Shenzhen hosts first promotion event for 2025 Global AI Machines and Electronics Expo
Over 100 representatives from government, industry, and international trade associations attended the event.
The event introduced AIE to key enterprises in Shenzhen and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, unveiling significant support policies for exhibitors and fostering collaboration opportunities.
Themed 'Bay Area Intelligent Manufacturing, Global Sharing,' AIE matches the world's top three branded exhibitions. It will showcase cutting-edge technologies, debut innovative products, and host global think tank experts and entrepreneurs to discuss future trends.
Sun Bin, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, emphasized the challenges Chinese enterprises face in overseas exhibitions due to complex global dynamics. He highlighted the urgent need for market expansion and order acquisition, noting AIE's timely launch.
Sun announced substantial subsidies -- industry giants can receive up to 1,000 square meters of booth space (2.3 million yuan), and other leading firms up to 500 square meters (1.15 million yuan).
Liu Ying, secretary-general of AIE organizing committee, provided a detailed overview of the expo. The AIE reflects the rise of China's high-end manufacturing and the Greater Bay Area's global tech prominence, with its innovation index ranking second worldwide for five consecutive years.
Chai Zhengmao, director of Shenzhen's Exhibition Industry Management Office, said the city will provide full support for local enterprises participating in the AIE.
Shenzhen will collaborate with organizers to arrange production base tours and supply-demand matching activities, Chai added, urging enterprises to maximize their respective participation outcomes.
During interactive discussions, the enterprise and trade association representatives expressed strong enthusiasm. They raised questions on buyer invitation precision, visa facilitation, exhibit customs clearance, booth application details, association involvement, and promotional coordination.
Xie Jianhua, president of the U.S.-China E-Commerce Trade Association, praised the AIE as an opportunity for Chinese firms to build an independent global platform, addressing pain points in overseas exhibitions. Representatives from Baypin Group, Foxconn, Sunwoda, Konka, and industry associations voiced their intent to participate in the AIE.
For logistics, exhibitors with AIE credentials will enjoy 24-hour smooth border access between Macao and Zhuhai, supported by frequent shuttle bus services, said Liu Ying.
Sun Bin reaffirmed Guangdong's commitment to supporting the AIE by providing optimal services and addressing practical issues, such as visa facilitation.
The promotion event marks a key milestone in AIE's preparations. Supported by government, industry associations, and enterprises, the AIE is poised to become a world-class technology expo rooted in the Greater Bay Area with global reach.
Scheduled for December 4-6 this year in Macao and Zhuhai, the AIE will feature six themed pavilions, including Intelligent Communication and IoT and Intelligent Equipment and Industrial Internet, spanning 70,000 square meters with approximately 1,000 exhibitors.

Analysis-Industrial pruning won't pull China out of deflation as quickly as last time
BEIJING (Reuters) -China's hardened rhetoric against price wars among producers is raising expectations Beijing may be about to kick off industrial capacity cuts in a long-awaited, but challenging, campaign against deflation that carries risks to economic growth. Communist Party leaders pledged this month to step up regulation of aggressive price-cutting, with state media running its harshest warnings yet against what it describes as a form of industrial competition that damages the economy. These signals echo Beijing's supply-side reforms a decade ago to reduce the production of steel, cement, glass and coal, which were crucial to ending a period of 54 consecutive months of falling factory gate prices. This time, however, the fight against deflation will be much more complicated and poses risks to employment and growth, economists say. The trade war with the U.S. meanwhile is intensifying price wars, squeezing factory profits. Challenges Beijing didn't face last decade include high private ownership, misaligned incentives at local and national level, and limited stimulus options in other economic sectors to absorb the job losses resulting from any capacity cuts. Beijing sees employment as key to social stability. Exporters and even the state sector are already shedding jobs and cutting wages, while youth unemployment runs at 14.5%. "This round of supply-side reform is far, far more difficult than the one in 2015," said He-Ling Shi, economics professor at Monash University in Melbourne. "The likelihood of failure is very high and if it does fail, it would mean that China's overall economic growth rate will decline." Economists expect that any efforts by Beijing to reduce capacity will be undertaken in small, cautious, steps, with officials - keen to achieve annual economic growth of roughly 5% - keeping a close eye on spillover effects. An expected end-July meeting of the Politburo, a decision-making body of the Party, might issue more industry guidelines, although the conclave rarely delivers a detailed implementation roadmap. Analysts expect Beijing to first target the high-end industries that it once billed as the "new three" growth drivers, but which state media now singles out for fighting price wars: autos, batteries and solar panels. Their expansion accelerated in the 2020s as China redirected resources from the crisis-hit property sector to advanced manufacturing to move the world's No.2 economy up the value-chain. But China's industrial complex, a third of global manufacturing, looks bloated across the board. Most sectors have capacity utilisation rates below the 80% "healthy" level, Societe Generale analysts said, blaming weak domestic demand and an investment-driven growth model that favours producers over consumers. U.S. and EU officials have repeatedly complained that this model