(Xinhua) 13:26, July 03, 2025
JERUSALEM, July 2 (Xinhua) -- The Xpeng G6, a mid-size electric crossover SUV manufactured by China's Xpeng Motor, topped electric car sales in Israel in the first half of 2025 (H1), according to figures released by the Israel Vehicle Importers Association on Wednesday.

With 3,164 units sold in H1, the G6 overtook another Chinese model, the Atto 3, an electric compact crossover manufactured by BYD Auto, which sold 3,009 units during the same period.

The next four best-selling electric models in Israel were also from Chinese manufacturers, each selling more than 1,500 units in H1.

These included the Chery's compact crossover SUV Omoda 5, also known as FX, the Lynk &Co 02 compact car, the MG4 small family car from SAIC Motor, and the Geometry C compact crossover, manufactured by Geely Auto Group.

Next on the list was Model Y, a compact crossover SUV from U.S. manufacturer Tesla, which sold 929 units in H1.

A total of 21,252 Chinese electric cars were sold in Israel during the period, accounting for 81.2 percent of electric car sales in the country in H1.

Overall, China remained Israel's top vehicle exporter in the first half of 2025, with 45,439 vehicles sold, including both electric and gasoline-powered cars. South Korea and Japan followed in the second and third place, respectively.

China is to triple the number of facilities it uses to forcibly harvest the organs of detained Uyghur people, it has been claimed.

Experts have raised the alarm after it emerged that the Xinjiang Health Commission, a branch of China’s national health authority, plans to open six new medical centres by 2030, bringing the total in the region to nine.

The expansion has heightened concerns over China’s treatment of Uyghur people, against whom the government already stands accused of genocide.

Beijing has also been accused of forcibly harvesting the organs of prisoners from minority groups and, in some cases, selling them to wealthy recipients willing to pay the equivalent of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of pounds.

An international tribunal, conducted in the UK in 2019, found that as many as 100,000 organ transplants had been carried out in China annually – nearly three times the number that its government reported to the international register.

China's 3D-printed mini jet engine triumphs in pioneering flight test​

(Xinhua) 14:58, July 03, 2025
BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) -- China successfully completed the maiden flight of a domestically developed ultra-lightweight miniature jet engine, which was entirely manufactured using 3D printing technology.

This achievement marks a breakthrough in advanced propulsion design and manufacturing, according to the engine's developer.

The flight test took place on Tuesday in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, reaching a maximum altitude of 4,000 meters. It comprehensively demonstrated the operational reliability and stability of the engine under authentic flight conditions, Aero Engine Corporation of China（AECC）said in a press release on Wednesday night.

The engine represents China's first-ever flight-validated turbojet engine in the 160-kilogram thrust class to be manufactured entirely using multi-disciplinary topology optimization additive manufacturing (3D printing) techniques, said AECC.

"This successful inaugural flight lays a more solid technical foundation for the research and development of future advanced aviation engines in China," it said.

The core innovation lies in the revolutionary integration of advanced design methodologies with 3D printing capabilities, filling a crucial domestic gap in the full-engine engineering application of this specific technology direction, AECC noted.

The research team pioneered the application of multi-disciplinary topology optimization specifically tailored for 3D printing. This approach, coupled with integrated component design, allowed for a dramatic reduction in overall engine weight and a significant enhancement in critical performance metrics, the corporation said.

Prior to the flight, the engine had already undergone and passed rigorous ground-based verification testing to ensure that performance meets all targets and the validated service life is sufficient, it said.

old technology Spain can do it in jet engines that power Airbus and Boeing Aircraft



The distance between Cincinnati and Querétaro is not measured in kilometers but in innovation for General Electric (GE). In these two regions, the firm is working on one of the most promising projects for manufacturing industrial parts such as aircraft turbines using 3D printing technology.
In the US city, GE develops the technology, and in the Bajío region, nearly 1,800 Mexican engineers fine-tune and assemble it in their laboratories for testing and prototypes.
Vladimiro De la Mora, CEO of GE, tells
Forbes Mexico
about the company's two 3D printers in Querétaro, which it uses to manufacture future aircraft turbines.

General Electric announces the departure of its CEO, Jeff Immelt
He explains that with the help of nearly 2,000 engineers at its Engineering Center, they will be able to implement these innovations in aircraft in approximately two years and sell them to leading aerospace companies such as Airbus and Bombardier.
“In Querétaro, we have two 3D printers for making prototypes. One aspect of the business we are currently developing at GE is the digital 3D printing of production parts. Our aviation turbines already have 3D-printed parts,” explains the executive.
General Electric produces these prototypes internally, but the idea is to have these machines and materials available on the market for any company within a couple of years.
“We have 1,800 Mexican engineers developing components and assemblies for our aviation industry. Of these, 350 develop software applications, analytics, and the modeling that can predict and connect them to machines,” he explains.
Predix, GE's crown jewel
The company's plans to drive these innovations are technically anchored in Predix, the true jewel in General Electric's crown.
It's the core platform, the technological core where it has poured all its knowledge of the Internet of Things and, with the help of its engineers, provides feedback and updates.
Predix is a global cloud platform designed for developers to create and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) applications. GE uses Amazon Web Services and may use Microsoft Azure in the future to host the core Predix platform.
"It is driving digital industrial businesses. By connecting industrial equipment, analyzing data, and providing real-time insights, Predix-based applications are unlocking new levels of performance for both GE and non-GE assets," the company explains.
In 2016, the aerospace industry exported $7.164 billion. In 10 years, Mexico went from tenth to sixth place among exporting countries for the US aerospace industry. According to the Mexican Aerospace Industry Federation (FEMIA), exports of approximately $8 billion are expected for 2017.
Given this, Vladimiro De la Mora sees a difficult year ahead, but remains hopeful for the sector.
"As you can see, there is some uncertainty throughout Central America, but we see opportunities for growth, and we are working to realize all of these opportunities in our Latin American markets. We expect to achieve double-digit growth in 2017," he says.

