x/people-s-republic-of-china
— 4d
Chinese regulators including SAFE and the PBOC are pressuring banks to raise corporate yuan hedging, moving toward a 40% target through window guidance to shield exporters from ongoing yuan volatility and encourage use of forwards, swaps, options, and other hedging tools. Hedging activity has surged, with corporate derivatives around $1.4 trillion in the first half of 2026 and the overall hedging ratio climbing from roughly 22% in 2020 to about 35% in H1 2026, as banks offer subsidies and expanded access to hedging services.

x/africans
— Sep 10, 2026
Africa’s shift to renewables and electric mobility is increasingly powered by Chinese equipment, with South Africa importing the majority of its solar, battery, and wind gear and North Africa driving a surge in Chinese electric scooters and mopeds.
