  "summary": "Google has informed its suppliers of plans to relocate the manufacturing of its Pixel smartphones, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds from China to another location by 2027. This decision is reportedly driven by the ongoing tensions between the US and China.\n\nThe Nikkei Asia report did not provide details on the new manufacturing location.\n\nThe SCMP Business report, meanwhile, discusses China's baijiu liquor maker Kweichow Moutai, which has seen its stock decline by over 40% from its peak five years ago. China's state-backed funds, including Central Huijin Investment and China Securities Finance, have reduced their stakes in the company, no longer ranking among its top 10 shareholders by the end of the second quarter. Kweichow Moutai's profits fell by 1.95% from the previous year, marking the company's first decline in interim results since its listing in 2001.",
