Why China Is Winning The World via Global Logistics Subsidy

By

I have posited that Africa cannot effectively copy China’s industrialization policy for many reasons. You can read that piece in Harvard here. Many things happen in China and one of those things is how China subsidizes production elements for its companies.

If you live in New York, you can buy an iPhone cover for $4 from Chinese firms and their secondary affiliates. That $4 includes shipping and handling. How can someone make an iPhone cover in China and ship it to you in New York for $4 and still remain in business?

Yes, China has subsidized logistics, and it is the world’s best in doing that.

It is on this thesis that I note that Nigeria has to pick one element in our production system to subsidize. Energy is always a suspect. Note: India is big on energy subsidy; according to the Brookings Institution, “The Government of Delhi’s household electricity subsidy is amongst the most generous in India.” which means that India subsidizes energy.

In this piece, I explain why Nigeria must bring fuel subsidy back, with the corruption removed, if we want to re-ignite our economy.

Why I like Strategic Subsidies And Why Nigeria Must Reform and Return Them

American multinational e-commerce giant, Amazon, has announced the launch of a new Artificial Intelligence shopping assistant called ‘Rufus’ to enhance users’ shopping experience.

Rufus is an expert shopping assistant trained on Amazon’s product catalog and information from across the web to answer customer questions on shopping needs, products, and comparisons, as well as make recommendations based on context, and facilitate product discovery.

And we believe generative Al is going to change virtually all customer experiences that we know.

“This past year, we’ve introduced a number of new generative Al-powered capabilities in Amazon’s store to make shopping even easier and more convenient. Our Al-generated review highlights provide customers with common themes from dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of reviews at a glance to help them quickly understand customer insights.

“We also recently introduced our Fit Review Highlights feature, which offers personalized size guidance and insights so customers can determine which size will fit them best. We are also using generative Al to make the product listings even more informative for customers by helping our selling partners write more engaging and effective titles and product descriptions, and enrich existing listings.”

Amazon disclosed that the AI Shopping Assistant Rufus, will be launched in Beta version, and it will be rolled out to customers in waves, beginning with a small subset of customers in the U.S using the mobile app, and will subsequently roll out to the rest of its U.S. customers in the coming weeks.

LinkedIn Summary

Amazon shares jumped in early trading Friday, after it released its fourth-quarter earnings that handily beat expectations Thursday. The nation’s second-largest retailer benefitted from brisk holiday shopping and a special sales event. Revenue surged 14% from the year-earlier period, to $170 billion. Net income shot to a two-year high of $10.6 billion, or $1 per share, following cost-cutting measures beginning in late 2022 that resulted in more than 27,000 layoffs. The e-commerce giant’s cloud-computing arm, meanwhile, saw sales increase by an expected 13% — higher than the 12% increase of the last quarter but below the 20% expansion seen a year earlier.

  • Amazon also announced that it is unleashing a new shopping assistant powered by generative AI. Dubbed Rufus, the tool uses generative AI to make recommendations and answer questions.
  • The company, which has rolled out commercials on its Prime Video streaming service, also saw ad revenue rocket 27% higher, to $14.7 billion — the fourth quarter of faster sales.
  • The company has emerged from a post-pandemic slump with a reorganized logistics business and is finding new efficiencies with artificial intelligence.

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook Discloses Plan to Invest in AI, Hints at Possible Announcement Later This Year

Apple CEO Tim Cook has disclosed the company’s plans to invest in Artificial intelligence (AI) as well as other technologies, as he hints at a possible announcement later this year.

Cook made this announcement during a call with analysts after the company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings.

He said,

“As we look ahead, we will continue to invest in these and other technologies that will shape the future. That includes Artificial Intelligence where we continue to spend a tremendous amount of time and effort, we are excited to share the details of our ongoing work in that space later this year”.

In Apple’s first quarter fiscal earnings, the company surpassed estimates for revenues and earnings but recorded a 13% decline in sales in China, one of its most important markets.

Notably, Apple reported 2% sales growth in the December quarter, breaking a streak of four straight quarters with annual revenue declines. The company shares fell more than 4% in extended trading after management provided some details about the outlook for the current quarter that suggested weakness in iPhone sales.

It is interesting to note that the company has faced increased competition from local firms such as Huawei, in Greater China including the mainland in addition to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Tim Cook’s announcement of the company’s plan to integrate AI into its products is coming as big tech companies such as Google, Amazon, and Samsung amongst others, have started reporting huge revenue due to their investment in AI.

White-collar workers might have thought they were safe when robots learned how to make french fries. In fact, they are most vulnerable to the new generation of artificial intelligence, according to a new report by the Burning Glass Institute. Industries with a high percentage of their payrolls in lucrative jobs that require a college degree — namely tech and banking — will bear the brunt of the generative AI revolution, the labor market research nonprofit says. The report identifies restaurants, retail and transportation as the sectors most insulated from the impact of this new generation of AI. (LinkedIn News)

Recall that last year October, Apple disclosed that it is on track to spend $1 billion per year on developing its generative Artificial Intelligence products.

Apple, a powerhouse in consumer technology, has long been associated with cutting-edge hardware and user-friendly software. However, the company’s foray into the AI landscape has been quite slow. The spending comes as the company plays catch-up to some competitors who have already debuted new AI products and features.

