Ahead of the Xi-Trump meeting, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) CEO and SpaceX (SPCX.US) founder Elon Musk said in an interview with CGTN that he called on the two countries to lower tariffs and reduce trade restrictions, while urging the US and China to reach an agreement on a joint AI regulatory platform.

Musk said that Xi Jinping is an outstanding leader and that China has achieved tremendous development during his tenure. He also praised China's manufacturing capabilities, saying this is where the magic of Tesla's Shanghai factory lies.

Goldman Sachs published a research report covering XIAOMI-W (01810.HK), which launched the open-source MiMo-V2.6 AI model series on Sep 22-23, alongside the latest flagship Xiaomi 18 Pro smartphone series, and introduced multiple AIoT devices covering tablets, smartwatches and smart home products.

The broker believed MiMo-V2.6 consolidates Xiaomi's position as a leading foundation model developer and was positively surprised that its API pricing remained unchanged.

MiMo-V2.6 is among the few open-source frontier AI models supporting multimodal reasoning with trillion-parameter scale capabilities. Pricing for its real-time API and personal token plans remained unchanged from the V2.5 series, making it one of the most cost-effective Chinese AI models.

The broker believed the competitive pricing does not reflect weakening pricing power, but instead stems from Xiaomi's long-term AI monetization strategy, leading training/inference efficiency and strong balance sheet. The broker was also optimistic about Xiaomi expanding API/token plans and large language model applications within its Human x Car x Home ecosystem.

On smartphones, the broker maintained a cautious view on shipment volumes including the Xiaomi 18 Pro series, as the Xiaomi 17 series was already the best-selling flagship series while demand remains soft and faces price increases. However, the broker opined the 18 Pro series will help solidify Xiaomi's position as China's top-three premium smartphone brand behind Apple Inc. (AAPL.US) and Huawei. The broker maintained a Buy rating with a TP of HKD39.

Blending heritage with innovation
Advancing revitalization through joint community effort
In full support of SAR government's revitalization strategy

MACAO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sands China has long supported the Macao SAR government's district revitalization strategy, continuously leveraging its corporate resources and working alongside various sectors across the community to promote the sustainable development and cultural vitality of the historic neighbourhood. In 2024, the company launched the inaugural Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens, successfully introducing seven new businesses on Rua das Estalagens. Over the past two years, the programme has achieved remarkable results, bringing fresh commercial momentum, elevating the area's vibrancy, and rekindling community interest, with some participating enterprises emerging as viral hotspots.

To build on this success and further take the leading role as a large enterprise supporting local SMEs, the company launched Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 in April this year — comprising the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens and the newly-introduced Shop Rebranding Programme. The two programmes have attracted enthusiastic response from aspiring entrepreneurs and local merchants alike. An award presentation ceremony at The Londoner^® Macao Wednesday announced and recognised a total of 24 enterprises selected to participate in the revitalization programme.

With a history of over 470 years, Rua das Estalagens was once among Macao's most vibrant commercial neighbourhoods, embodying the city's rich cultural heritage and the perseverance of generations of residents and merchants. To preserve this unique legacy, Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 was launched under the theme of "integrating the old with the new, bridging the past into future."  Building on the success of the first edition in 2024, the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens continues to provide entrepreneurship subsidies to encourage a new batch of SMEs to set up their businesses on Rua das Estalagens. In addition, the novel Shop Rebranding Programme supports existing businesses in upgrading their brand image and operational capabilities through initiatives such as brand repositioning, shopfront refurbishment, new product and service development, and system enhancements.

Through this year's revitalization programme, Sands China provides financial support to selected enterprises, while helping both newly established SMEs and existing merchants lower the barriers to business start-up and transformation, enabling them to seize market opportunities. By preserving the cultural heritage and distinctive community spirit of Rua das Estalagens, the programme aims to create a vibrant environment where heritage and innovation can thrive together, continuously injecting economic vitality and fresh momentum into the district.

This year's programme garnered a highly positive response, drawing a total of 69 applications. Together with the first edition, the programme has received a total of nearly 200 applications to date. Applications for the latest edition were evaluated through a rigorous three-round assessment process conducted by a cross-sector judging panel comprising representatives from government departments, the banking sector, the business sector and community organisations. Following the evaluation process, 24 projects were selected this year, comprising 11 entrepreneurship proposals and 13 rebranding plans, spanning a diverse range of businesses such as dine-in and takeaway, retail, cultural and creative, fashion, travel photography, and pet grooming. Together with the outcomes of the first edition, Sands China's Rua das Estalagens revitalization initiative will have benefited a total of 30 businesses, contributing to the renewal and upgrading of the district's business landscape.

