Americans can never understand China. That’s why they keep... getting their ass kicked by Huawei, DJI, TikTok, DeepSeek etc. Chinese economist Jin Keyu summarizes the China model in one sentence: Political centralization and economic decentralization.show more

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! 🚀show more

DeepSeek R1 is *the* best model available right now.... It's at the level of o1, but you can use it for free, and it's much faster. A huge leap forward that nobody saw coming. No wonder so many people are throwing tantrums online trying to discredit the Chinese students who built this. You can use DeepSeek in Visual Studio Code right now: 1. Install the Qodo Gen AI extension 2. Select DeepSeek R1 from their list of models The Qodo team is hosting DeepSeek on their servers, so none of your data will go to China. I've been building a Tetris game using DeepSeek, and this is the most impressive model I've seen so far.show more

🇨🇳🇭🇳 Taipei and Western pundits think Taiwan “won” in... Honduras. They don’t understand what Beijing just made clear: China no longer rewards small states for playing double-sided geopolitics or exploiting China’s internal issues for leverage. Beijing said it plainly: “This is the choice of the Honduran people.” But the one-China principle is China’s red line, cross it, and you’re making a strategic choice, not a bargain. The idea that a government can switch leaders and “eat from both sides” is exactly why nobody trusts fence-sitters. A country that tries to please everyone ends up respected by no one, and gets neither the economic benefits nor the political influence it thinks it can extort.show more

$NVDA CEO JENSEN HUANG: "ANYONE WHO UNDERESTIMATES HUAWEI, IS... DEEPLY NAIVE." He's right. And the timeline proves it. 2019: US puts Huawei on the sanctions blacklist. TSMC stops making their chips. Kirin chips dead. Phone business looks over. 2020: Full export ban. Even basic chip-making tools blocked. Everyone laughs: "China stuck at 14nm forever." 2023: Out of nowhere, Huawei drops the Mate 60 Pro. Inside? A new 7nm Kirin chip. Made fully in China, without the high-end tools the US blocked. The West coped: "lucky one-off, they can't keep doing it." 2026: Huawei unveils Tau Scaling + LogicFolding. New way to stack chips. More power, less wiring, smaller size. Plan: hit 1.4nm-level chips by 2031. Still without the tools the US banned. The US tried to block China. Instead they forced China to build its own. Now China is inventing the next generation of chips the West will have to copy. No company has been hit with more sanctions than Huawei. None has come back harder. US tech war backfired in real time.show more

🇨🇳🇺🇸 JD Vance said the U.S. “borrows money from... Chinese peasants to buy goods made by Chinese peasants.” Such ignorant, disrespectful remarks reflect not just his own arrogance, but the decline of U.S. political elites as a whole. For a time, China and the U.S. managed to coexist despite ideological differences. Many Chinese once admired the U.S. But it was Trump’s first term that shattered the illusion—with lies, tariffs, racism, and COVID smears. The more Chinese people see of America, the less they believe in its myth. Unlike Biden or Trump—who casually insult foreign leaders—China has never stooped to personal attacks. Not once has a Chinese official called Biden a war criminal or Trump a failed businessman. That’s the real difference in political culture.show more

This is bullshit. China never imposed this so-called "beauty... standard" on the public. Most footage is cobbled together from Chinese social media: model training, fitness influencers showcasing their bodies, model street photography... None of this represents the true aesthetic of China’s 1.4 billion people. P1 is from Douyin: the girl in it is actually an online clothing seller. Most commenters are sharing selfies, not criticizing. P2, as stated in the account’s profile, is from a model training facility on Douyin—posted specifically for recruitment. People who barely understand China’s society and online ecosystem constantly fabricate narratives with such clipped-together content, deliberately stirring up gender divisions just for clicks. If these are requirements for top models, standards like the "A4 waist" might be plausible—but they’re far from unique to China. In fact, a cultural revival of traditional Chinese dance (the last video) is sweeping social platforms right now. Originating from ancient China over 2,000 years ago, it’s being learned and imitated by countless Chinese women on Douyin. That’s true charm recognized by the public.show more