Moving forward, the company is reportedly looking to integrate Al into Siri, Messages and Apple Music. For the latter, Apple also plans to use Al to create auto-generated playlists as Spotify does via its partnership with OpenAI. The company is also exploring using Al in Xcode to assist app developers.

As Apple looks to navigate the intricate terrain of Al innovation, its financial dynamics have continued to draw attention. Analysts and investors await further details on Apple’s Al pursuits, keenly observing how this technological venture will influence its future trajectory in an ever-evolving tech landscape.

Apple’s Vision Pro mixed-reality headset — considered its biggest product launch in years — makes its in-store debut on Friday, with some 600 apps and games available. It comes just after Apple reported its first sales growth in a year on Thursday, breaking its streak of declines by reporting a 2.1% revenue gain in the October-to-December period. That was largely fueled by stronger-than-expected iPhone sales across much of the world. Its biggest drag — beyond patent battles, higher regulatory scrutiny and App Store challenges — was China. Still, despite increased competition from Huawei and other smartphone makers, the iPhone has captured the market’s top spot.

  • Sales in China plunged 13% to $20.8 billion, well below the $23.5 billion analysts were expecting, as spending slowed and the Chinese government’s banon overseas tech intensified.
  • CEO Tim Cook said the company will showcase its AI efforts “later this year.”
  • The European Union accounts for 7% of global app store revenue, the company said Thursday.

American multinational technology conglomerate Meta has posted a huge revenue for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023, which was boosted by a rebound in digital advertising as well as a significant layoff of workers, in what CEO Mark Zuckerberg termed as the “Year of Efficiency”.

The California-based company said on Thursday that it earned $14 billion profit, and $5.33 per share, in the October- December period. That is up  $4.65 billion and $1.76 per share, posted last year. It posted a revenue of $40.1 billion.

Meta Q4 revenue surpassed analyst earnings of $39.1 billion and $4.82 per share. The company also saw its user base grow significantly on its apps, with monthly active users on (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp) reaching 3.98 billion as of the end of the year, up 6% from 2022.

Shares of Meta surged more than 10% shortly after the release of its earnings reports, as the company announced another $50 billion in stock buybacks and unveiled its inaugural cash dividend of $0.50 per share, to be paid out on March 26.

Speaking on the remarkable revenue growth in Q4 of 2023, the company said via a statement,

“This was a pivotal year for our company. We increased our operating discipline, delivered strong execution across our product priorities, and improved advertising performance for the businesses who rely on our services”.

Here is an overview of how Meta performed in Q4 of last year;

• Earnings per share: $5.33 vs. $4.96 expected by LEG, formerly known as Refinitiv.

• Revenue: $40.1 billion vs. $39.18 billion expected by LSEG.

•Daily active users (DAUs): 2.11 billion vs. 2.08 billion expected. Monthly active users (MAUs): 3.07 billion vs. 3.06 billion expected.

• Average revenue per user (ARPU): $13.12 vs. $12.81 expected. Revenue jumped 25% in the quarter from $32.2 billion a year earlier, the fastest rate of growth for any period since mid-2021, as the online ad market continued to rebound.

Meanwhile, the company’s expenses decreased 8% year over year to $23.73 billion, and its operating margin more than doubled to 41%, a clear sign that cost-cutting measures are bolstering profitability.

Net income more than tripled to $14 billion, or $5.33 per share, from $4.65 billion, or $1.76 per share, a year earlier. Based on its late-trading price, Meta’s market cap has swelled to almost $1.2 trillion.

Sales in Meta’s Reality Labs unit passed S1 billion in the quarter, though the virtual reality unit recorded $4.65 billion in losses.

Meta’s Finance chief Susan Li said on the call with analysts that the biggest drivers of revenue growth came from companies in areas including e-commerce, entertainment, and gaming.

For the current quarter, Meta is forecasting revenue of $34.5 billion to $37 billion, above Wall Street expectations. On the other hand, analysts have predicted a revenue of $33.9 billion for the first quarter (Q1) of 2024.

Zuckerberg further added that Meta will continue to invest in Al and in building up its computing infrastructure to handle bigger workloads. He disclosed that growth will come without much expansion in headcount.

LinkedIn Summary

Meta’s fourth-quarter earnings report confirmed that 2023 was one of the company’s strongest years to date, sending its shares surging on Friday. Revenue at Facebook and Instagram’s parent company grew at the fastest clip since mid-2021, totaling $40.1 billion — about 900 million more than investors expected and a 25% jump from last year, Thursday’s report showed. CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency,” during which he laid off one third of Meta staff, brought costs and expenses down 8% from the prior year, and its operating margin doubled. Meta shares almost tripled in value last year.

  • If Meta’s stock gains hold through Friday’s trading session, it will add about $200 billion in market cap, the biggest one-day gain ever, per Bloomberg.
  • Meta announced its first dividend payment: it will pay investors 50 cents per share on March 26. It will also use more than $65 billion in excess cash for a $50 billion stock buyback.
  • Facebook is still growing, with 2.11 billion daily users, 3.07 billion monthly users and an average of $13.12 in revenue per user.
