These are the 18 companies that Xi Jinping has chosen to compete with the West

by

The recent one Technological Symposium held in China It was not one more meeting. For the first time in years, President Xi Jinping met with the country’s great technological leaders, Including Jack Ma, the co -founder of Alibaba who had disappeared from public life since he faced the authorities in 2020. The disposition of the seats, an important detail in Chinese culture and protocol, spoke for itself, gave subtle messages about the power of each company. Huawei and Byd occupied the central positions, close to Xi Jinping. It was a sample of the importance that China gives telecommunications and electric mobility. In a way it is an award and recognition. And beyond the protocol, the relevance of the meeting is in the fact that it has occurred, in an early sign on a change in government attitude towards the private technological sector. The convened companies reflect Chinese power in technology today. Some better known in the West, others still unknown but with a global potential. These are: Deepseek. The New Chinese star in generativewhich competes with OpenAi models at a much lower cost … and open source. Its presence is symbolic: China is giving great importance to the Global AI race. Tencent. The giant of Gaming and social networks have its action at maximum. The reason? Has introduced Depseek R1 in Wechatits “superapp” with more than 1,000 million users. Iflytek. Natural language processing leader in China. Its voice recognition technology is winning integers in the development of AI in China. Qihoo. Outstanding leader in Chinese cybersecurity at the domestic level, of an end user. It is a sector considered sensitive to the desired Chinese technological autarchy. Xiaomi. No secret: smartphones manufacturer that has triggered its relevance in the last decade and is an important example: the ability to innovate in affordable hardware keeping margins restrained. Will Semi. Specialized in chips for the automobile industry. Again, the type of key company for self -sufficiency. Or at least to reduce the dependence of foreign suppliers. Byd. World leader for sale of electric cars, ended 2023 even above even Tesla, although this recovered the throne in 2024. And unlike the Musk company, not only sells electric cars, so its total is much higher. It is a perfect example of the sublimation of the Chinese strategy: to dominate future industries. Huawei. Victim of the Commercial War, has managed to get up after the western sanctions and is reaping A great success with your phones in your gigantic domestic market. In addition, it maintains its position in 5G telecommunications and has diversify its business, with a recent opening towards business software. New Hope. Chinese “new hope” in agriculture: modernizes this type of traditional sectors through AI and automation. UNITREE. Robotics. It has domestic robots Of various types and prices, including some quadrupeds reminiscent of Boston Dynamics. This is a very interesting type of company: it is an example of a category traditionally dominated by the West. And now China also makes its way in it. Chnt. Key figure in Chinese industrial automation, a sector with a +++ priority in the country’s modernization strategy. Feihe. Holding company of production and sale of dairy products. What do you do on this list? Bet on digitalization and modernization. And incidentally serves as an example for other traditional and more analog sectors. Alibaba. The Chinese electronic commerce giant. Or one of them, because there are already several. In addition, it is the company of the enigmatic Jack Ma, which It had almost a missing five years of public life. This presence is a track of a possible thaw between the government and giants like him. Catl. World Dominator of the battery market and recent investor in Spainanother fundamental component for the energy transition and towards electric mobility. Transfer. Chemical group that is digitizing its industrial operations. Case similar to Feihe or New Hope. Koce. Leading company in machinery and smart manufacturing. Case similar to the previous one. Meituan. Giant of electronic commerce at the local level, with strength in delivery services. Compete with Alibaba nationwide. He has aggressively expanded his digital services in second and third level cities, but for the moment not in international key. GERTEK. Manufacturer of acoustic components and audio technology for manufacturers such as Apple. Again, model company for its ability to master important niches in the global technology supply chain. This symposium is one of those moments in Chinese technological history that can be very remembered within a few years. Especially if time confirms it as a turning point in the relationship between the Chinese government and its technology. Years of strict control, completed with The cancellation of the IPO of Ant Group And with the virtual disappearance of Jack Ma, they now change inertia with Beijing apparently willing to give some more air to their private companies. Two reasons seem the main causes: The rise of AI as an opportunity to lead a global industry with which to achieve definitive recognition to the position that China has occupied in the world. Competition with the United States in the context of a markedly nationalist and protectionist country and culture. Always under the premise expressed by XI: “Serve the country.” China is in full readjustment of its technological strategy: it maintains state control, but allowing more space to the private sector. Especially in areas such as AI, where speed is as important as innovation to compete. In the end the message is as clear as expected: Chinese technology can and should grow … but as long as they remain aligned with national priorities.

