Growing ASEAN-China Relations
The recent visits to China by high-ranking ASEAN officials highlight the expanding economic significance of the ASEAN-China comprehensive strategic cooperation as well as its strengthening connections. These trips are an indication of the relationship's growing durability and dependability, which is bringing stability and forward impetus to regional and global development.
Prabowo Subianto, the incoming president of Indonesia and minister of defense, made a noteworthy visit to China on his first official tour following his election.
This demonstrates China's crucial position in Indonesia's foreign policy, strengthening the two countries' bilateral cooperation even further. China-Indonesia economic cooperation is thriving as major infrastructure projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway are under way and trade volumes are at all-time highs.
Saleumxay Kommasith, the deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Laos, underlined the country's dedication to strengthening ties with China in a number of areas, such as energy, agriculture, and tourism.
Hailed as a "golden transport channel," the China-Laos Railway generates jobs and propels economic progress along its course, demonstrating the thriving economic links between China and ASEAN.
Chinese automakers are driving Thailand's electric vehicle revolution by solidifying Thailand's standing as a major base for automobile manufacturing in Southeast Asia.
The growing economic connectivity between China and ASEAN is highlighted by the development of supporting sectors and the appearance of investment hotspots in the digital economy and green development.

United States vs China: AI Models, Compute, Quantum and Electricity
The United States still leads in frontier model capability, total AI compute and quantum error correction, while China has narrowed the gaps in model performance, open-weight adoption and domestic chip volumes, and holds a structural advantage in power for data centres. Shayne Heffernan sets out the developments from July to October 2026 across models, compute, quantum and electricity, and how fast China is catching up.
The 2030 Compute Landscape: GPUs, Power and the Architecture of Intelligence
The constraint on AI is no longer ideas or data but compute and the power to run it. Frontier training compute has grown about five times a year since 2020, and the leading AI supercomputer of June 2030 is on course for about 2 million chips and 9 gigawatts. Shayne Heffernan sets out the 2030 arithmetic, the power problem, who has already contracted the gigawatts, and how GPUs, custom ASICs, wafer-scale engines and quantum machines divide the work.
KXCO AI Ontology at 3 Months: What It Called and What Comes Next
On 19 July 2026 the Round Table's AI room published its first Analyst Outlook. To the 16 October 2026 close its 13 names rose 2.6% on an equal weight against 2.1% for QQQ, per StockAnalysis closes, and the six it opened with 35% or more of upside rose 8.6%. This piece lists the six names up more than 5%, the ten names I rate as opportunities now, the month's results in AI and quantum computing, and the official data showing that four in five firms have not yet started using AI.
SpaceX: The Road to 10 Gigawatts
SpaceX did not add an AI business. A company whose processes run on compute built its own computing plant, then built the power to run it. The 10-Q reports 1.4 gigawatts of nameplate compute at 30 June 2026, four leases worth about $41 billion a year and $100 billion of cash. The target is closer to 10 gigawatts than 5 by the end of 2027. This piece sets out the build sequence, the four layers of power in Memphis, and why Terafab is the act after 2027, not the road to it.
