Hi everyone. I’m Stephanie LI. Coming up on today’s program · CES kicked off with doubling Chinese participants; · Guangzhou’s Nansha is set to play key role in GBA prosperity. Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours  The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's largest consumer tech conference, officially kicked off in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Over 4,000 exhibitors from around the world are showcasing a variety of cutting-edge tech gadgets during the expo - which is dubbed as the barometer that sets the stage for trending technologies each year.  This year, "artificial intelligence (AI) in everything" is dominating the headlines, with AI-powered personal computers (PC), AI chips, AI-driven smart vehicle systems and AI home appliances taking center stage. Over 1,100 Chinese exhibitors are expected to join the four-day event in 2024, more than doubling from last year, according to data released by the CES' hosting organization the Consumer Technology Association (CTA).  The AI PC revolution is the centerpiece of this year’s fair. US chipmaker Nvidia is expected to showcase several new GPUs at the event, including the RTX 4080 Super, the 4070 Ti Super, and the 4070 Super, with more gaming and generative AI performance. US semiconductor company AMD will reportedly debut what it claims to be the world's first desktop processor with a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU), according to media report. The NPU is designed to handle AI-based tasks on the desktop computer without having to send data to the cloud. Chinese PC providers are also the center of attention. Lenovo said on Monday that it will unveil a full lineup of more than 40 new devices and solutions powered by AI at CES. Chinese TV-maker Hisense announced that it will showcase a new line of ULED and ULED X TVs, some of which incorporate AI technology to further improve picture quality.  Another highlight of CES 2024 is vehicles, as a list of Chinese and foreign attendees are displaying new electric models, flying cars and autonomous driving technologies. Chinese electric vehicle startup Xpeng said it will debut its latest flying car at the event, equipped with foldable steering wheel and an intelligent cockpit. Industry insiders said that the increasing number of Chinese participants represents a strong pushback against Washington's reckless tech "decoupling" targeting China. With Chinese tech companies expanding their international footprint and racing to the forefront of cutting-edge AI technology, the country is set to have a first-mover advantage in the next round of global tech race, observers noted.  · China's economy is forecast to maintain steady growth in 2024, with an estimated GDP growth rate of around 5.3 percent, said a report released on Tuesday by the Center for Forecasting Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The report indicates that in 2024, the year-on-year growth rates for the primary, secondary and tertiary industries' output are expected to reach 4.5 percent, 4.5 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Consumption, investment and net exports are estimated to contribute 3.7, 1.9 and -0.3 percentage points to GDP growth, respectively. · China's Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday that the mainland authorities are considering ending tariff concessions for more products imported from Taiwan island as the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have engaged in political maneuvering rather than taking effective measures to remove trade restrictions since the mainland suspended tariff cuts on 12 Taiwan products. The ministry said relevant departments from the Chinese mainland are studying further measures including suspending the tariff concession for products of the Early Harvest Program under the ECFA, covering agricultural and fishery products, machinery, automobile parts and accessories, textiles and other commodities.
