Haier Ranks First in Industry on the Top 50 2025 Chinese Global Brand Builders List, Maintains Top 10 Position for 9 Consecutive Years

LINGSHUI, China, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- Haier has once again secured the top position in the home appliance category on the prestigious Top 50 2025 Chinese Global Brand Builders List, jointly released by Google and Kantar BrandZ. This marks the third consecutive year Haier has led the industry category and the ninth consecutive year it has remained among the top 10 Chinese global brands, further solidifying its global brand influence.
Recognized as one of the most authoritative global brand valuation systems, the Top 50 2025 Chinese Global Brand Builders list covers 11 major global markets, including the U.S., U.K., France, Japan, and India, and evaluates brands across 15 key categories, such as home appliances, consumer electronics, and automotive. The ranking is based on a robust methodology that combines Google Surveys, Google Search Index, and Kantar's BrandZ database, the world's largest brand analytics platform.
Haier's global success stems from decades of strategic commitment to long-term growth and independent branding. Back in the 1990s, instead of OEM export like other manufacturers, Haier took a different path, insisting on developing its own brand and entering mature markets, such as Europe and the U.S., before expanding to developing regions, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. This journey, grounded in reinvestment and sustainable growth, enabled Haier to achieve financial self-sufficiency in overseas markets by 2016.
To this end, Haier established a globally integrated 3-in-1 strategy (localized R&D, manufacturing, and marketing) to precisely meet the diverse needs of users across different regions. For instance, in regard to energy scarcity and high prices in Europe, the Haier X11 washing machine was launched with its eco-friendly technology features and enhanced energy-saving capabilities, offering 60% energy savings compared to Europe's rigorous A-class standards.
Throughout its globalization journey, Haier has also actively partnered with prestigious tennis tournaments, including Roland-Garros, ATP Tour, Australian Open, and China Open, leveraging the premium sports IPs that resonate deeply with global sports fans and high-end consumers. These collaborations reinforce Haier's brand image of "cutting-edge innovation" and "premium lifestyle" in the minds of consumers worldwide.
In 2024, Haier Group reported global revenue of USD 55.9 billion, an 8% year-on-year increase, and total global profit of USD 4.2 billion, up 13% year-on-year. Haier Smart Home's overseas revenue now accounts for over 50% of its total business, reflecting the company's solid global positioning. As one of the first Chinese enterprises to establish a global brand presence, Haier has been ranked No.1 Major Appliances Brand for 16 consecutive years according to Euromonitor, demonstrating a sustainable and powerful global competitive advantage.
To date, Haier has established its presence in over 200 countries and regions around the world, achieving leading market positions in key countries including China, the United States, and New Zealand.
In Europe, Haier continues to lead across multiple core markets. In Japan, the combined market share of the Haier and AQUA brands ranks No.1 in the refrigeration category. In Southeast Asia, Haier holds the No.1 overall market share. In Thailand, it ranks No.1 in white goods, chest freezers, and air conditioners. In Vietnam, Haier is No.1 in refrigerators and washing machines, while in Malaysia, it leads in both residential air conditioners and chest freezers. The brand has entered the top three in nine major markets such as India and Italy, and ranks among the top five in countries including the United Kingdom and the Philippines.
With Haier's long-term and unwavering commitment to the "3-in-1" strategy, integrating an empowered localized approach and continuous product innovation, the brand aims to create a better life for users around the world.

"PM Modi always likes to come to Odisha": CM Majhi on PM's declining invitation of Trump, citing prior commitment in Odisha

