Since the last digest, CXMT's share price has continued to climb post-IPO, with its market capitalization growing from US$487 billion to US$523 billion, solidifying its position as China's most valuable listed company. Concurrently, Apple has been revealed to be testing CXMT chips for iPhones and MacBooks as part of a supply chain diversification effort. This move has drawn opposition from U.S. lawmakers, who are urging Apple to avoid the company due to its alleged links to Chinese military entities. Analysts are divided on whether this signals a long-term shift in global AI supply chains, with a general consensus that geopolitical risks will limit widespread adoption.

Japanese and Korean MLCC makers shift to AI, opening supply chain opportunities for Chinese rivals

Japanese and Korean MLCC manufacturers, led by Murata, are pivoting from low-margin consumer-grade production to AI server and data center applications, creating supply gaps. This structural shift has enabled Chinese mainland suppliers like Microvast Technology and Chaozhou Three-Circle to enter verification processes for Dell, HP, Asus, and Acer. TrendForce reports that while Japanese and Korean firms retain a lead in high-end AI specifications, international OEMs are increasingly adopting Chinese alternatives in general servers, consumer electronics, and low-end automotive markets.

U.S. Navy 3D-prints drones aboard USS Essex during RIMPAC transit

Firestorm Labs successfully 3D-printed 12 Squall drones and over 1,000 parts aboard the USS Essex using its containerized xCell microfactory while transiting to RIMPAC 2026 in Hawaii. The operation, conducted in rough seas, demonstrated at-sea production without shore resupply. The drones were later used as adversary aircraft in a counter-drone exercise. This supports the Navy’s containerized capability campaign plan and the Pentagon’s Low-Cost Containerized Munitions program.
