Huawei just unveiled a new microchip that will help shape the future of the smartphone industry—but one of the most interesting moments from the launch had nothing to do with benchmarks or specifications. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer BG, delivered his keynote in Chinese. Then, for one sentence, he deliberately switched to English: “Kirin 9050 Pro. Super fast, super Live smart, super cool! The most powerful Kirin chip ever!” That language switch was not an accident. Huawei had just introduced the HUAWEI Mate XT 2, the world’s first smartphone powered by the new Kirin 9050 Pro. But Richard Yu wasn’t speaking only to the audience in the room—or even just to consumers in China. By switching to English, he was making a statement directly to the global technology community. The message was clear: this is not simply another update for the Chinese market. Huawei wants the entire world to pay attention to what it is building. That message resonates with me personally. This summer, I traveled across China, visiting more than 12 cities, attending one of the world’s most important semiconductor events in Shanghai, and witnessing firsthand how Huawei technology is transforming communities—from rural villages to major cities. It gave me a front-row seat to the remarkable pace of technological development taking place across China. Huawei’s latest breakthrough is amazing to see—and an exciting development for the entire global technology industry. #Huawei #Kirin

Visiting Shenzhen China 🇨🇳 today and wow! There is no way someone can stand here and not be inspired by how much China has changed in the past 3 decades 🤯 There is not another city on the planet that has transformed the way Shenzhen has, once a fishing village of 25,000 people, it’s now home to 18 million people and the hub of tech and innovation in China 🇨🇳 This is the DJI headquarters, that’s right, the company that has emerged as the number one drone company in the world is based in this building Over 8,000 employees spread across offices, R&D Centers and testing facilities. This is honestly one of the most impressive buildings I’ve ever seen The British Trade Minister just visited Shenzhen for the FIRST time in 40 years last week and just think, how many politicians around the world could understand where China is and where it is going if they simply came and saw the truth with their own eyes. To borrow a phrase from my friend and China insider Shaun Rein the next China is China! 🚀

Absolutely fascinating to see this sports complex in the heart of downtown Guangzhou. Came down here to shoot some hoops with my kids and this complex of 20 basketball courts is completely packed. Foreigners mixed in with local Chinese, enjoying this beautiful game and warm summer nights! Awesome to see this side of China that so many people in the West could never imagine 😃

My government won’t allow me to buy a BYD car in the United States, so I came to Baku, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and BYD Global cars are everywhere! They’ve completely changed the entire auto industry here in Baku. Despite being a country with incredible amounts of oil and cheap gas, Chinese EVs are everywhere and the price for an entry model BYD car here? Only $14,000 USD! Love to see Chinese innovation making people’s lives better #BYD #Azerbaijan

Today I’m exploring one of China’s most rural villages, the Tianlong Tunpu Ancient Town 🇨🇳 This place is incredible! Most the house in this town are built out of stone and have stood here for over 600 years 🤯 I’ve travelled to many cities in China, but it’s always amazing to get out outside of the major cities and experience the countryside life 🏔️ Feel like I’ve travelled back in time, watching these elderly men enjoy a smoke on the side of the river

This is why “decoupling with China” is a complete myth. I’m here in Las Vegas attending CES the world’s largest tech show and was invited to join a Chinese Tech cocktail party this evening. Some of the brightest minds and entrepreneurs from China are in this room, including the founder of DJI There is ZERO chance the US could ever decouple from China. 1/3 of the companies in attendance at CES are from 🇨🇳 Mandarin is spoken all over the convention floor and every Chinese entrepreneur I speak is optimistic about the future and not worried at all about a Trump presidency. Remove yourself from the media who spreads lies and fear. Come to the trade shows and learn about how the real world works!

The average American would be in shock if they found out China’s government doesn’t waste billions of dollars on useless wars, but instead spend billions on building the world’s best infrastructure to improve the quality of life for all citizens. Haters are going to hate and call it “propaganda” but unless you come to China and experience it yourself, you simply can’t understand how much the quality of life has improved the past 20 years

I’ve spent a week traveling throughout China’s countryside working on multiple projects and experiencing the high quality of life now available to everyone in China 🇨🇳 This is what happens when a country prioritizes investing in the people and future generations as apposed to starting new wars across the globe 🌎 Pictured here is Guiyang Train Station, where a ticket on high speed rail cost me 213rmb (around $31 USD) to travel 480 kilometers in comfort to my next city. Never been easier or more convenient to travel throughout China 😃

Live from Guizhou! Just drove over the Hua Jiang Grand Canyon Bridge, the world’s tallest bridge and this modern marvel is incredible! 🌉 It’s over 2,000 feet above the river down below and reduced a 2 hour drive down to 2 minutes. This bridge was built in only 3.5 years, on time and on budget 🇨🇳 I’m able to send this tweet as Huawei provides 5G network across China. Get ready will be sharing a full length YouTube video from my visit soon! 😃

US Politicians now moving to ban DJI drones from the US market for “national security threats” 🤯 DJI is the #1 drone manufacturer in the world 🌎 but sadly politics could potentially ban any future drones from being imported and possibly grounding current drones inside the 🇺🇸 You can’t make up how ridiculous US politicians have become against China. These drones of course have zero threat to national security. We are NOT talking military drones here, but instead civilian level drones used for photography/videography 🎥 The US moves against China has become so irrational and petty. Just look at the name of the bill: “Countering CCP Drones Act” what an absolutely ridiculous name for a bill, it shows this is nothing more than a political stunt with once again the biggest losers of this bill being the average American consumer 🤦🏻‍♂️ As George Carlin once said: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups". Perfectly sums up the actions of the US Congress Full Article👇

I feel in love with this tower the first moment I saw it in 2007! 🌅 The Oriental Pear TV Tower has constructed in Shanghai in the early 90s as a symbol that Shanghai would become a key economic hub of the new Chinese economy 🇨🇳 Nearly 35 years later it’s still one of the most iconic buildings in the world and it’s always amazing to be back in Shanghai, a city I was blessed to call home for 7 years 😃

One of the biggest takeaways from Davos? Trump's declining health Listen to this speech. Trump doesn't sound well. He is aging fast, failing to make coherent decisions, and rambling worse than Joe Biden did at his old age. I don't think Trump makes it to the end of his second term as President. I believe he will either be impeached or be forced to step down for health reasons. This is not a healthy man who can lead the USA 👇

It’s incredible the success China’s Haidilao US has achieved in the US! This is China’s most famous hotpot restaurant and it has opened numerous outlets across the West coast of North America. From Vancouver to LA and here in San Diego where my family and I are spending the New Year holiday, always fun to visit Hai Di Lao! Amazing food and service! Brings back so many great memories of China 😃