illustrates that Telecinco can only trust realities

by

Criticisms have not been good and audiences either. Finally, after only seven programs, Telecinco has decided to cancel the new ‘falling who falls’. A failure in Prime Time that certifies several issues: that The Montoya phenomenon It could be an isolated explosion, and that Mediaset intends to trust the genre that works best (the only one that works lately, seen what has been seen), the realities. Fifteen years without ‘CQC’. I made three decades that ‘who falls’ fell’ did not return to the Spanish grill. In this new edition, Santi Millán, Lorena Castell and Pablo González Batista commanded a squad of reporters who, send the new times, left the most successful corners of Iternet and the viral content: Paula Púa, Ana Francisco, Daniel Fez, Andy K, Carles Tamayo … however, from the beginning The criticisms were lazyand underlined the decaffeinated of the proposal: for some media, Like the countryhis problem arose from the current competition to the right of the program, more aggressive and with which, by comparison, “it is very difficult to transgress.” Hearings below expected. But it is that The audiences did not accompany: the maximum of Share It occurred in the debut on January 19, with 9%, and although it did not fall much from there (except 6.7% on February 9), they are unsustainable figures for Prime Timethat in the end they have resulted in 8.2% on average and 990,000 spectators. On Sunday night, always dyeing against premiere cinema in La1, they are a complicated space, but most of the time he could not even endure in front of the envy of ‘The Évole’ in La Sexta. Giro al reality. To take a breath, Telecinco returns to a known territory: with the start of ‘Survivors 2025’, which will broadcast three nights a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, this occupying the space of ‘falling who falls’). If we take into account that ‘The island of temptations‘It is broadcast two days a week, Monday and Wednesday, we have as a result a week full of programs of this type in Telecinco, five of the seven nights. Only Friday ‘are left out and the new version of’ There is one thing that I want to tell you ‘, on Saturdays. The Telecinco Baza. Telecinco has been trying to depend less on the realities to upload audience, but does not get it. To the battle of Access To stand up to ‘El Hormiguero’ He resigned a long time agobut its last two bets in that sense, ‘Chinese stories‘And’ Babylon Show ‘have been loud failures. At night, he has tried with style contests talent showas ‘Factor X’ or ‘Next Level Chef’ (the latter still in broadcast, but with Very discreet audiences), without reaching remarkable figures. Until 2023, this type of competitions still rented in a audience, with programs such as ‘Got Talent’ or ‘The musical of your life’, but but They have been missing from their grill for a while. Fled forward. This start of the year is raised for Telecinco with a commitment to what you already know that it works: the great audience data of ‘The island of temptations’, planting face to ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’ and around several times several times a spectacular 20% of Shareconfirm the Mediaset chain as the queen of the realities. All this in a context of loss of audiences for years (both in 2023 and 2024 made successively historical minimums) that has also led him to return Ana Rosa in the morning. Vasile 1.0. In fact, it is Ana Rosa in the morning, and the trail that leaves with ‘late’ in the afternoon the two great supports on the grill of the realitiesthat spread and echo what is seen in ‘Big Brother’, ‘Survivors’ or what it touches. It is a strategy that popularized Paolo Vasile, which recently He left his position as CEO of the Canaland that he instituted above all ‘Save me’ and his need to fill hours and hours of programming. Paradoxically, however, ‘The island of temptations’ is only generating material For specials and debates in Mitele Plusthe platform of streaming Mediaset’s payment, in one of the most risky and incomprehensible bets of a channel that, right now, returns to the safe.

