INTERNET: Baidu Sambas Out of Brazil

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Baidu's withdrawal from Brazil reflects a broader inability of Chinese companies to succeed overseas due to their different practices and local wariness about their ability to protect user privacy.

In what is probably coming as a surprise to no one, media reports are saying that search leader Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) is pulling out of Brazil. This would represent the company's latest failure abroad, and is really part of a broader string of failures not only for the company but China's internet sector in general. This particular group is quite good at milking th......

SMARTPHONES: Xiaomi Takes Big Step Into South Korea

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line:  Xiaomi appears to be gaining confidence of investors through moves like its entry into South Korea, but it will take at least another year to prove it really has the savvy to thrive over the longer term.

Newly listed smartphone maker Xiaomi (HKEx: 1810) has kept the world guessing these past two weeks with its on-again-off-again performance both on the Hong Kong stock exchange and now in the real world. The former is a reference to its stock, which did quite poorly in the run-up to its trading debut last Monday but has done a U-turn since then and posted some impr......

GAMES: Tencent Takes Gaming Act Abroad

分类：互联网, 科技    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Tencent's WeGame could stand a 50-50 chance of success in moving abroad, since the company already has a proven track record in games and will face relatively low privacy pr......

IPOs: Inke Pops in Trading Debut, Xiaomi Bounces Back

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Live broadcasting specialists Inke and Huya should do well over the next year but could face difficulty after that as popularity of such services fades, while Xiaomi's stock gains over the last two days look like a dead-cat bounce.

Following the unimpressive debut of smartphone maker Xiaomi (HKEx: 1810) earlier this week, live streaming site Inke (HKEx: 3700) is the latest high-tech listing in the headlines with a more impressive debut in Hong Kong. This latest deal follows the US listing for Huya (NYSE: HUYA), China's first live streaming site to make an IPO, w......

IPOs: Xiaomi Fizzles in Debut, But What’s Next?

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Xiaomi's stock is likely to be volatile over the next year and could move broadly downward as investors wait to see if the company's comeback has legs and it can move into higher-end products.

Smartphone maker Xiaomi (HKEx: 1810) seems to have become the proverbial lead zepplyn sinking further and further into the mire as it finally made its trading debut in Hong Kong. The company has been dogged by skepticism almost since the get-go of its blockbuster IPO, which ended this morning here in Asia with the stock's official trading debut. The question from here ......

TRADE: Micron, China Mobile Muddy US-China Trade Tensions

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: A court order barring Micron Technology from China and Donald Trump's attempts to keep China Mobile out of the US reflect blurring lines between business and politics in heightening US-China trade tensions.

Two new headlines are showing how trade tensions between the US and China are spilling over into the high-tech realm, while also reflecting a certain amount of confusion and twisting of the facts. Leading the somewhat misleading headlines is an item that has U.S. memory chip giant Micron (Nasdaq: MU) suddenly being shut out of China for a number of its products d......

IPOs: Pinduoduo Provides Fresh Face for E-Commerce

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: A new IPO by e-commerce company Pingduoduo could do reasonably well due to its rapid growth and unusual business model, but could suffer from a "flavor of the day" element over the longer term.

After years of basically having just two choices to invest in China's e-commerce market, investors will soon have another new and interesting option with the upcoming listing of a company called Pinduoduo. I'll admit that I was unfamiliar with Pinduoduo before reading about this upcoming listing. But that said, the numbers do point to a potential high-flyer in t......

TELECOMS: What’s Next After Resolution of ZTE Case?

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: ZTE will experience fallout from its run-in with Washington through much of next year, and could see an even longer-term hit to its global business as international customers start to look for alternate suppliers.

The saga of embattled smartphone and telecoms equipment maker ZTE (HKEx: 763; Shenzhen: 00006) appears to be nearing an end, as trading resumed in the company's stock following an official settlement with Washington over  illegal sales to Iran. The ending to this story certainly came with a big climax, with ZTE shares plunging by 42 percent in Hong Ko......

IPOs: Uxin Files in NY, Battery Maker in China, Mindray on ChiNext

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: New listing plans by used car platform operator Uxin, EV battery maker Amperex and medical device maker Mindray should all do well, driven by strong growth potential and their leading positions in China.

The latest IPO season for Chinese firms is kicking into high gear on both sides of the Pacific, with announcement of several hot new offerings that each has a slightly different story to tell. At the head of the class is a new listing for used car platform operator Uxin, which is aiming to raise up to $500 million in New York.

That's followed by a listing pla......

TELECOMS: China Mobile 4G Users Decline for First Time

分类：互联网, 新知, 民生, 生活, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: China Mobile's first-ever drop in 4G subscribers in April owes to the company's early arrival to the space, and reflects the broader market's maturation that is also adding similar pressures to Unicom and China Telecom.

Much ado is being made about new data from the three big telcos that includes a first-ever drop in 4G subscribers for industry heavyweight China Mobile (HKEx: 941; NYSE: CHL). This particular first seems to have been a long time coming, and really shouldn't surprise anyone too much. The fact of the matter is that China's mobile market......

INTERNET: Baidu’s AI Drive Hits Speed Bump with COO’s Departure

分类：互联网, 宏观, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line:  The departure of Lu Qi from Baidu could deal a setback to some of the company's less advanced and more ambitious efforts in artificial intelligence.

