The National Health Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) have issued the Implementation Plan for the Expansion and Upgrading Project of Medical Rehabilitation and Nursing Care. The plan mentions strengthening the R&D and application of innovative products. It encourages leading enterprises in the industry, universities, research institutes, and medical and health institutions to build industry-academia-research-application innovation consortia and to intensify the commercialization of innovative achievements. Focusing on key areas such as neurological rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation, and wound repair, it calls for accelerating the deployment of cutting-edge technologies including brain-computer interfaces, embodied AI, and biomimetic actuation, and supports key technological breakthroughs in intelligent rehabilitation equipment, implantable and interventional devices, and new-type biomaterials. It also calls for the R&D of intelligent rehabilitation and nursing products of traditional Chinese medicine that integrate TCM theory with modern technology. The plan promotes the inclusion of eligible innovative medical devices and drugs for rehabilitation and nursing into the priority review and approval process in accordance with procedures. It encourages high-level hospitals to play a leading role, summarize application experience of products such as brain-computer interfaces, and strengthen the implementation and application of innovative rehabilitation and nursing achievements in settings including medical and health institutions, communities, and households.

[Musk: TSMC will not operate the Terafab AI chip complex]

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk said on Wednesday that his companies will be responsible for building and operating the Terafab AI chip complex, and TSMC (TSM.N) will at most sublease a portion of it. Terafab is a project Tesla and SpaceX plan to jointly advance in Texas, aiming to build "a giant chip factory" to produce AI chips. In response to claims that "TSMC is most likely to own and operate the factory," Musk said: "No, we will build and operate the factory. There is absolutely no question about that." He added that TSMC could sublease part of Terafab if it wishes, "but that's it." Last week, Musk said he had discussed potential cooperation with TSMC on the Terafab project but did not reveal further details.

[It is reported that Samsung's next-generation HBM4E has passed quality tests by clients such as Nvidia]

According to the Korea Economic Daily, it has been confirmed that Samsung Electronics' next-generation high-bandwidth memory "12-layer HBM4E" product has passed quality validation by Nvidia and major hyperscale data center operators. The testing is a process of validating the product against standards required by clients. However, what has been confirmed so far is only that the product has passed quality validation, and the supply quantities for each client, contract scale, and the timing for mass production and supply cannot yet be confirmed. Industry insiders analyze that as the industry transitions to next-generation products, Samsung is expected to expand its supply opportunities ahead of schedule in the high-performance AI memory market, where it competes with SK Hynix and Micron.

[AI device demand underpins global trade, logistics giant raises this year's commodity trade growth forecast to 4.6%]

A new report shows that global goods trade has remained resilient despite multiple pressures, including tariffs, wars, and geopolitical rifts. Surging demand for AI devices has been a key driver, while the US and China are realigning their trade relationship and global supply chains are adapting to the new trade landscape. The DHL Global Connectedness Tracker, compiled by German logistics giant DHL Group and NYU Stern School of Business, expects global goods trade to grow 4.6% this year, notably higher than the 3.6% forecast in January. The report also raised its trade growth expectations for next year, from the previously forecast 2.7% to 3.6%.