The 16E iPhone premieres the modem C1. It is the principle of Apple’s goodbye to Qualcomm

by

For years, Apple has depended on Qualcomm for 5g modems of its iPhones. A tense relationship that Apple has always wanted to break, especially since in 2019 bought the intel mode for 1,000 million dollars. Why is it important. With the launch of the C1 as part of the iPhone 16EApple takes a key step in its hardware vertical control strategy. This your own modem will allow you to gradually dispense with Qualcomm. And that translates into two things: Savings in licenses. Better integration with your chips. In detail. The iPhone 16E is the first device to incorporate the C1, a modem that Apple is “the most energy efficient ever used on an iPhone.” The choice of this input model for the C1 debut does not seem accidental: if there were performance problems, the impact would be less than in the pro models. In addition … Compatible with low frequency 5G bands. No support for 5G mmwave (Milimetric band). Optimized for energy efficiency and battery life. Integrated with the processor A18 Bionic. Between the lines. Apple has been cautious with the launch. The C1 does not debut throughout the iPhone 16 range, but only in the most economical model. The iPhone 16 and 16 PRO maintain the Qualcomm modems with which they arrived. It is an interesting movement: Intel failed in his attempt to compete with Qualcomm in Modems for smartphones. And now Apple, with your experience in your own chips (series A, series M, etc), wants to break the almost monopoly of Qualcomm in high -end models. And now what. 2026 will be the key year. It is when the agreement between Apple and Qualcomm will expireand by then the C1 and the development of their successor must be completely mature if Apple wants to dispense completely of Terceors modems. At the moment we have a few months ahead to see the performance of the modem C1 and what is translated for the end user that change. Of course, the movement can be more than justified only with the implications for Apple itself. In Xataka | I have tried the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro.

Purchase in quality is more disputed than ever

by

The 16E iPhone is already here and, as it was rumored, it is a kind of updated iPhone 14. Sounds weird, but it is just like this: the design of the iPhone 14 ahead, similarities with the iPhone 8 behind, and hardware iPhone 16. Of course, a fairly curious combination. The price of this model is 709 euros, a quite less sweet figure compared to the 529 euros of the previous generation. The problem? The Secondamano market, the reconditioned and the websites that move away from the “traditional” offer even more appetizing alternatives. It is easy to buy a much better mobile for very little extra money. The second -hand market. Yes, navigating between Wallapop and other second -hand pages is a Latazo. But if you have some view and patience, in less than 10 minutes you can find alternatives to the iPhone 16E inside your own home. If we filter in Wallapop iPhone 15 With a maximum of 650 euros and “new” status or as new, there is a lot to buy. We find several stores (in case we want to flee from individuals) that sell the phone with invoice, guarantee and battery at 100%. If we deepen the search, there are even prevented them at this price. If you don’t care too much Apple Intelligence or gross power, you have a mobile with a more current design, dynamic island, double camera and a screen with more shine. If it is worth the iPhone 15 with respect to the new one, it will depend on the needs of each user, but of course it is worth stopping to think which is the best purchase. Looking for iPhone 16It is also not difficult to find them for about 750 euros. For just 40/50 euros more, we can get one seal and invoice if we have some eye and patience. The reconditioned. The reconditioned mobile market Keep growing in Spain. These are mobiles that have been used and have been returned or, in the best cases, mobile phones without using a packaging problem or that by logistics have not been able to be sold as new. Currently, Backmarket sells the iPhone 15 in “excellent” state by 663 euros. If we want it with a new battery, go up to 715 euros. Here there is a somewhat more notable difference with the price. So much that, of lost to the river. Let’s go for an iPhone 16. Non -traditional websites. Between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16E the decision seems clear. The only reason to bet on it would be a notable price difference. And it is, if we do not leave the traditional renowned stores in Spain. These are life insurance, but there are possibilities beyond. Currently, the iPhone 16 can be purchased for 750 euros On websites such as Shodutyfree, 150 euros apart from the iPhone 16E. Yaphone also has it below 780 eurosand a quick search is enough to find websites that in less than a week send you home. A difference of between 50 and 80 euros to access the iPhone 16, notably higher than the SE. It is true that, although these websites offer guarantee, to have the official Apple service supporting our purchase always sum. The question is whether to buy a lower model for practically the same money. Image | Apple In Xataka | iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15. What Apple Smartphone Choose according to your needs

