Its the year 2050, Chinese scientist have discovered a gene that turns corn and rice into a tree, increasing yields by 1000%, world hunger has been completely eradicated.
News on China's scientific and technological development.

Chinese vehicle brands have been increasingly successful in Australia these past couple of years, led by MG (SAIC) which finished the year as the 9th best selling brand, behind Volkswagen and ahead of Subaru. If you merge MG and LDV numbers (both SAIC brands, but LDV has a different distributor) then SAIC finished 7th in Australia in 2021, behind Mitsubishi and ahead of Nissan. GWM Haval is the other relevant player at #14. A local distributor is going to be bringing in BYD cars here, so it will be interesting to see how they go. China's brands are doing well enough that they are beginning to stir up nationalist opposition.

Alibaba's DAMO academy made a world record in quantum computing.
The quantum laboratory of DAMO academy "designed and manufactured a two-bit quantum processor based on the new superconducting quantum bit fluxonium, which achieved a single-bit control accuracy of over 99.97%, and a two-bit iSWAP gate control accuracy of up to 99.72%. The world's best level of such bits is achieved, and the performance is close to the mainstream transmon bits in the industry (currently, the two transmon bit gates have a maximum control accuracy of 99.85-99.87%, completed by MIT and IBM)."
Two sessions presented by Alibaba DAMO on American Physical Society's 2022 Annual Meeting:
Realizing high-fidelity and low-leakage gates in a fluxonium processor:
Understanding and mitigating decoherence in fluxonium qubits:

The export vehicles are pretty bland compared to their Chinese market vehicles. I think before we see more exciting Chinese vehicles overseas, we must first wait for the dust to settle in the Chinese market first.

Bro, I wasn't expecting that to be true lmao. Now to do soybean, so I can eat rice mixed with soy sauce and tofu in my climate change bunker forever!
Even as late as 2015, you could still see a qualitative difference in design between Chinese and Western cars. Any such distinctions are now gone. Given how dominant China is in batteries and EV powertrains, I doubt there is any difference in the internals either.
CS35 and CS75 are already being export to the Middle East and Southeast Asian countries. Here are Philippine reviews of them.

Makes sense. It has a good precedent.
GM's SGE (Small Gasoline Engine) is developed as a joint project by Opel, SAIC, MG, Shanghai GM and PATAC, which is a joint engineering center between GM and SAIC.
Its been powering a number of Chinese cars since 2013 and US cars since 2016, many of them well known nameplates such as the Chevy Equinox starting 2018.
