China's State Administration for Market Regulation has recalled nearly three million Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, saying interior emergency door handles blend into cabin trim and are hard to find in a crash. Tesla must add warning labels and push an over-the-air update that lowers windows automatically after collisions. A separate recall was issued for almost 400,000 Xiaomi SU7 EVs over the same concern.
Greenworks has launched the MaximusZ, an electric riding mower that uses five separate motors: two to drive the wheels and three to spin a trio of blades cutting a 54-inch swath in one pass. Powered by an 80-volt battery system combining four 6.0Ah packs and two 16Ah packs for 56Ah total capacity, the mower is rated for up to four acres per charge and recharges in about 3.5 hours using a proprietary charger.
Chinese biotech firms and health-tech companies are increasingly partnering with low- and middle-income countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, supplying vaccines, medical equipment financing and digital-health systems. Examples include equipment financing in Kenya and Côte d'Ivoire, pharmaceutical production in Zambia, and vaccine supply to Indonesia and Mexico during the pandemic.

A history influencer named Qiao Yu released a video in May using questionable astrological calculations to argue that China's Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) never existed, suggesting the Song Dynasty actually began earlier and overlapped it out of history.

Taiwanese prosecutors in Keelung have charged nine people, reportedly including an Nvidia senior manager and two Supermicro employees, with breach of trust and document forgery for allegedly faking records to disguise illegal exports of high-end AI servers to China. Investigators found that of 130 B300 servers falsely documented as installed in Taiwan, 74 were actually shipped to Chinese customers, while 56 were stopped after customs officials spotted inconsistencies. The probe follows the March arrest of Supermicro co-founder Wally Liaw in the US over an alleged $2.5 billion scheme to route restricted AI servers to China.
China called off the August 24 launch of its Chang'e 7 lunar probe, pushing the mission to no earlier than February or March 2027.

The open Jabber/XMPP protocol is celebrating a quarter-century of existence, having been designed from the start as a federated, non-proprietary alternative to closed messaging platforms.

Taiwan's Keelung District Prosecutors' Office has indicted nine individuals for orchestrating a five-step scheme to divert Nvidia B300 GPU servers meant for Taiwan into China, bypassing Supermicro's export compliance checks.