'Lack of Chinese car figures distorts'
02 MIN 30 SEC

Monterrey, Mexico (June 16, 2025) - 5:00 AM



The lack of vehicle sales information from some brands, primarily Chinese ones, distorts the market, said Guillermo Rosales, president of the Mexican Association of Automotive Dealers (AMDA).
 
BYD, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant, has thrust itself into the center of the global EV price war with aggressive cuts of up to 34% on 22 models this year. While the strategy has boosted sales—driving a 39% year-over-year increase in cumulative first-half sales to 1.76 million vehicles—the question remains: Can BYD sustain this high-risk, high-reward approach without sacrificing long-term profitability?

The company's dual ambitions—maintaining domestic leadership while expanding globally—are playing out against a backdrop of inventory overhang, geopolitical hurdles, and margin erosion. Here's why investors must tread carefully.

The Price-Cutting Playbook: Winning Market Share, Losing Fat Margins​

BYD's May 2025 price cuts targeted older models like the Han PHEV, aiming to clear swelling inventories that hit a record 3.21 months of dealer stock—more than double the industry average. While sales surged to a record 382,476 vehicles in May, the strategy has come at a cost.

Profit margins have compressed sharply. In Q1 2025, net profit fell 30% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, with gross margins dropping to 10-15%—a stark contrast to Tesla's 18% margin in the same quarter. Analysts warn that BYD's reliance on government scrappage incentives (up to $2,700 per trade-in) and delayed production cuts masks the true financial toll of price competition.

The gamble is paying off in market share. BYD's domestic EV dominance has risen to 17%, while its European sales—bolstered by the £18,650 Dolphin Surf EV—are on track to double to 186,000 units in 2025. Yet, the
underscores a dilemma: Can BYD maintain this pace without triggering a race to the bottom?

Margin Pressures and the Profitability Paradox​

BYD's strategy hinges on two risky assumptions:
1. Domestic demand won't stall further: Despite 39% sales growth through May, BYD's annual growth rate has slowed from 218% in 2021 to just 62% in 2023. With dealer inventories at crisis levels, overcapacity could force deeper discounts.
2. Global markets will absorb excess supply: While Europe and Southeast Asia offer growth, geopolitical risks loom. BYD's delayed $1.5 billion Mexico plant—stalled due to U.S. tariff concerns and Chinese tech-leak fears—has forced reliance on Turkey and Hungary, adding logistical costs. EU countervailing duties of 17.4% further complicate profit targets.

Average Home Prices in the US vs. China​

As of August 2024, prices for new homes across 100 cities in China averaged 16,461 RMB per square meter, or about $2,318.50.

In the United States, the average price per square foot is around $233, according to May 2024 data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This equates to $2,508.01 per square meter.

By this metric, the prices for homes in both the U.S. and China are surprisingly similar, with the U.S. about 8% more expensive.

of course you are propaganda man 2. Make houses cheap in China Again

Selling 2000-3000 cars and calling yourself in top 10 is laughable. Also quoting one month’s number is twisting numbers selectively. Show quarterly or annual trends and growth rates. Just 2% of cars bought in India are EVs by the way. That is nothing. When the market size becomes larger, Chinese companies will lose as good players introduce models that are much safer, reliable and with good after sales service.

There are no globally reputed investors in BYD after Warren Buffet pulled out. That alone shows the BYD show is suspect.

How Vulnerable Is India to Chinese Economic Coercion?

While India has taken a strong security stance against China, its economic posture has been cooperative. But India's reliance on Chinese imports may undermine its role as a counterbalance to China. The U.S. can help India serve as a counterweight to China by supporting Delhi’s de-risking efforts.

There is a huge undermining of Indian startups in frontier tech area that have been receiving hundreds of millions in global investments. These companies would produce a range of tech that would make India self sufficient quite a bit. The USIP article does not even examine the VC fund flows and tech development in India including the green hydrogen revolution happening. Pretty useless article. It is just a matter of time when India replaces homegrown tech for most Chinese tech. Capital, Capacity, Capability are all in India’s favor right now.

Not surprising when the CCP itself shows empty containers in its ports as export numbers. It is estimated that 30-40% of containers in Chinese ports are empty and round tripped to count as an export unit. This was exposed with solid video journalism by Chinese port workers and truckers who are struggling to feed their family due to much reduced export trade.
