On September 24, 2026, Can Tho Port Joint Stock Company, working with Vietnam Maritime Corporation and Beibu Gulf Port Group (China), welcomed the first container ship on the direct Nanning - Can Tho route safely at Cai Cui port. The vessel BBG Nan Ninh Bo Run (about 4,900 tons, 500-container capacity) left Nanning on September 16, passing through the Binglu Canal, the Gulf of Tonkin and the Hau River, carrying 252 TEU of cargo mainly from western China. On the return leg, it carried 40 containers of rice bran (about 1,000 tons) from southern Vietnam to customers in Guangxi. The route is expected to operate about 2 trips per month, with an average voyage of about 7 days; estimates suggest it could cut transport costs by 20–30% compared with traditional methods. The Binglu Canal has a total investment of 10.8 billion USD and a length of 134.2 km, shortening routes by more than 560 km compared with those through Guangdong.

- China Opens 'Century Canal' as Multiple Shipping Routes Shift: What Opportunities for Vietnam?
Lucio Blanco Pitlo III, a board member of a Chinese studies association in the Philippines, writes that the 134.2 km Binglu Canal links the Beibu Gulf with inland waterways in Guangxi, shortening sea access for southwest China and giving ASEAN countries a new route to Western markets via the China-Europe rail network. The 72.7 billion yuan (about $10.8 billion) project, completed in four years, opened on September 16 to vessels of up to 5,000 tons. Guangxi officials forecast logistics costs will fall 18-30%, saving over 5 billion yuan ($745 million) a year. Container throughput at Beibu Gulf Port rose from 2.28 million TEU in 2017 to 10.06 million TEU last year. The author says Vietnam could benefit considerably from its proximity, citing a container ship that carried 40 containers of Vietnamese rice bran on a round trip from Nanning to Can Tho.
- Economic security and EU - China trade relations
Jens Eskelund, president of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, says more European companies are onshoring activity into China or sourcing components from Chinese vendors, with 56% of members increasing this. He attributes the trend to saturated Chinese markets, falling margins, overcapacity and 44 consecutive months of producer price deflation through April, which make Chinese supply chains essential for competing globally. He argues trade balances matter less than economic security and autonomy, citing dependence on rare earths, magnets and Starlink, with a €400 billion deficit for 2026 cited as a hypothetical example. On electric vehicles, he calls the initial deal for China to halve its hybrid car exports to Europe a positive, pragmatic step with minimal impact on overall trade.

- Coupang (CPNG) Widens Rocket Fresh Reach With New US Goods Export Partnership
Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) has expanded its collaboration with Wisconsin-based Sartori Cheese to sell products in South Korea through Rocket Fresh. The partnership focuses on exporting high-value, perishable US dairy products to Coupang customers across South Korea via its logistics network. The article says the deal tests whether Coupang's logistics-heavy model and cold chain can handle transit-sensitive goods, and reflects its broader role in connecting US producers with online shoppers in Asia. It says the clearest signal to watch is whether Coupang discloses rising overseas sales of US goods on its platform, through category revenue data or commentary on Rocket Fresh order volumes.

- Binance Cuts Off SignalPlus API Keys Over 'Potential Security Issue' at Trading Platform
Binance has removed all API keys linked to SignalPlus, a Hong Kong-based third-party crypto options and derivatives platform, after SignalPlus reported a 'potential security issue.' Binance said its own systems are unaffected and user funds remain safe, and urged SignalPlus users to review their positions and open orders and wait for SignalPlus to confirm the issue is resolved before reconnecting. Automated strategies running through SignalPlus will stop until users create new keys, and Binance asked all integrated third-party platforms to review their security controls. The move follows Binance's hack a week earlier, in which about $6.4 billion was drained from hot wallets and which the FBI has attributed to North Korean hackers; Binance says it has replenished about 98% of the stolen assets and is reopening withdrawals in phases.
- Renegade Gold Identifies New Gold Targets Along the LP-Uchi Corridor in Red Lake
Renegade Gold reported first-pass till and soil geochemical results from its 2026 program at the LP-Uchi project, about 50 km east of Red Lake, Ontario, identifying multiple new multi-kilometre gold anomalies along the LP fault corridor. The anomalies coincide with fault structures interpreted from the winter 2025/2026 drone magnetic survey, and 884 samples were collected in total. The results complement high-grade channel samples from BobJo (16.2 g/t Au over 5.0 m) and Belanger (25.9 g/t Au over 0.3 m), and fieldwork across the Confederation Belt is now complete. The company plans to rank the targets and advance them toward drill-readiness for its 2027 exploration program.
- Wendy's rejects takeover proposal from Nelson Peltz's Trian
Wendy's said it is rejecting a $1.4 billion takeover offer from a group led by Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund Management, which proposed $7.35 per share in cash on Oct. 28 to take the burger chain private. The group also includes BlueFive Capital, Sixth Street Partners and Flynn Group, one of Wendy's largest franchisees. An independent board committee formed in February concluded the proposal 'substantially undervalues' Wendy's and does not reflect the potential gains from its ongoing turnaround. In its third-quarter report, same-store sales fell for a seventh straight quarter, but earnings and revenue beat Wall Street expectations, and Trian declined to comment.

- Microsoft Is Executing an Irreproducible Balance-Sheet-Backed Infrastructure Pre-Sale at Scale
The author keeps adding to Microsoft (MSFT), most recently at $555.80 after the October earnings report, because the company sells AI and cloud capacity years ahead and funds the build with its own cash flow. Commercial remaining performance obligation (RPO) rose 73% to $677 billion, Azure grew 48%, and Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $63.9 billion, up 30% year over year. Operating cash flow hit $58.0 billion, and Microsoft still returned $10.2 billion to shareholders while raising its quarterly dividend to $0.98 from $0.91. The risks the author flags include capex of about $170 billion expected for the calendar year and a 23.19% drop in free cash flow in Q4 FY26. The article also explains why the author does not invest in Amazon or Oracle, pointing to Amazon's negative free cash flow and Oracle's reliance on outside funding.
- Apple Vs. Tesla: Low CapEx Only Matters if Non-Cyclical Cash Flows Come With It
Apple and Tesla both reported spending below expectations: Apple's fiscal 2026 capex fell 28.9% to $9.04 billion, while Tesla cut its 2026 capex guidance to about $20 billion from $25 billion. Apple's September-quarter revenue rose 11.7% to a record $114.48 billion, with Services reaching $31.6 billion at a 76% gross margin, while Tesla's revenue was flat at $28.05 billion and GAAP operating income fell to $718 million. Tesla said capex would keep expanding over the next few years, and Elon Musk put spending on its planned Terafab chip fab at “certainly in the tens of billions” through early 2028. The author views Apple's cash flow as more resilient in a downturn, while Tesla suits investors willing to fund autonomy before cash arrives. Apple shares are up 28.92% this year, while Tesla is down 14.35%.
