Adrian Cheng’s ALMAD to bring Chinese anime to Dubai
Dubai’s Wafi Group has set up a joint venture with Adrian Cheng, former CEO of Hong Kong developer New World Development, to bring anime-themed Chinese brands and entertainment to the Wafi City complex from next year.
The venture with Cheng’s new investment firm, ALMAD, called Wafi Anime 11, will roll out exhibitions and pop-ups and introduce a private members’ club for high-net-worth clients across the Middle East and North Africa, the companies said.
The Wafi City complex includes a mall, hotels, restaurants and residences.
Cheng, scion of one of Hong Kong’s richest families, launched ALMAD this year to focus on digital assets and emerging markets.
Dubai welcomed about 824,000 Chinese visitors in 2024, up 31 percent from a year earlier, according to official data.

Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China.

But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
