Global Update | Automotive Chinese automakers are bracing for a slowdown in export growth in 2025, as the European Union (EU) enforces additional tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs). According to SCMP (South China Morning Post) The EU, a lucrative market for Chinese manufacturers, has imposed these measures following anti-subsidy investigations, prompting China’s top carmakers to rethink their strategies. To cushion the impact of these trade barriers, industry giants like state-owned SAIC Motor plan to diversify their offerings by adding petrol and hybrid models to their portfolios. This shift aims to sustain momentum in overseas sales while adapting to changing regulatory landscapes. Slower growth Projections from Hua Chuang Securities indicate that exports of China-made cars could reach 5.58 million units in 2025, a 14% increase from the previous year. While this signals continued growth, it marks a slowdown compared to the 29% rise expected in 2024 and the 58% surge in 2023, which saw China surpass Japan as the world’s largest car exporter.

What is Business Process Automation (BPA) and Why should startups and SMEs embrace BPA in 2025? At its core, Business Process Automation (BPA) is the use of technology to perform repetitive, rule-based tasks with minimal or no human intervention. It involves streamlining workflows to achieve efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in business operations.

One unique feature that sets Starlink apart from other satellite internet competitors is its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites: Faster Speeds, Lower Latency. Most traditional satellite internet providers rely on geostationary satellites, which orbit about 35,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) above the Earth. While this high altitude provides wide coverage, it also means longer signal travel times, resulting in higher latency and slower response times. Starlink, however, uses a network of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites positioned at an altitude of about 550 kilometers (340 miles). This lower orbit drastically reduces latency, allowing Starlink to deliver speeds comparable to ground-based fiber optic networks. For users, this translates to: Download speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps. Latency as low as 20 milliseconds, ideal for activities like online gaming, video conferencing, and streaming in high definition https://lnkd.in/eXdDY2WS
