CATL suspends production at China lithium mine, Bloomberg News reports
The Chinese battery manufacturer announced internally that the Jianxiawo mine would be halting operations temporarily, the report said, adding that affiliated refineries in nearby Yichun had been informed.
CATL did not respond immediately to an emailed request for comment on Sunday and Reuters was unable to obtain immediate verification of the report.
Reuters reported in February that CATL resumed operations at its lithium lepidolite mine in China's Jiangxi province.
CATL's mine in the southern Chinese province of Jiangxi has been a major contributor to rapidly growing supplies of lithium in China, the world's top processor of the battery material.
Reports of its closure in September caused lithium stocks to rally sharply.

Treasury Wine profit rises on strong Penfolds demand in China, shares jump
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Australia's Treasury Wine Estates ( opens new tab reported 16% growth in its annual underlying profit on Wednesday, driven by robust demand for its flagship Penfolds business in China and strong contribution from its Treasury Americas portfolios. Shares of the country's largest standalone winemaker jumped over 5% in early trade to A$8.06, its highest level in more than two weeks. It was among the top gainers in the ASX 200 benchmark index (.AXJO), opens new tab, which traded largely flat at 0008 GMT. Treasury Wine reported full-year 2025 underlying net profit after tax of A$470.6 million ($307.2 million), higher than the A$407.5 million reported last year, though it missed Visible Alpha's estimate of A$472.1 million by a whisker. Operating earnings for its flagship Penfolds brand rose 13% for the year, fuelled by strong demand in China for the iconic label following the easing of steep import tariffs that had kept it off shelves for more than three years. However, the winemaker flagged a shift in alcohol consumption behaviour in China as large-scale banqueting gives way to smaller-scale occasions, resulting in slower depletion of its Penfolds stock in the key market. "Our industry research over the year has led us to become more cautious on Neutral-rated Treasury's ability to deliver its Penfolds guidance in FY26 and FY27 due to China weakness," Citi analysts wrote. "Today's incrementally more cautious tone on this region could lead to some of the China bulls on the stock to moderate their growth expectations." Treasury Wine forecasts Penfolds operating earnings to grow by low to mid double-digit in fiscal 2026 and is targeting 15% growth in 2027. Meanwhile, Treasury Americas, which includes both premium and luxury ranges, reported a 34% increase in operating earnings to A$308.6 million, with earnings expected to grow modestly in 2026. Treasury Wine also announced an on-market share buy-back of up to A$200 million this fiscal year. Its annual sales revenue climbed more than 7% to A$2.94 billion. It announced a final dividend of 20 Australian cents per share, higher than the 19 Australian cents apiece it paid last year. ($1 = 1.5319 Australian dollars)

China's crackdown on lavish civil servant perks will ‘harm' the economy, experts warn
Adjacent to a municipal government building in Beijing, a normally bustling restaurant is now eerily quiet, at lunchtime most of its seats are empty. The recent crackdown on civil servants frequenting restaurants – part of a government austerity drive intended to crack down on corruption – has likely affected business and caused liquor sales to plummet, admits one waitress who works in the opulent establishment. In May, China released updated regulations aimed at Communist party members and civil servants, banning them from lavish banquets and other visible trappings of extravagance. But with more than 40 million people employed in the public sector, some analysts predict the new rules will probably hamper economic growth. The policy is 'undermining the impact of other policies aimed at boosting domestic spending,' said Guo Shan, an economist at Hutong Research, an independent advisory firm based in Beijing and Shanghai. Guo predicts the drive could cause China's retail sales growth to slow by around one percentage point in the second half of the year. The original guidelines were introduced in November 2013, a year after China's leader, Xi Jinping, came into power, with the goal of cracking down on corruption one of his signature policies. The renewed regulations outline more specific guidelines on official travel – both domestic and international – as well as protocols for hosting receptions and rules governing the use of official vehicles. In June, local governments began figuring out how to implement the new guidance. Some civil servants in Shandong province have been reportedly ordered not to dine out in groups of more than three. Cadres in Anhui provinces have been instructed to be wary of social gatherings and to refrain from treating bosses or underlings to meals. The renewed push hints that previous anti-corruption drives were not completely effective, while the latest effort could cast a shadow over the Chinese economy, say analysts. 