There are more and more intrusions of Saharan dust in southern Europe. Now we know that fungi and bacteria are accompanied

by

Since 2021, Calima’s episodes They have been increasingly frequent and intense. In fact, in these few years, the intrusions of Saharian dust in Spain have doubled. We already knew that this was becoming A huge public health problem And that, at the same time, it was a key factor in fertilization of large areas of the planet. What we just discovered is, in addition to dust, there are many more things in that calima. How are “more things”? A joint research team of the Blanes Advanced Studies Center (CEAB-CSIC) and the Ecological Research and Forest Applications Center (CREAF) He has discovered that “bacteria and fungi from the soils of the deserts of North Africa occupy the skies of southern Europe continuously.” They do, in fact, “even long after the great injections of Saharian dust produced by the episodes of Calima.” Analyzing 30 years of rains. To discover it, researchers They have studied Rain samples between 1987 and 2014 and have compared the results with the soils of the deserts of North Africa. In addition, they have recreated the main atmospheric dynamics that are in charge of dispersing microorganisms globally. And this is important? The truth is that yes. Until now It was thought that the microbiota present in a specific ecosystem was basically derived from that ecosystem and its neighbors. Now we have experimental record that continental distances can travel without major problem. On a practical level, all this not only has an impact on soil fertilization, but also on the spread of antibiotic -resistant genes or allergies. Could it be that the growth of allergies among the population was linked to that growth in dust intrusions on the peninsula? The increasingly small world. During the last decades we have believed that new information and transport technologies have made the world smaller and smaller. And it’s true. What we did not know is that the world was already very small before all this. And that changes the preconceived ideas we had been handling. Therefore, it is getting clearer, that we will have to assume the complicated task of manage comprehensive all ecological systems of the earth. And we better be prepared to do it well.