Just a year after being named as the man who would lead search leader Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) into a future filled with artificial intelligence (AI), Lu Qi has abruptly abandoned his post as the company's COO. Investors were clearly spooked by the move, dumping Baidu's stock on Friday to the tune of a nearly 10 percent drop, the kind of one-day decline not seen since the company became embroiled in an adverti......

PCs: Lenovo Blasted as Traitor for Supporting US Standard

分类：互联网, 宏观, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: A brouhaha involving Lenovo's branding as unpatriotic for not supporting homegrown technology is likely to blow over quickly, and spotlights China's continued reliance on foreign technology.

In a story that looks like a something from the McCarthy era, embattled PC maker Lenovo (HKEx: 992) has landed at the center of a controversy that's seeing it branded by some as a traitor for choosing foreign technology over a homegrown Chinese alternative. This kind of thing isn't at all that uncommon in China, where politics, business and everyday life mix freely.<......

CHIPS: Beijing Approves Microchip Deal, Boding Well for Qualcomm-NXP

分类：互联网, 宏观, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: China's approval of a small US chip merger shows Beijing is actively reviewing such deals again after a brief pause to show its displeasure over US trade tensions, and bodes well for eventual approval of Qualcomm's purchase of NXP.

Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing have thrown a number of major companies into turmoil, as the two sides spar over the former's attempts to form a new, more balanced bilateral relationship. Telecoms equipment maker ZTE (HKEx: 763;  Shenzhen: 000063) has stolen a lot of the limelight in that regard, as the company&......

SMARTPHONES: Struggling Coolpad Sees Moneybags in Xiaomi

分类：互联网, 新知, 生活, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Xiaomi is likely to quietly settle a copyright infringement lawsuit against it by Coolpad, which is opportunistically looking for some hush money before Xiaomi's IPO and can't afford a long drawn-out court battle.

In a move that smells of desperation, down-and-out smartphone maker Coolpad (HKEx: 2369) has filed a lawsuit against the up-and-coming Xiaomi. Anyone with half a brain will know the timing of this lawsuit looks quite suspicious, since Xiaomi is getting ready to make what could be this year's biggest IPO in the next month or so, likely to raise up t......

PCs: Lenovo Kicked Out of Hang Seng Index

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Lenovo's ejection from the Hang Seng Index caps its long fall from grace over the last four years, and leaves the company in an increasingly deep hole that may be hard to emerge from.

Capping its long fall from grace, PC giant Lenovo (HKEx: 992) has been officially booted from the Hang Seng Index, in a move that looks highly symbolic but also has some very real ramifications for this former high-flyer. It's probably too early to relegate Lenovo to the history books, but we can certainly say the company is down for the count with this latest blow.

As someo......

IPOs: Xiaomi Growth Charms, Losses Alarm

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Xiaomi is hoping to attract investors to its IPO through its recent strong revenue growth, but it could still be years before it becomes profitable due to heavy reliance on low-end, low-margin products.

Everyone is fawning over the newly released IPO prospectus from Xiaomi, the smartphone maker that is aiming to make what's likely to be the biggest listing of all time by a company from its class. Most eyes seem to be focused on the company's top line, headlined by revenue that grew 67.5 percent last year. But from my perspective, the picture isn't all that a......

IPOs: China Biotechs Abandon New York for Hong Kong

分类：互联网, 宏观, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Two biotech firms' abandonment of New York IPOs for Hong Kong is part of a broader trend to make Hong Kong and China more competitive for high-growth startups, and could ultimately boost valuations in all three markets.

We'll take a break from all the trade war talk as we close out the week and instead turn to another major development taking place in Hong Kong, where the local stock exchange has just rolled out some reforms with major implications for high-growth startups. Those reforms have reportedly netted a couple of biotech firms that were originally plann......

TELECOMS: First ZTE, Now Huawei Comes Under US Scrutiny

分类：新知, 科技, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: A US investigation of Huawei into possible illegal sales of US-made equipment to Iran is old news, and may be getting dredged up now to give Washington leverage in its ongoing trade frictions with China.

Some might argue that US sanctions against telecoms equipment maker ZTE (HKEx: 763; Shenzhen: 000063) are just the prelude to a much bigger story that could now be sharping up, with word that ZTE's much larger rival Huawei is being probed in a similar case. The subject at the heart of this matter involves sales of American-made equipment to Iran, which would ha......

TELECOMS: ZTE Slapped with US Sanctions — Again

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Washington's new ban on ZTE from buying US-made components is not as political as China is portraying it, and is likely to be resolved within a few weeks after ZTE takes remedial actions related to its violation of an earlier agreement.

An ongoing tiff between Washington and ZTE (HKEx: 763; Shenzhen: 000063) is in the headlines yet again, with word that the US has banned all American companies from selling to the Chinese smartphone and telecoms equipment maker for seven years. This particular story is filled with political overtones due to the anti-China stance of D......

SMARTPHONES: Foxconn Rises on Apple, Huawei and Xiaomi

分类：互联网, 新知, 科技, 经济, 记者博客, 证券, 趋势    标签： , , , , , , ,    阅读：    评论：0

Bottom line: Foxconn's taking of the smartphone manufacturing crown from Samsung reflects the resurgence of Apple and rises of Huawei and Xiaomi, and could ultimately force other brands to use such third-party producers.

Today we'll take a step back from the usual name-brand smartphone rankings to look at a new report that shows that Taiwan's Foxconn (HKEx: 2038) is emerging as one of those "industry leaders you never heard of", quietly supporting some of the fastest-growing names. That's the big takeaway from the latest figures from data tracking firm......