'The latest anti-corruption drive will definitely harm the economy,' said Alfred Wu, a public policy expert at the National University of Singapore. There have already been reports of penalties for civil servants who overindulge. In June, two bank employees in Anhui province had their 3,000 yuan (£310) bonuses docked for attending a lunch paid for by a client. The lunch in question was a bowl of noodles that typically costs around six yuan in the local town. Baijiu – China's national liquor with an alcohol content comparable to vodka – has long been a popular choice among Chinese officials. But the spirit has come under renewed scrutiny after the recent deaths of three local officials in separate provinces, who died of alcohol poisoning. Among the hardest-hit in the liquor industry is Kweichow Moutai– one of China's most iconic and valuable brands. Known for its distinctive soy sauce-aroma style of baijiu, the brand has long been associated with official banquets. Since the revised regulations were introduced in May, the company's share price has dropped nearly 9%, wiping out more than 170 billion yuan in market value by the end of July. The intensifying restrictions reflect a broader campaign to regulate the daily lives of civil servants. As the government grows increasingly concerned about national security, controls that previously only applied to senior bureaucrats who might have access to sensitive information, such as restrictions on international travel, now seem to be spreading lower down the ranks. An online notice circulating on Chinese social media platform Weibo – reportedly from Guangdong Province – outlines new requirements for teachers' overseas travel, even if they are travelling for their own holidays. It states that even junior personnel must now apply for permission for trips abroad, specifying that 'foreign visits are exclusively for family-related purposes; personal leisure travel is not permitted.' In other regions, public sector workers must hand in their passports. 'I really don't understand why our county won't allow ordinary teachers to travel abroad. My parents were already at the immigration office, but they weren't allowed to apply for passports,' wrote one Weibo user, who said that their parents were teachers. Guo, the Hutong Research economist, said that Beijing was likely willing to bear the economic pain caused by the austerity policy. 'Since this is a political drive, economic concerns are secondary. And there are still many other tools to boost the economy should Beijing decide to do so,' Guo said.

In the time of tariffs, Nvidia and AMD cut unusual deals with Trump
Hello, and welcome to TechScape. My Spotify playlists are undergoing a British invasion this week. Here's what I'm listening to: PinkPantheress, Lola Young and Evita in London. Donald Trump announced this week that two US chipmakers would tithe 15% of their revenue from sales in China to the US government. Paying for the license to sell to Chinese customers represents an unprecedented deal. My colleague Helen Davidson reports from Taipei: The chipmakers Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the US government 15% of their revenue from advanced chips sold to China in return for export licences to the key market. The arrangement will lead to Nvidia giving 15% of its revenue from Chinese sales of its H20 chips, and AMD giving 15% of revenue from Chinese sales of its MI308 chips, according to reports citing US officials. The H20 and MI308 chips were banned from sale to China in April, despite the lower-powered H20 being designed specifically to abide by restrictions introduced by the Biden administration. Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, head of the most valuable company in the world at $4.44tn, has been lobbying the White House for months to open up sales in China, where the US still prohibits sales of Nvidia's most advanced chips over national security concerns. In July, Trump relaxed some restrictions imposed by Joe Biden's administration. The deal with Nvidia and AMD seems as much about personally appealing to Trump as it does about generating revenue for the US government. The agreement has all the trappings of Trump entering into business with the chipmakers. In a way, it's a version of a playbook other major tech companies have been trying out as Trump is dramatically changing the international business landscape. Apple announced a $100bn investment commitment in US manufacturing. CEO Tim Cook, who had made the journey to the White House himself, presented Trump with a glass trophy (including 24 karat gold base) designating the president a graduate of the Apple Manufacturing Academy, launched in Michigan the week prior. During his meeting with Cook, Trump said he would levy a 100% tariff on semiconductor chips, which could set both Apple and Nvidia back billions. However, the president said: 'If you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge.' Both Nvidia and Apple are likely to be exempted from the tariffs. Each appears to have paid for the privilege – Apple with its