"The growth in Q2 was primarily launch-led momentum, rather than organic demand in the market, which remains persistently low," said Sanyam Chaurasia, analyst at Canalys. Live Events According to IDC, brands significantly added inventory in the June quarter, particularly through offline retail channels. Vivo and Oppo saw sustained growth in the first half of 2025, growing 31% and 24% on-year respectively, according to Canalys. Offline channels embraced new launches from the two Chinese brands due to higher dealer margins. Others, like Samsung kept a more measured approach ahead of the festive season, with shipments growing a marginal 2% on-year. Xiaomi's shipments were 25% lower on-year in Q2 but improved sequentially after a muted first quarter, Canalys said. Apple continued growth momentum, ranking sixth in Q2, with iPhone 16 accounting for over 55% of shipments.

China starts building world's largest hydropower project in Tibet
China's Premier Li Qiang announced construction had begun on what will be the world's largest hydropower dam, on the eastern rim of the Tibetan Plateau, at an estimated cost of at least $170 billion, the official Xinhua news agency said. Commencement of the hydropower project, China's most ambitious since the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze, was seized by Chinese markets as proof of economic stimulus, sending stock prices and bond yields higher on Monday. Made up of five cascade hydropower stations with the capacity to produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, equal to the amount of electricity consumed by Britain last year, the dam will be located in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo. A section of the river tumbles 2,000 metres (6,561 feet) in a span of 50km (31 miles), offering huge hydropower potential. India and Bangladesh have already raised concerns about its possible impact on the millions of people downstream, while NGOs warned of the risk to one of the richest and most diverse environments on the plateau. Beijing has said the dam will help meet power demand in Tibet and the rest of China without having a major effect on downstream water supplies or the environment. Operations are expected sometime in the 2030s. China's CSI Construction & Engineering Index jumped as much as 4 per cent to a seven-month high. Power Construction Corporation of China and Arcplus Group PLC surged by their 10 per cent daily limit. "From an investment perspective, mature hydropower projects offer bond-like dividends," Wang Zhuo, partner of Shanghai Zhuozhu Investment Management said, while cautioning that speculative buying into related stocks would inflate valuations. The project will drive demand for construction and building materials such as cement and civil explosives, Huatai Securities said in a note to clients. Shares of Beijing-listed Hunan Wuxin Tunnel Intelligent Equipment Co, which sells tunnel construction equipment, surged 30 per cent. So did shares of Geokang Technologies Co Ltd, which makes intelligent monitoring terminals. Cement maker Xizang Tianlu Co Ltd and Tibet GaoZheng Explosive Co, producer of civil explosive materials, both jumped their maximum 10 per cent. BROADER IMPACT The Chinese premier described the dam as a "project of the century" and said special emphasis "must be placed on ecological conservation to prevent environmental damage," Xinhua said on Saturday. Government bond yields rose across the board on Monday, with the most-traded 30-year treasury futures falling to five-week lows, as investors interpreted the news as part of China's economic stimulus. The project, overseen by the newly formed state-owned China Yajiang Group, marks a major boost in public investment to help bolster economic growth as current drivers show signs of faltering. "Assuming 10 years of construction, the investment/GDP boost could reach 120 billion yuan ($16.7 billion) for a single year," said Citi in a note. "The actual economic benefits could go beyond that." China has not given an estimate on the number of jobs the project could create. The Three Gorges, which took almost two decades to complete, generated nearly a million jobs, state media reported, though it displaced at least a similar number of people. Authorities have not indicated how many people would be displaced by the Yarlung Zangbo project. The Yarlung Zangbo becomes the Brahmaputra River as it leaves Tibet and flows south into India and finally into Bangladesh. NGOs say the dam will irreversibly harm the Tibetan Plateau and hit millions of people downstream. The chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu, said earlier this year that such a colossal dam barely 50km from the border could dry out 80 per cent of the river passing through the Indian state while potentially inundating downstream areas in Arunachal and neighbouring Assam state.

In charts: Where do international students study?
More than half of all international students last year studied in four countries: the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia, according to Project Atlas 2024, a research portal focused on student mobility. The United States – home to elite universities such as Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford – was the top destination in 2024, hosting a record 1,126,690 students, according to the portal, which is run by the Institute of International Education. But immigration policy changes in these destinations, including limits on international student intake, visa revocation plans and deportations, could reshape the education landscape. Strict visa rules Since taking office in January, US President Donald Trump has revoked and then reinstated the visas of thousands of international students as part of his hardline immigration agenda. High-profile arrests, including of Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil for three months, followed Trump's orders to deport non-citizen students with pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel views. In May, the administration paused the scheduling of student visa appointments overseas before resuming them in June with increased social-media vetting of applicants. The American Council on Education said the pause on visas 'would send a message that our nation no longer welcomes talented students and scholars from other countries'. International students, mostly from China and India, contributed $50 billion in tuition fees and other living expenses in 2023, a revenue stream at risk due to Trump's crackdown on student visas. Last year, Canada introduced a cap on new international student permits, leading to a drop in numbers from India, Nigeria and the Philippines in particular. The government said the international student programme had put pressure on housing and healthcare, and some institutions were exploiting the system, offering sham degrees. The immigration ministry said in January that Canada will issue 437,000 study permits this year, a 10% reduction from 2024 and down from more than 650,000 in 2023. International students numbers have been on the decline in Britain since 2023. A record 484,000 student visas were issued in 2022, but this fell to 457,673 in 2023 and to 393,000 by the end of 2024, according to data from the Home Office, the government department overseeing immigration in the UK. New rules banning international students from bringing family members with them were introduced in 2024 to prevent the abuse of the student visa system, the Home Office said. In August, Australia, favoured by students because of its large immigrant population, said it would cap international student intakes at 270,000 per year to address a housing crisis. Student numbers In 2022, there were over 1 million Chinese students abroad, with India in second place, according to the World Migration 2024 report. In 2024, Indian students surpassed the number of Chinese students in the United States for the first time since 2009. Indian students outnumbered Chinese students in the UK for the first time in more than a decade in 2024. Countries with growing numbers of students enrolling at British schools include Nigeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Where are students looking to enrol? Universities in the Asia-Pacific region are offering grants and admissions for international students. Japan's Osaka University has offered tuition waivers and grants to American students and researchers who wish to transfer. The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology has pledged unconditional admission to international students displaced from Harvard. In July, Dubai, which hosts more than a dozen satellite campuses of Western universities, said it wanted to increase the percentage of international students from 35% of the student body to 50% by 2033, as part of its drive to double its economy by that year.