Inspired by what I witnessed in #Dalian, #China. The... country’s remarkable progress in technology, innovation, and #green #industrialization is creating a new model of sustainable economic development. The visit to two leading Green Industrial Parks highlighted how innovation, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and environmental stewardship can work together to drive growth and prosperity. Special thanks to Pr Deng Yanhong and the China Green Industry Consortium for their partnership. As Djibouti pursues its economic transformation and diversification agenda, we look forward to deepening cooperation and building together a greener industrial parks, more resilient, and more prosperous future. 🇩🇯🤝🇨🇳 #Djibouti #China #GreenDevelopment #IndustrialParks #GreenIndustry #Innovation #Technology #EconomicTransformation #SustainableDevelopment #PartnershipForGrowthshow more

China is smart. China learned from the US's successes,... using only the best parts. It's our turn. We should be learning from China. China's economy is growing three times faster than that of the USA. China leads in almost all areas of science, and has the best infrastructure the world has ever seen. The number one priority of China is tell help their people become more prosperous, especially the least well off. Is there still work to be done. Hell yeah. But there difference is that they are trying and we are not. I've been to hundreds of Chinese villages, for more than a decade, and people are becoming better off each year. They call it 'Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.' We don't need to replicate their system. But we should be learning from it. For those ignoring it, you are hurting America. Pretending China's model isn't successful is preventing the US from improving and learning. The China-Haters should be ashamed of the damage that they are doing to the West. Instead of slander and Sinophobia, we need to be learning from the successes of other nations and their peoples.show more

(Lukashenko says what Putin tells him): “If the Americans... couldn't handle Iran, then they should not mess with China. They will never be able to deal with that kind of power,” Lukashenko said in an interview with RT journalist Rick Sanchez. Thus, as of now, attempts by the administration of Donald Trump to “pull” Russia and, indirectly, Belarus away from China have not led to a strategic split between Moscow and Beijing. Despite certain diplomatic steps, a softening of sanctions pressure, and ongoing negotiations, Russia remains deeply integrated into China’s economic and technological system.show more

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 The White House confirms the number one... issue that has been discussed in China are rare materials. They claim China will address US concerns regarding supply chain shortages related to rare earths and other critical minerals Other benefits that US is going to get are purchase of 200 American-made Boeing aircraft for Chinese airlines Interesting that the Trump administration begged China to buy their agricultural products and that is 17 billion per year of US agricultural products in 2026, 2027, and 2028 They also asked China to restored market access for US beef by renewing expired listings of more than 400 US beef facilities and adding new listingsshow more

I spent $250,000 in China and laughed in disbelief.... Why do people hate Chinese manufacturing so much? I constructed a new 15k factory floor; US cost would be $1,000,000. Chinese work day and night, like me. Do the math. You can't avoid China. 1) The US has no supply chain like the Chinese. 2) Fractional labor costs. 3) They outwork everyone. 4) They will work for little profit. I build companies through the lens of capitalism. I want the highest volume of high profits. I'm a simple person. If it's made to my spec, I don't care where it's made. I have to create value and get paid for it. 10:30pm in Shenzhen last night I watched sparks fly from men welding. It's why I moved here in 2010. They can almost keep up with me. We now have about 60k sq ft. Saved $2,000,000 in buildouts.show more

Just days ago: “if he can get a deal... with China that’s a good thing. He should do that.” Today’s tariff temper tantrum has nothing to do with China, and everything to do with Trump’s fragile ego being upstaged by Carney at Davos. Trump has: - sought and made his own deals with China, including giving them access to advanced Nvidia chips which will massively help the PRC in the AI race; - carved out a huge quota for Chinese foreign students, despite espionage concerns from intelligence agencies; - repeatedly expressed his profound admiration for the dictator Xi (“an amazing guy,” “a great leader,” etc) including at Davos this week; - been ambiguous about the willingness of the US to defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression - Maintains higher levels of trade with China than Canada (10.9% of US trade vs 7.9% of Canadian trade)show more

The Philippine Coast Guard says Chinese coastguard vessels fired... water cannon at one of its ships earlier today at the Scarborough Shoal, w/in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea - damaging its railing and canopy, evidence, the PCG says of the forceful pressure used by the CCG. The CCG also installed a 380-meter barrier around the entrance to the shoal.

