China is Changing Faster Than We Realize 🚀 Outdated Perceptions: Many still see China as if it’s stuck in the 1980s or 1990s, just like we often picture the U.S. through a nostalgic golden age. This creates a huge gap between perception and reality. Rapid Development: Even those living... in China struggle to keep up with the speed of change. Cities like Shanghai and Chongqing look like something out of a sci-fi movie—no wonder foreigners are surprised! See It for Yourself: If you really want to know whether what you hear about China is propaganda or reality, visit and experience it firsthand. Life in Cities is Insanely Convenient:Order groceries, takeout, or even cleaning services with a tap on your phone—delivered in 30 minutes. No need for keys or wallets anymore—your phone handles everything. High-speed rail has cut travel times dramatically (Beijing to Hubei in just over 3 hours instead of a full day). Technology & Innovation: EV boom: Xiaomi and other Chinese brands are rolling out sleek electric cars everywhere. AI & Robotics: This year’s Spring Festival gala even featured dancing robots—who knows what’s next? The Bigger Picture: My family’s journey—from the countryside to the city, from slow trains to bullet trains—reflects how fast China is moving forward. Breaking Stereotypes: The recent reconciliation is powerful because it encourages real understanding. The world is evolving—are we keeping up? #China #Innovation #ChangingPerspectives #Futureshow more

Well said. The problem is that US and the collective West are actually still living in the 1980s !! While China is already moving ahead. It's like that guy that had a head start talks way too much arrogance while the others behind him walked the walk and run past him.

What is China really like in 2026? To understand China, you need to get outside the major cities of Shanghai and Beijing and go explore the countryside to see how China’s government is transforming the 4th, 5th, and 6th tier cities One of the biggest differences between the Chinese government and others, is a real focus on improving the lives of Chinese people. That might sound like propaganda to some people, but if you actually do visit these small villages, you’ll see how technology and infrastructure are changing people’s lives and providing them a higher quality of life for the future I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to visit, explore and connect with China every year. This is one of the most fascinating countries in the world and I love sharing my travels and journeys through the Middle Kingdom 🇨🇳

At the "CEO: Grow with China" Roundtable in Beijing on Sept 12, President of Astellas China Zhao Ping stated that as the world's second-largest pharmaceutical market with high efficiency to drive innovation, China presents huge opportunities for pharmaceutical and life science companies. "When we talk to our global team or talk with our other friends outside of China, we said we have 'fast', 'very fast' and 'China fast'. This speed, actually, it is a competitive advantage for China," Zhao said, adding that "We are investing in China, and we will continue to invest in China."

🇨🇳📱 China Isn’t Talking About the AI Future: It’s Already Living It While Western media is still debating what AI wearables might look like, China is already living in that future, in shops, offices, classrooms, metros and even family homes. A new report shows just how far ahead China actually is: - 70+ Chinese companies have launched smart-glasses since Meta’s 2023 release. - Devices from Inmo, Rokid, Xiaomi, Alibaba are everywhere, some selling overseas, others powering China’s domestic AI ecosystems. - Features like paying for items by glancing at a QR code already exist in China. - China’s AI hardware sector is booming while others are still imagining prototypes. Kai-Fu Lee sums it up perfectly: “China is the nation of manufacturing… the next phase of competition will move to devices.” Exactly. The U.S. builds models. China builds the whole world those models have to run in. Why China Is Leading the AI Device Race? 1️⃣ The world’s strongest hardware ecosystem No country on Earth can design, prototype, manufacture and scale AI devices as fast as China. The ability to build millions of units in months gives China a massive advantage the U.S. simply doesn’t have. 2️⃣ Seamless digital integration Smart glasses plug directly into China’s existing infrastructure: - QR payments - WeChat / Alipay ecosystems - AI-enhanced navigation - Real-time translation and AR overlays The West has apps. China has an entire society built for AI adoption. 3️⃣ Relentless experimentation China is testing everything from: - enterprise AI recorders (DingTalk A1) - Plaud-style pocket transcribers - education-focused AI translators - even the quirky “Native Language Star” muzzle device for English practice Other countries theorise about “the next big thing.” China builds 20 versions of it by lunchtime. 4️⃣ The feedback loop advantage More devices, more usage, more data, faster improvement. China’s scale accelerates AI development in ways the U.S. cannot match. 5️⃣ AI wearables are already normal here Smart eyewear, AI notetakers, live translators, all in daily use. This isn’t sci-fi. This is Tuesday in Beijing. The Global Reality: For China, the AI device race is not hypothetical, it’s happening at street level. For many outside China? They can only imagine this kind of tech and often don’t believe it when they hear about it. Anyone living in China already sees the future everywhere, in convenience stores, on commuters, in classrooms and in the hands of office workers. Meanwhile, most of the world is still arguing about “what AI devices might eventually look like.” The Hard Truth: If the next “iPhone moment” of the AI age is going to come from anywhere, the smart money is on China, a country where hardware innovation, manufacturing power and real-world adoption all move at a speed the West simply can’t match.