To support the recruitment efforts for both editions of the programme, Sands China has organised 15 free public events to date, bringing together representatives from relevant government departments, industry experts, and academics to provide practical entrepreneurship and operational training alongside professional guidance. New participants were given the opportunity to visit selected shops on Rua das Estalagens, enabling them to gain first-hand insights into the district's unique character, business environment and the condition of available shop premises to help them better prepare for the development of their business proposals. The event series has drawn widespread interest, attracting 1,300 participants in total.

Chan Chou Weng, representing the Secretary for Economy and Finance and acting director of the Economic and Technological Development Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, said: "On behalf of the Secretary for Economy and Finance, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for Sands China's longstanding commitment to supporting the Macao SAR government's direction of promoting economic diversification, as well as its unwavering commitment to investing resources and working closely with the community to foster shared growth and prosperity. Since Sands China first launched the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens' in 2024, the initiative has reaped remarkable results, fostering a group of creative, forward-thinking young entrepreneurs to carry out promising businesses. This year, Sands China has further upgraded the initiative with the launch of the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens' and the 'Shop Rebranding Programme.' On the one hand, it integrates the old with the new, revitalizing the community and creating business opportunities; on the other, they build on the past for the future, supporting merchants in their transformation and continued development. Together, these efforts exemplify the powerful synergy of the 'large enterprises leading SMEs' approach, providing concrete support for SMEs to enhance their capabilities, and injecting sustainable momentum into the local economy. I extend my warmest congratulations to all the winning enterprises. I look forward to seeing your creative ideas and business proposals translated into tangible business outcomes, bringing renewed vitality to this culturally rich street, encouraging residents and visitors alike to explore the distinctive charm of Rua das Estalagens, and contributing to the revitalization of the community economy."

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Macao SAR government for their long-term guidance and support for the revitalization works, as well as to the various sectors of society, businesses, and entrepreneurs for their active participation. District revitalization is a long-term endeavour that requires sustained vision and commitment. Since the launch of the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens' in 2024, we are delighted to see the programme empowering creative and passionate young entrepreneurs and local SMEs to turn their aspirations into reality, while breathing new life into the district. The key to revitalizing historic districts lies in fostering a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and modern vitality. With this vision in mind, we launched the 'Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026' this year to further leverage our role in supporting local SMEs. Through the programme, we aim to encourage entrepreneurs to bring innovative concepts to historic districts, while supporting long-established local businesses in upgrading their operations and transforming their business models. We are pleased by the enthusiastic response the programme has received, attracting a diverse range of businesses. This not only reflects the public's recognition of Sands China's revitalization efforts on Rua das Estalagens, but also demonstrates the entrepreneurial spirit of a new generation eager to establish businesses in the district, alongside the determination of existing businesses to evolve and embrace new opportunities.

"To translate this enthusiasm into tangible outcomes for district development, Sands China will continue to leverage its corporate strengths, working hand in hand with stakeholders across the community to shape an even brighter future for Rua das Estalagens and contribute to Macao's diversified economic development."

Lam In Nie, vice president of the board of directors and chief of the Ladies' Committee of the Macao Chamber of Commerce, said: "Since the Macao SAR government launched its revitalization initiative in 2023, Sands China has taken the leading role as a large enterprise to support local SMEs. In 2024, the company launched the inaugural 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens,' ushering in a sustainable path for the area. This year, the initiative has been further elevated, bringing new entrepreneurs into the neighbourhood while supporting existing merchants in transforming their businesses. Together, these efforts foster the coordinated development of traditional and emerging business models. I would like to thank the Macao SAR government and the wider community for their invaluable support. My sincere appreciation also goes to Sands China for its enduring commitment to sustainable community development, leveraging the district's cultural heritage and commercial innovation to strengthen the community economy, support the transformation of established merchants, and foster the long-term integration of traditional and emerging businesses in the district."

Applications for the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens were assessed through a comprehensive evaluation of factors, including innovativeness, market potential and business model, as well as the capabilities and experience of the operating team. Selected applicants must commit to a self-invested initial operating capital of no less than MOP 300,000 and each receive subsidies equivalent to one to two times the amount of the self-invested capital, with a capped amount of MOP 1 million.

Meanwhile, applications for the Shop Rebranding Programme were evaluated on the basis of the proposed rebranding ideas, their contribution to the district's renewal efforts, and the soundness of the financial planning. Selected merchants need to commit to a minimum self-invested capital of MOP 50,000. Selected applicants can receive subsidies equivalent to one to three times the amount of the self-invested capital, capped at MOP 500,000 per applicant.

