On November 6 during the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Panasonic officially launched its new China regional strategy, announced by Masaharu Nakayama, Executive Director of Panasonic Holdings and Chief Representative for China & Northeast Asia. Aligned with China's 14th Five-Year Plan development requirements and the group's 2032 global growth strategy, the initiative focuses on three core business sectors: AI infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and healthy smart living spaces, while advancing the "China for Global" upgrade to export locally developed mature products and solutions to global markets. In terms of capacity layout, Panasonic has invested approximately RMB 2.2 billion in two major electronic material bases in Guangzhou and Suzhou. The first phase of the new Suzhou electronic material plant is scheduled for mass production in December 2026, with the second phase expected to go operational in August 2028, targeting a global capacity doubling for MEGTRON high-performance multi-layer substrate materials by 2030 compared to 2025. For the advanced manufacturing segment, the RMB 240 million second-phase expansion of the Suzhou Production Technology Plant was completed in 2025, doubling its production capacity, while Tangshan Panasonic's 2026 fiscal year sales are projected to exceed RMB 2 billion.

Proton has officially unveiled the S70 RS, the twin of the facelifted fourth-generation Geely Emgrand launched in China weeks earlier. The RS suffix stands for "Refined Sportiness," confirmed by Proton deputy CEO Abdul Rashid Musa. Visually, the model gains a bespoke frameless grille with a larger aperture and silver rectangular pins, an X-shaped bumper with honeycomb-mesh intakes and red strips, and a gloss black front splitter. At the rear, the redesigned bumper adds fake corner vents, a honeycomb-patterned valance and X50-style quad tailpipes, while the boot lid spoiler carries over from the MC1 Flagship X bodykit. The cabin features a fully redesigned dashboard similar to the facelifted X50, with an 8.88-inch instrument display and a larger 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the centre console is carried over from the Emgrand L EM-i, complete with rectangular vents, twin smartphone trays, wireless charging and a Proton eMas 7-style control knob. A steering column-mounted gear selector makes room for these items. Performance is unchanged, with the 181 PS/290 Nm 1.5-litre i-GT turbo four-cylinder and seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission delivering 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. Pricing is unconfirmed, and the car will be presented on November 10 at a fashion showcase by a renowned local fashion designer.
