China's BYD EV's To Cuba For Projected Tourist Boom
HAVANA, Cuba, July 3, 2015：As a gate to the Gulf of Mexico, always bustles with tourism. Recent news from this island country is that it plans to purchase a fleet of fuel cars to support its tourism business development, and place an order for its first 719 vehicles with Chinese leading automaker BYD Co. Ltd. Not only is this Cuba’s first fleet of tourist rental vehicles, but also BYD’s largest vehicle order in the Cuban market. It has been reported that all vehicles in the fleet will be BYD models, namely the sedans Suri, L3 and G6, the SUV S6, and the MPV M6.
BYD has made big progress in Cuba since it started developing its market in 2014. The company has successfully made it to the Cuban government procurement catalog and become the second Chinese passenger car supplier in Cuba. In November last year, BYD debuted its F3 sedan and S6 SUV at the Havana International Expo, catching Cuban’s widespread attention and praise. The S6 model even won the Exhibition’s Design Award. Also last year, the Cuban government purchased the first 40 BYD passenger cars. Cuban Government’s orders with BYD have increased substantially this year. At present, all BYD vehicles exported to Cuba will be used to develop tourism in the country, and in the near future, the vehicles will also expand to government official vehicles and the private car market. With this procurement project, BYD plans to build a flawless after-sales service system in Cuba to provide complete vehicular tech support, as well as seek further development of its new energy vehicles.

Intel shows foresight in hookup with Shenzhen's white boxers
Intel, the world's largest semiconductor chip maker, has spared no efforts implementing its CTE（China technology ecosystem）initiative in Shenzhen over the past two years to set up a Chinese technology ecosystem and white-box industry chain as part of its efforts to build a solid presence in the mobile terminal market, the Beijing-based Caixin Weekly reports.
Intel launched the CTE scheme in early 2013, when a group of senior executives led by its senior vice president Kirk Skaugen began to visit potential partners in Shenzhen, including Emdoor Digital, a provider of ODM services for tablet PCs and other electronics products with only 250 employees. They conducted negotiations with Emdoor general manager Shi Yong in the firm's cafeteria and 10 days later decided to allow the local company to improve designs and choose supply chain for tablets fully on its own.
