Has Hong Kong’s IPO boom hit a wall – or is a year-end rush still to come?

US or China? Why Kazakhstan refuses to pick sides as it eyes AI revolution

Chinese cars were becoming a common sight on the streets here, as brands from BYD to Changan made aggressive inroads in a market once dominated by South Korea’s Hyundai and Kia, said the driver who picked me up from the airport in a gleaming Changan electric vehicle.