that of 1755, the disaster that destroyed the city and changed science

by

Earthquakes in Lisbon can be more or less intenseto have greater or lesser reach and unleash or not alarm, but since the mid -eighteenth century all (whether strong, medium or slight) have something in common: in addition to stirring the ground, they remove the memory. Ease in the Portuguese capital is synonymous with 1755. of disaster. Of destruction. Of Thousands of dead. And also, in its own way, of regeneration. It is so for a very simple reason: in Lisbon it is impossible for the soil to be stirred without the Lisbon remembers The drama that their great -grandparents lived (and perhaps some more tátara) on all the saints of 1755, when in a matter of a few hours the city trembled, burned and sank. Literally. The tremor recorded yesterday afternoon in the Lisbon Metropolitan Areaof Magnitude 4.7 And to which two other mild ones have happened today, 2.8 and 2.3they are no exception and (as has already happened with another similar In August of magnitude 5,3) dusting the memory of 1755. A November morning … The history of the earthquake that He swept Lisbon In 1755, there has been thousands of times and in almost all chronicles a circumstance is highlighted that continues to fascinate even today, 270 years after the disaster: its date. The ground trembled on the morning of November 1, All Saints’ Day, with the devotees Catholics praying in the temples and large amount of candles lit in honor of the deceased. Maybe it seems silly, but ultimately it turned out A key detail. Thanks to testimonies such as the English Reverend Charles Davywho remembered that autumal morning prior to the earthquake as the “most beautiful”, we know that Towards 9.30 a.m. The Lisbon gathered in the city’s temples felt a rumble. The noise was so intense, so loud, that Davy believed that it was a carriage march. “I soon disappointed myself, I discovered that it was due to a type of strange and frightening noise underground, similar to distant and hollow rumble of a thunder “, He recalled The British. It was right. That rumble was not caused by the wheels and horses of the horses as they moved on the cobblestone of Lisbon, but an earthquake that the researchers They still study today. In July 2021, without going any further, Nature public An article that deepened in Its causes and tectonic origin. What neither Davy nor the rest of the inhabitants of Lisbon could know in 1755 is that the city would not be shaken by a single earthquake. They happened two or three tremors Of which the second was, from afar, the most intense. Today it is estimated that it reached a magnitude of between 8.5 and 9 On the Richter scale, almost double that it shook yesterday the capital and superior to the one that hit Morocco in 2023. From the Institut de Ciènces del Mar They clarify In fact, one of the natural events is considered ” more destructive in history from Europe “. Temples fell. Palacios fell. Public buildings fell. And houses fell. Earthquakes and something else 1755 Maybe it is far behind in time, but the Lisbon of then reacted to the tremors in the same way that we would do today: they sought refuge. A good part of the survivors of the first earthquake, regardless of sex or rank ran to the great open square next to the Tajo River. There Mr. Braddick, an English merchant whose testimony He rescued years ago The BBC was found to swirled. There they cried mercy to heaven. And there they were surprised by the second shock of the ground, which like Braddick tells, “The ruin completed” of the buildings that had already been damaged. It is not necessary to imagine it. One of the forced stops for tourists visiting Lisbon is naked Gothic arcade of the church of Convent do carmoone of the architectural victims of that unfortunate day. Just as if a drama in three acts were, the earthquakes that shook Lisbon’s foundations were only the beginning. The earthquake generated a tsamot with waves of between six and nine meters(It was felt Also in Cádizleaving thousands of victims) that unloaded violently in the lower part of the city. In less than an hour The water crashed into the Paseo Marítimo, where it surprised not a few Lisbon who had sought refuge in La Ribera. There is even more. The disaster was accompanied by fires that were probably aggravated by the overturned stoves and the vote candles lit for the deceased. Years ago the National Geographic Institute published A monograph in which the devastation generated by the flames, which lasted for five or six days. “As soon as it obscured, the entire city It seemed to shinewith such a bright light that could be read. You could say without exaggeration that there were fires in at least one hundred places at the same time “, Reverend Davy recountswho confirms that the fires lasted almost a week, “without interruption.” A tragedy and a change The result? Just a few years later Voltaire I pointed critically in his work Naive that the disaster had taken “three quarters” of Lisbon. Other sources They go further And they suggest that the tremors, the tsunami and the fire “almost completely” the Portuguese capital and knocked down around 12,000 homes. The balance is in any case bleak, just like the balance of victims. Depending on the source that is handled, there is talk of 10,000 Deaths, 30,000, 60,000 or even 90,000. A barbarity if one takes into account that at that time Lisbon would have between 200,000 and 300,000 inhabitants. Such was the debacle that is told that Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, Marqués de Pombalhe advised King José I be pragmatic: he played “rescue the living and bury the dead.” The 1755 disaster was not only felt in the balance of deaths, injured, missing and buildings, squares, roads and crumbled temples.