domestic investment, Nvidia with its revenue-sharing agreement. OpenAI launched the new version of the artificial intelligence that underpins ChatGPT last week. There are quite a few aspects of the release to consider to understand it fully – what the company is saying, where the AI race between tech giants stands, the model's new capabilities and pitfalls, the environmental impact – so I've rounded up the Guardian's coverage of GPT-5 below. OpenAI said GPT-5 has marked improved coding and writing capabilities over its predecessor. My colleague Dan Milmo reports: OpenAI has claimed to have taken a 'significant step' towards artificial general intelligence (AGI) with the launch of its latest upgrade to ChatGPT, but has admitted there are still 'many things' missing in its quest to create a system able to do humans' jobs. Sam Altman, OpenAI's chief executive, called the model a 'significant step forward' to achieving the theoretical state of AGI, which the startup defines as a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work – or, in other words, can do their jobs. Read the full story on the unveiling of GPT-5: OpenAI says latest ChatGPT upgrade is big step forward but still can't do humans' jobs The race towards artificial general intelligence is running hot, with tech giants pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the technology, but like OpenAI, Google and Meta acknowledge they have not reached that goal yet. Dan Milmo and Dara Kerr report: '[It is] missing something quite important, many things quite important,' said Altman, such as the model's inability to 'continuously learn' even after its launch. In other words, these systems are impressive but they have yet to crack the autonomy that would allow them to do a full-time job. Last month, Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook parent Meta, said development of superintelligence – another theoretical state of AI where a system far exceeds human cognitive abilities – is 'now in sight'. Google's AI unit on Tuesday outlined its next step to AGI by announcing an unreleased model that trains AIs to interact with a convincing simulation of the real world. Read the full story: 'It's missing something': AGI, superintelligence and a race for the future Sign up to TechScape A weekly dive in to how technology is shaping our lives after newsletter promotion How we know OpenAI's new model is not an omniscient presence that will lord over all humanity: GPT-5 is making some goofy mistakes. It struggles with maps in a way a 10-year-old might. Per my colleague Josh Taylor: when Guardian Australia asked the latest model of ChatGPT to identify the number of Rs in Australia's states and territories, it could identify those which did. But the AI also believed Northern Territory had just three Rs not five. When asked to produce it on a map, spelled the territory as 'Northan Territor'. Read the full story: OpenAI unveils ChatGPT-5 and its hyped 'PhD level' intelligence struggled with basic spelling and geography GPT-5 is a more powerful model than its predecessor, meaning it will consume more resources to answer each query. Here's what experts told Aisha Kehoe Down: 'A more complex model like GPT-5 consumes more power both during training and during inference. It's also targeted at long thinking … I can safely say that it's going to consume a lot more power than GPT-4,' said Rakesh Kumar, a professor at the University of Illinois, currently working on the energy consumption of computation and AI models. Given recent reports that ChatGPT handles 2.5bn requests a day, the total consumption of GPT-5 could reach the daily electricity demand of 1.5m US homes. Read the full story: OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5's energy use. It could be higher than past models Surprise: AOL, formerly known as America Online, was still offering dial-up internet service in 2025. My colleague Edward Helmore reports: The hisses, pings and screeches that introduced millions of Americans to the nascent online world are to be formally retired when AOL's dial-up internet shuts down in late September. At its peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s, AOL had over 23 million subscribers in the US, making it the dominant internet service provider at the time. Currently, only a small fraction of US households – about 175,000 – still rely on dial-up for internet access and web browser platforms. In 2013, Pew Research found that just 3% of American households used dial-up internet. The 2025 figure represents less than 0.5% of the current population. What once seemed ubiquitous in the US and UK is now a relic and only a partially important piece of the history of the internet. Many parts of the world that are now online never experienced – perhaps endured might be the more apt word – dial-up internet. They jumped straight to broadband, wifi or the mobile internet, a phenomenon known as technological leapfrogging. If you're feeling nostalgic for the early days of the internet, though, you can listen to the classic, grating sound of dialing into the web via Wikipedia's page on the subject.
