China’s AI Bubble Bursts: $480 Billion Vanishes as Profitability Fails to Match Valuations

China’s technology sector has suffered a severe correction, with the STAR 50 Index dropping over 40% from its July peak and erasing approximately $480 billion in market value. While the initial decline began as profit-taking, it has evolved into a fundamental reassessment of whether AI spending can generate sustainable profits. Battery giant CATL illustrates this disconnect, posting 59% revenue growth but only 15% profit growth. Analysts note that while valuations are now at multi-year lows, a sustained rebound requires clearer earnings trajectories and stronger domestic consumption, which remains hindered by a prolonged property downturn.

Huawei Pivots to HarmonyOS and Domestic Chips as EV Sales Slump

Huawei is refocusing its consumer strategy on smartphones with domestic chips and a global push for its HarmonyOS operating system, following a significant slowdown in its electric vehicle business. The company launched the Mate 90 series on October 1, featuring its first 'LogicFolding' chip, while acknowledging that overseas smartphone sales have dropped to just a few million units annually. Meanwhile, Huawei-powered EV deliveries fell 29% year-on-year in September, contrasting with strong growth for rivals like BYD. Executives aim to expand HarmonyOS to international markets within one to three years, leveraging a growing ecosystem of over 400,000 apps to shift from hardware sales to a platform-based revenue model.
