Huawei Technologies, a formidable player in fields from smartphones to electric vehicles, is also looming large in China’s fragmented robotics industry amid the country’s drive to be a global leader in the field. The Shenzhen-based telecommunications giant, which is the face of China’s self-sufficiency drive to break US sanctions, last week injected 3 billion yuan (US$413 million) into a subsidiary called Dongguan Jimu Machinery, according to corporate database Qichacha. The move to increase the capital base of the fully-owned unit to 3.89 billion yuan from 870 million yuan has fanned speculation that Huawei is gearing up to enter the robotics industry. Huawei has not publicly disclosed Jimu’s business activities and declined to comment when contacted on Tuesday. Public corporate data showed that Jimu is engaged in electronics component manufacturing. Jimu is headed by Li Jianguo, an executive director at Huawei and the president of its manufacturing department, according to Qichacha. Huawei’s increased investment in Jimu comes a month after it opened an embodied artificial intelligence (AI) centre in Shenzhen, focused on integrating AI into physical entities like robots.

Hundreds of U.S. Steel workers gathered in the frigid cold at the Clairton Coke Works Thursday to rally support for the company’s sale to Japan-based Nippon Steel. Hundreds more appeared via video screens at various U.S. Steel plants across the country. After a number of those U.S. Steel representatives and workers spoke, several leaders from the Mon Valley towns where U.S. facilities reside took the stage. And one after another they called out the national politicians who they claimed were abandoning them. West Mifflin’s Mayor Chris Kelly specifically mentioned Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senators who have opposed the deal and were absent on Thursday. “Once they get elected, they fly away,” he said. “Where is Fetterman? Where was Casey before he lost? Where's McCormick?” Both President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have also opposed the deal. Federal regulators are expected to make a decision within the next week or two about whether the deal would pose a threat to national security. While some earlier speakers called out Biden, North Braddock Mayor Cletus Lee said that many of the workers at the rally had voted for Trump and suggested that Trump had abandoned them too. He called on the president-elect to visit the towns and workers with an interest in the sale and rethink his opposition. “The bottom line is you made a promise. What you're going to do for these men and women who work here at the mill as well as these communities,” he said. “Look at what you're getting ready to destroy. ” Some speakers took aim at United Steelworkers union leaders, who have maintained opposition to the deal. USW president Dave McCall has continued to say that there aren’t enough guarantees in writing for the company’s union workers. Kurt Barshick, the vice president of U.S. Steel’s Mon Valley Works, said that the hundreds of workers who showed up for the rally were the true voices of the company’s union workers, and that they favored the deal. He suggested that union leadership was overly focused on a separate, less generous acquisition offer made by Cleveland Cliffs Steel. “These are the men and the women that the leaders in Washington, D.C., need to hear from,” Barshick said. “They don't need to hear from the Cleveland Cliffs fan club on the 12th floor of the USW office. ” U.S. Steel general manager Scott Buckiso made his final plea for sale, listing off what he said were the deal’s many benefits: cutting-edge technology, promises of billions in investments in the Mon Valley facilities, a $5,000 bonus for all employees and a promise to keep the company’s headquarters in Pittsburgh. Without Nippon’s help, he said, the company wouldn’t be able to afford these changes. “Our transaction with Nippon Steel is the last and unfortunately the best hope to preserve and grow our integrated steelmaking and union jobs — not just here in the Mon Valley, but across our entire footprint,” Buckiso said. Glenn Thomas, a powerhouse coordinator at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works in Braddock, said he’s worked for the company for 26 years. He said he wanted the union leadership to come to the bargaining table because the company’s facilities are in need of major work. “ Our hot strip mill is in dire need of upgrades or a complete rebuild,” he said. “Our blast furnaces ... are also in need of many investments or — in the cases of the furnaces — a relining.” Jason Zugai, the vice president of USW Local 2227, said he is a third generation U.S. Steel worker, who saw firsthand the effects of steel closures in the region over the decades. He was skeptical of the deal with Nippon at first, he said, but then he did his own research. “ I came to this conclusion,” he said. “The investments and commitment to our facilities and our members are more than I ever thought we would ever see again .”Blue Yonder said that it experienced disruptions to services it manages for customers on Thursday, which the third-party software supplier determined to be “the result of a ransomware incident.”
Climate finance's 'new era' shows new political realities
DALLAS (AP) — The Washington Nationals will have the No. 1 overall pick in the amateur draft next summer after winning the lottery in a drawing of ping-pong balls at the winter meetings Tuesday. Unlike last year, when the Nationals were ineligible after initially coming out with the top spot, they will get to make the first pick in July in Atlanta, the site of the All-Star Game. Washington was ineligible for a top-six pick last year because the collective bargaining agreement states a team that pays into the revenue-sharing plan cannot have a lottery selection in back-to-back years. The Nationals chose outfielder Dylan Crews with the No. 2 pick in 2023. The Los Angeles Angels have the second pick for next summer. Seattle, Colorado, St. Louis and Pittsburgh round out the top six. A weighted lottery among the 18 teams that failed to make the playoffs this season determined the order of picks for the third year in a row. The Nationals went in with a 10.2% chance, the fourth-best odds, for getting the No. 1 pick. Colorado and Miami, both 100-loss teams, had the best odds at 22.45%, ahead of the Angels at 17.96%. Miami instead ended up with the seventh pick. Seattle got the No. 3 overall pick after having a 0.53% chance to get the No. 1 pick, the second-worst odds among 16 eligible teams. The 121-loss Chicago White Sox, who had the most losses of any major league club since 1900, were not eligible for the draft lottery since they had one of the top six picks last year (No. 5) and is a team that pays into the revenue-sharing plan. The CBA also doesn’t allow teams that receive money in revenue sharing to have lottery picks three years in a row. That made the Athletics (69-93) ineligible for the lottery — they picked fourth last year after having the No. 6 selection in 2023. Chicago instead got the 10th pick, one spot ahead of Oakland — the highest possible positions for those two teams because of their recent lottery picks.