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], June 21 (ANI): Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that he politely declined an invitation from US President Donald Trump, citing prior commitment in Odisha, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has said that the PM always likes to come to his state. 'He always likes to come to Odisha. He spoke to Donald Trump during the G7, and he invited the PM for a visit to America. PM Modi had already given us the program and told us he would come on June 20... He likes to come to Odisha, and he starts his programs with the chant of 'Jai Jagannath, '' Majhi told ANI. Speaking at an event in Bhubaneswar on Friday, PM Modi said that he had politely declined an invitation from US President Donald Trump to visit the United States on his way back from Canada after the G7 Summit, choosing instead to travel to Odisha -- the 'land of Lord Jagannath,' which he called more important. 'At a time when Odisha's BJP government is completing one year, the people of Odisha are preparing for the Lord Jagannath Rath Yatra. He is our 'prerna' inspiration and 'aaradhya' worship,' PM Modi said. 'Just two days ago, I was in Canada for the G7 summit. During that time, US President Donald Trump called me and invited me with great insistence. I told the President of America, Thank you for the invitation, but I need to go to the land of the Lord. So I politely declined his invitation. Your love has drawn me to the land of the Lord,' he said. Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has said that his government aims to make the State a USD 500 billion economy by 2036, adding that the government would cooperate with the Centre to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat. 'We will cooperate with the centre to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat... Our GDP is more than the national average... We have prepared a vision document for 2036... We aim to make Odisha a USD 500 billion economy by 2036. A double-digit growth rate is required for this,' Majhi told ANI. Majhi commended Prime Minister Modi's leadership and highlighted contributions to the state's development. 'In January, PM Modi urged the investors to participate in the Utkarsh Odisha 2025 conclave. We received proposals worth Rs 17 lakh crores in just two days, which is a record. This happened because the investors trusted you. We are working to make Odisha the industrial hub of eastern India...,' he said. On Operation Sindoor, Majhi lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, stating, 'Under your leadership, the terrorist has been eliminated. Operation Sindoor was not just an operation; it was a symbol of the trust of mothers and sisters. With Operation Sindoor, India rises to a new role, one that does not bow. Earlier, people said, 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai'; now they say, 'Modi hai toh desh surakshit hai.' Under your leadership, development is touching new heights. In 11 years, all sectors have made progress, and India has become the world's fourth-largest economy.' PM Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects worth over Rs 18,600 crore in Bhubaneswar. These projects will cover critical sectors, including drinking water, irrigation, agricultural infrastructure, health infrastructure, rural roads and bridges, sections of national highways, and a new railway line.

Pulling the levers behind artificial intelligence

Opinion Sometimes, artificial intelligence looks downright stupid. Other times, it just looks dangerous. A rather famous recent AI mistake/mashup involved both Meta AI and Google being asked about the time zone in Cape Breton, N.S., and both telling users that the area was 12 minutes ahead of Atlantic Standard Time and 18 minutes behind Newfoundland time. It isn't. The AI systems had merely sampled all they could find on the topic of Cape Breton and time zones — a satirical piece on the comedy site The Beaverton — and presented it as fact. As the old saying about computers goes, garbage in, garbage out FILE Elon Musk AI is getting better, especially in areas where it can sample a large variety of sources of information, but there are still cases where AI has simply invented sources. For that reason, there's a lot at stake if AI answers are accepted at face value, and if people aren't willing to go further to verify the sources of material the AI devices are using. Because many are doing just that, taking an AI one-and-done approach to 'proof.' So much so that, on social media sites like X (formerly Twitter), users regularly go to that site's Grok AI to try to establish whether things cited as fact on the site are actually true, or whether images posted by other users are accurate. It's certainly better than just accepting everything you see on social media, but it's become such an accepted form of proof that users happily post Grok's answers, and even say that Grok was their one and only source. (In unintended hilarity, Grok's owner, Elon Musk was labelled a 'top misinformation spreader' by Grok itself, a position Grok seems to have mysteriously mellowed on since then, arguing that Musk is both a spreader of misinformation and a target of those who don't like Musk's self-claimed free speech absolutism.) But think about the following situation. Elon Musk posted that 'the far left is murderously violent' after two Democrat politicians and members of their families were shot in Minnesota and the alleged shooter was misidentified at first as a Democrat supporter. When X users, responding to the post, asked Grok, 'Who commits more domestic terrorism? The 'far-left' or the 'far-right?', it responded, 'Data consistently shows far-right groups commit more domestic terrorism in the U.S. than far-left groups, both in frequency and lethality.' Musk then replied, 'Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it.' Working on what? Grok cited sources from the U.S. Government Accountability Office to the Department of Homeland Security to the FBI to the University of Maryland, all saying that far-right terrorism easily outstrips far-left terrorism. Only two of 15 sources were even from the media — and they were reporting on other studies. Weekday Mornings A quick glance at the news for the upcoming day. Clearly, Musk was letting his own beliefs dictate what was objectively true or objectively false — which he's welcome to do, because that's how personal opinions tend to work. You believe things to be true if you agree with them, and doubt their veracity if you don't. But 'working on it' suggests a new — and real — concern about depending on AI to determine 'truth.' Because the machine is only as accurate as its programmer wants it to be. And that leaves the possibility of a thumb on the scales. In the next few weeks, a Grok 'tweak' may well change its position on just who leads the way in domestic terrorism in the U.S. If, at the end of the day, AI is only as accurate as the rich person standing behind the machine wants it to be, we're in deep, deep trouble.
