中国阻止软银以54亿美元收购ABB机器人业务

Quick Look

中国当局以国家安全为由阻止Manus收购案,引发外资对在华经营的顾虑。ABB总部位于苏黎世,是中国最大机器人市场参与者,软银创始人孙正义因该交易受挫,其人工智能投资策略也面临质疑。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

随着技术发展在政府规划中的战略地位日益突出,中国对外国企业交易的严格审查让企业对在华经营产生更多顾虑。美国、欧盟和英国的监管机构也曾干预涉及半导体、量子计算及其他技术领域的交易。

在阻止Manus收购案时,中国当局以国家安全问题为由采取行动。外界认为,此举表明中国政府决心防止重要技术和优秀工程人才被外国企业收购。

随着技术发展在政府规划中的战略地位日益突出,中国对外国企业交易的严格审查也让企业对在华经营产生了更多顾虑。美国、欧盟和英国的监管机构同样曾干预涉及半导体、量子计算及其他技术领域的交易。

ABB总部位于苏黎世,与中国制造业企业有着长达数十年的联系,因此能够获取宝贵的机器人技术数据。中国是ABB最大的机器人业务市场,该公司为中国客户生产的机器约有90%在当地制造。ABB在中国雇用了数千名员工。

据最先报道这笔交易遭到否决的《金融时报》称,中国当局担心机器人相关数据被转移至海外,用于训练人工智能模型。

中国的干预对软银及其创始人孙正义是一个重大打击,他是科技行业最坚定的人工智能支持者之一。他把公司的未来押在这项技术上,并认为机器人是连接人工智能与现实物理世界的关键纽带。

然而,外界越来越担心孙正义过度押注人工智能。软银已向ChatGPT的开发商OpenAI投资约650亿美元,并向数据中心业务投入了数十亿美元。

The wave of retail investors fleeing for their lives is coming! Buyers rarely exited en masse, reaching a new high since the epidemic in March 2020

According to data from Vanda Research, when U.S. technology stocks plummeted on Thursday, retail investors sold a net US$338 million in individual stocks in a single day, setting a record since the COVID-19 epidemic and the largest single-day net outflow of funds since March 2020. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1,800 points and the Nasdaq Composite Index entered correction territory. Retail buying almost completely disappeared, leaving only leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ and SOXL still buying.

From "collective delisting" to "intensive return", large-value certificates of deposit are back

Major state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, urban and rural commercial banks, and foreign-funded banks have collectively restarted the issuance of large-denomination certificates of deposit, with interest rates as high as 1.92%. Mid- to long-term product quotas are tight, and many bank apps show that they are sold out. Experts believe that multiple factors such as repricing of high-cost funds, imbalance of asset-liability structure, opening up of price space and improvement of management systems have promoted the return of large-denomination certificates of deposit.