is flooding global markets with cheap goods made in China and endangers their domestic industries. A foreign chemicals company manager surnamed Jiang, who asked for partial anonymity to discuss the industry, said overcapacity in her sector was evident as early as 2023, yet firms continue to expand. "If money is cheap and abundant, any company thinks it won't go bankrupt and can crush competitors to death," Jiang said. LOCAL INCENTIVES For all the state support manufacturers receive, most are privately owned, unlike the raw material producers Beijing trimmed last decade, largely through blunt administrative orders. Reducing capacity now requires a less predictable process of curbing subsidies, cheap land supply, preferential loans or tax rebates, then letting markets pick winners and losers. But the local officials who would have to implement this have the opposite incentive: developing industry champions that draw supply chain investments and employment to their region. "Local governments, in their efforts to transform the local economy, encouraged firms to invest in these new sectors," like solar or batteries, a policy adviser said on condition of anonymity due to the topic's sensitivity. "There's nothing inherently wrong with transformation and upgrading, but the problem is that everyone is targeting the same few sectors," said the adviser, adding that the U.S. trade war has exposed such industries as being "too big." Yan Se, deputy director of the Institute of Economic Policy at Peking University, said local government resistance would turn "important and necessary" capacity cuts into a long-term, gradual process that won't end deflationary pressure on its own. Stimulating demand would work better, Yan told a conference last week. FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES Producer prices dropped for the 33rd month in June. China faces a painful trade-off between a deeper and shorter stretch of price falls as output cuts trigger job losses and a longer run of overcapacity and deflation that delays the blow to employment, economists say. Macquarie estimates last decade's reforms chopped tens of millions of jobs. But an ambitious project to redevelop shanty-towns across China, estimated by Morgan Stanley at 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion), offered displaced workers new ones. Manufacturing is now much less labour intensive. Still, jobs will be lost, and "there's no way" other economic sectors, also facing weak consumer demand, can absorb the shock, said Monash University's Shi. In another echo from last decade, high-level talk of urban redevelopment re-emerged last week. But any new investment in that area would likely be too small to compensate for lost industrial activity and jobs. "I don't think we can expect real estate to digest job losses from supply-side reforms anymore," said John Lam, head of Greater China property research at UBS. "It was used for that in the past and it created overcapacity in our sector," said Lam. Authorities "don't seem to be going in that direction, which I think is correct."

Instead of selling to Meta, AI chip startup FuriosaAI signed a huge customer
South Korean AI chip startup FuriosaAI announced a partnership on Tuesday to supply its AI chip, RNGD, to enterprises using LG AI Research's recently unveiled EXAONE platform. RNGD is optimized for running large language models (LLMs) and just last week, the Korean tech giant LG unveiled its next-generation hybrid AI model EXAONE 4.0. The collaboration targets key sectors, including electronics, finance, telecommunications, and biotechnology, for a range of diverse applications. This news comes roughly three months after FuriosaAI declined Meta's $800 million acquisition offer, opting to remain independent. The deal fell through due to disagreements over post-acquisition business strategy and organizational structure, rather than price issues, according to local media outlets. Meta's interest in acquiring AI chipmakers like FuriosaAI reflects its broader strategy to reduce its reliance on third-party suppliers, such as Nvidia. When asked why the deal with Meta fell through, CEO of FuriosaAI June Paik told TechCrunch: 'We want to continue our mission, and I think it's an exciting opportunity at the same time. I believe it's a very impactful contribution, both personally and for the company, to make AI computing more sustainable.' With M&A (at least from Meta) off the table, Paik declined to specify if the startup is now in pursuit of fresh funding. However, Paik says this new partnership will lead to business possibilities far beyond South Korea. 'LG AI's EXAONE is regarded as the leading sovereign AI model in South Korea. It won't be used just within LG. It will be one of the main AI models used in the Korean AI ecosystem. We expect there will be many demands for this EXAONE, as well as for our chip solutions in South Korea, but not only in Korea. The LG team is also partnering with and doing business with global customers. So, we also expect this to be used by those customers, including global customers,' Paik said. LG AI's decision to adopt Furiosa's AI chip and accelerator is notable for another reason: it's one of the few public endorsements of a rival to Nvidia by a major enterprise, Paik said. One major reason for the win is that the startup's hardware costs less. 'We had to prove that our solution not only delivers strong performance but also lowers total cost of ownership,' Paik said. FuriosaAI claims that its RNGD accelerator outperformed competitive GPUs with LG AI Research's EXAONE models, delivering 2.25 times better inference performance. Paik also says that LG found the FuriosaAI hardware was more energy efficiency. Furiosa's chip is not a general GPU but was built exclusively for AI. 'We can support a wide variety of AI models efficiently. But unlike GPUs, which are still fundamentally general-purpose processors, our architecture is natively built for AI computing. We do not develop our chip for rendering or mining,' Paik said. The Seoul-based startup, which also operates an office in Santa Clara, has a global team of just 15 employees.