Here you go, Sewage, garbage strewn water and roads... that don't exist after a flood. Please don't keep doing auto-PR for China. They didn't even ask. They consider you Indian as subhuman on their social media. Surely, you can say India needs to improve. But not by using China which denigrates India and Indians in the most racist way around the world systematically. Don't become their sepoy even unwittingly. Do what you can to help improve India by not just raising concerns but using your local municipality, at least its website, to fix one thing in your neighborhood. Btw, my posts are not NOT to justify anything wrong in India. So no need to shift goal post like that now.show more

Trump said China was trying to control the Panama... Canal and vowed not to let China succeed. But some things cannot be obtained by threats, invasions, bombings, or cowboy speeches in front of a costume audience. Panama already learned that. Washington pushed it to tear up commercial certainty, raid a Chinese-linked company, and play canal-sovereignty theater for American applause. Then the bill arrived. China does not need to “take over” the Panama Canal. China only needs to remind Panama that trade is not a one-way favor, contracts are not stage props, and selling your spine to Washington is not free. The U.S. can shout. The U.S. can threaten. The U.S. can put on another hat and pretend it still owns the hemisphere. But it cannot unload Panama’s cargo. It cannot restore Panama’s credibility. It cannot make Chinese maritime and commercial power disappear. America thinks power is taking. China understands power is making others realize what they already depend on. Panama chose the leash. Now it is discovering that Washington’s leash comes with no insurance.show more

I’ve been traveling through China with my family the... past 3.5 weeks and the more time I spend here the more I realize one important fact 👇 Chinese people want the same things in life as every other culture in the world. Good job, safe country, children, opportunities for those children, quality of life that continues to improve. I’ve been coming to China for the past 18 years and can see why Chinese people have an overwhelming positive view of their government but more importantly their country. My family and I came to play tennis this afternoon and found the world class sport facility on a rooftop of a downtown office building. 8 outdoor tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, 4 indoor tennis courts and over 15 coaches. This is just one example of a plethora of changes across China the past two decades. Better infrastructure, clean streets, less crime, better education, the list goes on and on Sport is growing fast in China, people are prioritizing their health and this society is moving forward. It’s incredible to spend our summer holiday here and experience it first handshow more

Show these videos to most Westerners and they could... never believe this exists in China 🤯 China has some of the best restaurants in the world. International and local chefs are constantly coming up with new concepts, unique menus, and creative decorations 🥘 While China’s economy isn’t as strong as before, deflation has kept food prices down and every night in the city I go out and see restaurants filled with people 🍲 Most people think China is cut off from the outside world. Instead when you visit China you’ll see China is learning and becoming more modern and international 🌎 There are now more high end coffee shops in Shanghai than NYC and London combined. Bakeries filled with artisan breads and pastries are all over China now showing foreign tastes have been developed on mass scale in China ☕️ China is opening up. Dozens of EU countries can now travel to China visa free. Yesterday New Zealand was added to the list. Foreigner visits to China is up 305% in Q1 2024, when measures from the same period last year ✈️ More foreigners are coming to China and it’s a great thing. The world needs to learn more about China. This country is simply amazing and truly changing the future of the world 🇨🇳 Come here to see a nation who is embracing their commitments to producing clean energy. It’s simply incredible how much of the auto industry is now dominated by EVs 🚗 Visiting China is taking a step in the future. Such an absolute pleasure to be back in the country for an extended stay 😃show more

‼️🚨🇨🇳🇹🇼 The tension between China and Taiwan is heating... up again, this time on a new front. Beijing just launched a coast guard patrol east of Taiwan, calling it a routine "law enforcement" operation in what it claims are its own waters. Taiwan didn't sit back, though—they spotted two Chinese vessels about 54 nautical miles off Hualien and immediately sent two of their own ships to keep a close eye on them. This move is a big deal geographically. Usually, China flexes its muscles in the Taiwan Strait or to the southwest. Pushing to the east coast shows Beijing is trying to encircle the island, essentially cutting off the one side Taiwan always felt was a bit safer and more secure. It’s also a classic example of "gray-zone" tactics. By sending the coast guard instead of the actual navy and calling it "law enforcement," China is trying to treat the area like its own backyard. It lets Beijing squeeze Taiwan and test its boundaries without actually crossing the line into open warfare, which would trigger a massive global backlash. Taiwan’s response was smart and measured. By sending exactly two ships to match the Chinese presence, they showed they won't be bullied out of their own economic zone, but they also avoided escalating the situation into a full-blown crisis. Still, it's clear China is trying to make these patrols the new normal, making the region's future harder and harder to predict. Video is made Grok AIshow more
