China's AI Race: Apple Pauses, Huawei Pounces
Apple left China’s AI party saying, "Sorry, Siri can’t make it." Huawei then kicked the door open and said, "No problem, we brought 2,000 agents."
HarmonyOS 7 turns Xiaoyi from a voice assistant into the office overachiever of operating systems - booking trips, handling tasks, and generally acting like apps are now middle management. Huawei says it is faster, smarter, and wins at following instructions more than 90% of the time, which is either impressive or the boldest self-review of the year.
The bigger twist: while Apple is stuck outside China’s AI velvet rope, Huawei has already built itself a VIP entrance. Sanctions forced Huawei to grow its own operating system; now that survival project is starting to look suspiciously like a flex.
The $2 Trillion Asset Class You're Missing
While retail investors chase volatile tech stocks, institutions like BlackRock and KKR are quietly allocating billions to private credit—a market that's grown 19x since 2006 and now approaches $2 trillion globally.
Why? Private credit offers what traditional portfolios increasingly lack: consistent yield potential (Percent's marketplace delivered 14.9% average net returns in 2024), lower correlation to public markets, and shorter investment horizons averaging just 9 months.
With Percent, accredited investors can now access the same institutional-quality deals that were once exclusive to the ultra-wealthy. Start with as little as $500 and get up to $500 on your first investment. Invest like the smart money.