To further take initiative to support local SMEs, Sands China has introduced a phased funding mechanism, under which selected enterprises will receive 60 percent of their total funding as start-up capital ahead of the launch of new ventures and the implementation of shop rebranding plans. This arrangement demonstrates Sands China's confidence in the potential of the selected projects, while helping to ease the financial pressure of the initial stages of business development — enabling the selected enterprises to focus on preparation and execution, laying a solid foundation for their long-term growth.

At Wednesday's awards ceremony, selected enterprises of Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 were presented with trophies, recognising their innovative vision, entrepreneurial spirit and contribution to the revitalization of Rua das Estalagens.

The winning enterprises under the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens are as follows:

Featuring oral histories, archival images and historical narratives, the publication documents the street's evolution and rich cultural legacy. It was honoured with the PATA Gold Awards 2025 in the Best Printed Marketing Campaign (Industry) category.

澳門2026年9月23日 /美通社/ -- 金沙中國一直全力支持澳門特區政府片區活化的施政方針，持續不斷投放企業資源，攜手各界推動歷史街區的可持續發展及人文精神。公司於2024年率先推出「草堆街創業方案大募集」，成功促成七家企業進駐草堆街；項目推出兩年來成效顯著，不僅引進新商業動能進駐，提質街區活力，亦重新凝聚社區關注，當中更有進駐商戶成功蛻變為網絡人氣店，為整個街區帶來融舊立新的新氣象。為延續活化效益並進一步發揮「以大帶小」營商理念，公司今年4月再度推出「金沙中國草堆街片區活化項目2026」，涵蓋「草堆街創業方案大募集2.0」及全新增設的「草堆街店舖重塑計劃」兩大項目，吸引眾多有志創業人士及區內商戶踴躍參與，並於今日（23 日）假澳門倫敦人^®舉行頒獎儀式，公佈及嘉許兩計劃合共24家優選企業。

寧德時代於2022年8月宣佈，在德布勒森建設其在歐洲的第二座電池工廠，目標是融入歐洲汽車與電動出行供應鏈，更好地服務歐洲領先的汽車製造商。首座電芯廠房於2023年夏季動工，到2026年春季，廠房內已完成最先進技術設備的配置。在2026年8月取得使用許可後，該公司已獲取全部相關許可，並滿足歐盟IPPC（綜合污染預防與控制）許可要求的所有先決條件，於9月22日起在電芯製造設施的前兩條生產線上啟動試運轉。

在核發使用許可證前，匈牙利豪伊杜-比豪爾州政府辦公室對寧德時代的廠區開展了定期現場檢查，以跟進此前引發當地居民嚴重擔憂的相關問題。主管部門代表確認，寧德時代已完成此前在許可審批流程中排查出的全部整改項目。

作為戰略性製造樞紐，寧德時代德布勒森工廠將為近年已在匈牙利建成大規模電動汽車產能的歐洲主流知名車企供貨。作為全球技術領軍企業，寧德時代在德布勒森落地了最先進的柔性生產線，以持續滿足核心客戶的各類需求。該工廠自2024年秋季起就已在德布勒森生產電池模組，截至目前累計產量已達537,000套。全部設施投產後，這座匈牙利工廠將成為寧德時代規模最大的海外製造基地，規劃產能達100吉瓦時。

在取得試運營所需的全部許可、達到所有先決條件的同時，寧德時代德布勒森工廠始終堅持與當地政府及主管部門緊密協作，將員工的健康與安全放在首位。此外，試生產期間也將對員工健康、安全及環境相關指標進行全面監測，並主動向主管部門提交監測結果。寧德時代的這筆投資不僅對德布勒森及周邊區域意義重大，也將對匈牙利經濟和歐洲電動出行供應鏈產生重要影響。寧德時代始終秉持透明開放原則，歡迎主管部門隨時到訪廠區檢查。

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) CEO Elon Musk said in an interview with CCTV Finance that he expects there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots within 10 years, possibly reaching 10 billion in the next 15 years and potentially 100 billion in the next 20 years.

Musk said that everyone may own dedicated robots to help undertake various tasks in future. One person could control hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of physical robots and digital intelligent agents.

Earlier this month, he expressed that AI will utterly reshape the global economic landscape and production models, and is expected to expand the size of the global economy by 20-30%, equivalent to an additional USD20-30 trillion in economic output annually.
