference optimization within 4.5 hours.