A university has created a class to help them overcome their telephobia

by

Generation Z have been the first generation of 100% digital natives. Have grown with a Smartphone in the hands as an extension of themselves and with permanent Internet access that allows them to do anything with just a couple of clicks. However, there is something that makes less and less: telephone. His phobia a Talk to someone by phone It is such that even a university in the United Kingdom has implemented a class to help its younger students deal with their “telephobia.” Don’t call me, I’m Genzer. A survey of the British Uswitch hiring and telecommunications platform revealed that 23% of young people between 18 and 34 years in the United Kingdom Never attend phone calls. One of the reasons is because, 56% of respondents assume that the call is associated with bad news. The increase in spam and fraud calls has also caused the youngest Extent the calls. Instead, others prefer Asynchronous communication systems such as text messages, emails or social networks, which allow them to think before responding, avoiding the immediacy and possible discomfort of a telephone conversation. Telephone, the new Z disease. According to He informed The British BBC, Nottingham College is organizing training sessions for her students in which trust and protocol are worked during phone calls to help young people from generation z to overcome their phobia to make or receive phone calls, a syndrome known as Telephobia. Liz Baxter, an advisor to that university, assured the BBC that “young people simply have no confidence” to use the phone as their parents or grandparents did, and that leaves them in a clear labor disadvantage. “Telephone -related anxiety is something we are often,” Baxter explained. Telephone anxiety. As he counted Zoia Tarasovasocial anthropologist to Fortunethere are several reasons why generation Z can feel apprehension when speaking on the phone. “This reflects a broader fatigue with immediacy and urgency, where people have tired of the culture of discomfort and obsession with efficiency. People are silently rebeling against this immediacy taking their time to respond to those calls “Tarasova said. Written communication gives them greater control over how they are presented and how they respond. They can edit their messages to reflect exactly what they want to express and find information before answering to avoid uncomfortable or misunderstood situations. In addition, young people fear not knowing what to say, mistake or not understand the other person well, and they are worried about interrupting someone or being interrupted, which they consider disrespectful. Telephone subject. In the telephone communication class, young people affected by Telefobia practice the roles of each interlocutor simulating phone calls to communicate effectively by phone. The objective of this class is to provide students with the tools and trust necessary to develop with ease in This type of conversations. They are taught to plan the calls, to actively listen, to answer questions clearly and concisely, and to handle difficult or unexpected situations. Some of the practical exercises they perform is to call restaurants to obtain information about their schedules or ask about products availability, so that their skills are improving. It is not a minor problem. Unlike Other technologies They can be more or less obsoletetelephone calls are a tool that is still very present in the workplace. That conditions very seriously to those who suffer from Telefobia since they subtract them Opportunities in the labor market. Casey Halloran, executive and co -founder director of the online travel agency Namu Travelexplained to Fortune that telephobia had become a very real problem in its office. “He has never seen anything similar to the generational gap” that exists between the older and young agents. “We have been doing extensive training, offering incentives, observing calls with our veteran representatives and even hiring a business psychologist. After more than two years of this fight, we are almost at the point of giving up and adopting the SMS and the webchat in Place to continue fighting against wind and tide, “the manager lamented.

An AI system will process a data flood

by

Madrid and other parts of Spain are being filled with cameras with artificial intelligence (AI). The City Council of the aforementioned city has been expanding its ambitious video surveillance system, focusing on points of great influx of public roads. But the expansion of these technologies does not stop there. In parallel, Renfe is developing an intelligent security system, where algorithms play a key role. Cameras in more than 400 vicinity stations. The rail transport company The installation has ended of an intelligent video surveillance system in 415 seasons of vicinity throughout Spain. The same has several pieces, among which IP cameras, CCTV recorders, video analytics servers and, as we said, algorithms of AI that give life to what they have called “spaces of high predictive security.” How does the new Renfe smart video surveillance system work? Traditional video surveillance systems depend on human supervision: it is the operators who must identify situations that require intervention. However, technology is reliefing this load when analyzing images in real time and sending automatic alerts to security centers when necessary. In the case of Renfe, the cameras are connected to the analytical servers of each station, in charge of detecting maximum afor and agglomerations. In addition, they allow identifying those who try to sneak into the accesses, falls in platforms or roads, fires and acts vandalism such as graffiti or damage to the furniture. The alerts arrive directly to the 24 -hour Safety Center of Renfe, promising to speed up the response to incidents. The rail operator recognizes that her security system had been obsolete. Although it had thousands of cameras spread over hundreds of stations, they lacked the technology necessary to integrate into the new monitoring system. To solve this limitation, the RS3 project (Renfe Smart Security Station) was launched, whose first phase has just concluded and whose second phase will begin in March. A millionaire investment. The project has a budget of more than 32 million euros and aims to modernize 597 stations distributed among the 12 Cercanías and Rodalies nuclei. The first phase, already completed, has been an investment of 25.8 million euros, while the second, which will cover the renewal of the systems in 182 additional stations, will have a budget of 6.5 million euros. Financing comes from the NextGeration funds of the European Union. What about the data collected? Every time there is talk of data collection, the doubt about the impact on user privacy arises. This makes sense if we take into account that European legislation is very strict in this regard. Renfe’s new video analytics system manages a large amount of data, but the company says it has taken measures to comply with the existing regulations. The system collects video images anonymously. Does not capture or record audio. Nor is biometric data. Processing is performed automatically with AI.
