China’s Lantu CBO Shao Mingfeng said on Sept. 22 the best partnerships are ‘strong-strong’ alliances, citing Huawei’s QianKun driver-assistance system paired with Lantu’s manufacturing technology as an example. He said harmony without uniformity — each side keeping its advantages and corporate values — is the preferred cooperation model.

The Labour government earlier this year eased collective-bargaining rules. Since April 6, after a worker-rights package lowered the threshold for recognition applications, unions have lodged 70 cases with the Central Arbitration Committee seeking formal bargaining rights at UK employers. That is more than double the number in the same period in 2025 and exceeds any comparable period since at least 2015. The cases filed over the past five months surpass the full-year totals in most years of the past decade. Where employers refuse voluntary recognition, unions may apply to the CAC. Employers fear the change could revive 1970s–80s-style bargaining, increasing negotiation workloads and strike-related productivity risks, says Andrew Moore, employment partner at Addleshaw Goddard.
