We start with China's new energy vehicle market which continue to gain traction in September
thanks to a series of supporting policies to boost consumption and rising demand for new domestic products
last month over 700,000 new energy cars were sold, up nearly 94% from year ago
accounting for a market share of 27 percent
pure electric vehicles continue to be the main stay of the market
during the first 9 months of the year clean energy vehicle sales double to 4.6 million units
at the same time overseas demand for Chinese NEVs saw steady growth
exports more than double to 390 000 units in the first 3 quarters of the year
from artificial intelligence to autonomous vehicles
technology that might have seemed obstructed just some years ago
is to some extend already reshaping our lives
not least in the Gulf where oil-producing nations are pumping billions of dollars into developing smart cities
and increasingly enlisting the help of Chinese partners along the way
Jim stemmon has more from Dubai
with some 5000 companies from 90 countries spread across 2,000,000 square feet in downtown Dubai
it's easy to see why organizers have held this, the world's biggest tech show
and we're seeing that again very clearly at GITEX with
the Chinese technology innovation that's happening
and the UAE really receiving that without the sort of US concerns and mind
Chinese firms on the ground include ict giant Huawei
and of course Bytedance, the company behind TikTok
but also smaller players like this one
and this is also the new product in UAE
this one can also surpport the smart Wi fi
and we are looking for some local partners in tcc to expand the business
and it's easy to see why Chinese companies are so keen on the Gulf
Saudi Arabia, according to the international data corporation
is expected to spend over 32.9 billion dollars on ict this year
while the UAE plans to introduce driverless vehicles in the years ahead
now we are here on the sidelines of GITEX in Dubai
where we're about to witness the first public flight of a unique Chinese aircraft
the opening of GITEX saw what's built as a world first
the takeoff of Chinese built xpang x ii
a 5th generation unmanned so called flying car
it doesn't produce any carbon dioxide while in the air
and has the ability to travel up to 130km per hour
making it perhaps an ideal transport for cities of the future
AI face recognition and also for the auto driving
a lot of Chinese company they are exploring here
and they have advantage
silicon valley and the us, generally speaking,
has dominated when it comes to technology
is it healthy that the United States is receiving
competition from other countries China included
just go to Saudi now and you can talk to some of these major family conglomerates
the contracts that they end up securing
they're not in the west
they're in Asia in China because us technology innovation just isn't there yet
isn't able to scale at the same way at the cost that China can
and we see that the us is really trying to catch up now in a lot of ways
now these efforts include a possible big win for US president biden's recent trip to Saudi Arabia
resulting in a deal to test out US technology for 5G in the kingdom
as it stands
China is still dominated in the region for 5g and
what we imagine is going to be 6G as well
and that is a reality that at least for now seems to be placing China ahead of silicon valley

China is working its way up the global innovation ladder
with its ranking rising to 11th in the 2022 global innovation index
that is according to the latest rankings fromnthe world intellectual property organization or WIPO
a decade ago the country was ranked 34th
China is also one of the global leaders in terms of the spending on research and development
China now has the same number of science and technology clusters as the US
specifically 2 of the world's 5 biggest clusters are located in China
the Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou cluster is ranked second in a world
