Subsidies Reach the Edge of the Network
Smart glasses attract a 15% rebate as on-device AI names rally and Chinese-backed dramas dominate overseas.
On-device AI shares rallied in Shanghai on 11 November 2026, with several names hitting daily limits, catalysed by Beijing’s economic development zone pledging funding for AI terminals and super-agents, and by trade-in subsidies covering smart glasses at 15% of price up to 500 yuan per unit. Compute hardware including co-packaged optics and optical modules rebounded the same day. Separately, 82 of the top 100 overseas short dramas in October were majority-funded by Chinese producers. Policy support is now pulling consumer AI hardware demand directly, giving on-device chips, modules and device makers a repaired outlook, though positioning within the theme is already diverging.