Let's discuss how China-haters are hurting the USA. Many US citizens simply cannot accept that the China has become more modern and advanced than the USA. The copium in the quoted tweet is OFF THE CHARTS. This is detrimental to the future of the US, as we need to understand how far behind we are in order to get our head in the game. People insulting China, and refusing to accept China's progress are slowing US development. "We're number one" is a recipe for the failure of the USA. We should be learning from China, not pretending its some backward, undeveloped village-scape. Let me just show you a "third tier city" in China for scale. This is Xiaogan, Hubei, which ranks 180th by urban population. It has high-speed rail, multiple bridges, 14 colleges and universities, 251 general hospitals, a 67.5 billion Yuan lithium battery park, a Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, several expressways, and more. But its considered a small town by comparison to most other Chinese cities. Think about that. Think about how the US can develop using the lessons China has to offer. But, if you want to hurt the USA, then leave ignorant comments which pretend China is backward and undeveloped.

Nothing in China Is Real— It’s Fake From Top to Bottom. From Baby Formula to GDP: How China Learned to Fake Reality. In this episode, we expose the soul-rotting fakeness at the heart of modern China. I moved back to China in 2012 expecting to witness the future: gleaming skyscrapers, high-speed trains, tech innovation. What I found instead was a society built on lies, illusions, and fear. Poisoned baby formula. Defective vaccines. Fake GDP, fake job titles, fake weddings. Even nationalism is a performance act. This video breaks down the systemic fakeness that touches every part of life in China — from food and medicine to data, identity, and ideology. It’s not just a few bad actors. It’s the entire operating system.

“I think the world must realize that China will not converge with Western norms, and it will find its own path to modernity,” Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in a recent interview with the Financial Times, noting that China is a technological leader in many areas, in advanced manufacturing, in renewable energy, and the world has to contend with and accept the reality that China is not just a rising power, it is a risen power. China recently decided to forgo its special and differential treatment provisions in the WTO. In just this past year or so, it has doubled down on its support for global institutions. These are examples of how we have to embrace the reality that China will be a key player, and potentially a key leader, in this new global system, said Wong.

China is not safe for foreigners! This message was pumped out all over Twitter last week, specifically from many people who have never visited China or haven't been here for many years. Even the US State Department has a Level 3 Travel Advisory Warning for US Citizens stating: "Reconsider travel to Mainland China due to the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, including in relation to exit bans, and the risk of wrongful detentions" The reality on the ground is much different. This was filmed yesterday. A group of young Chinese students approached me wanting a photo. I greeted them in Chinese but then switched to English as they wanted to practice English and I also want everyone to hear and understand their exact words: "We think America is good. We think American people are good. We want to be your friends." I've been traveling to China for 17 years. This has been the ONLY reaction I've ever had from Chinese locals. Chinese people love America and they love Americans. In reality, China welcomes ALL foreigners and the country remains an incredible place to travel, visit, and live. Don't let the media tell you what to think. Keep an open mind and go experience life for yourself.

ELON: CHINA HAS AN INCREDIBLE DRIVE TO BUILD “The sheer number of really smart, hard-working people in China is incredible. There's far more of them there than there are here, in my opinion. They've got a lot of energy. The architecture in China in recent years is far more impressive than in the U.S, the train stations, the buildings, the high-speed rail, everything. It's really far more impressive than what we have in the U.S. I recommend somebody just go to Shanghai and Beijing, look at the buildings, and go to take the train from Beijing to Xi'an, where you have the terracotta warriors.” Source: Interview with Lex Fridman, November 2023

🚨NEW: Peter Thiel with Joe Lonsdale on tariffs, trade policy, and China. "You need a very drastic reset with China. In theory, you need to reset with other people, but what we really need to get them to do is also reset things with China." Full episode drops next week! JOE: We've been talking about China on and off for over 20 years, and their imbalances. This week the President declared trade war on them, effectively, with 125% tariffs as of now; it'll probably change in the next few days. What do you think of the trade and tariff policy? What's gonna happen? Bond yields sold off more than I expected. The yields went higher than I expected so far. What's going on? PETER: I'm hesitant to comment since obviously it's a very, very fluid situation, but something like the sort of reset that they're talking about now seems where we're going, where you need a very drastic reset with China. In theory you need to reset with other people, but what we really need to get them to do is also reset things with China. I think the rough numbers are that about a quarter of the US trade deficit is bilaterally with China, but another quarter is indirectly with China. So China is sort of half the problem... And then China is the geopolitical rival. So there's a way in which people in Mercedes in Germany are selling cars to the US. We might want to have those pretty well paying jobs in the US and, and not in Germany. And there are all kinds of sort of mercantilist policies that at the margins Germany engages in. But, you know, it's probably not gonna repurpose the Mercedes factory to build tanks to invade the US or something like this. Whereas this sort of dual use problem is the problem with China. ...There are ways the economic relationship with China is fairly efficient.... if people are working for a dollar and a half an hour in a Foxconn factory, we don't really want to get those jobs in Wisconsin. But it is this geopolitical rivalry where... you have to somehow factor in that the economists never are able to factor in properly with China. I'm not sure I would call this the optimistic plan, but the reset in trade that seems desirable to me would be that we radically changed the relationship with China and we sort of induce a lot of other countries to radically change their relationship with China. And that's how we, you know, maybe that's how we build a stronger western alliance of the free world. JOE: Well there's going to be some interesting negotiations in the next few months. Did you think that we could bring, maybe using AI, some more advanced manufacturing here that was in China? Is that a real thing the next decade to do a bunch more here, thanks to our more efficiencies and productivity? PETER: There's probably always a decent amount of things like that. You have to always be extremely granular on how expensive the robots are, how expensive the equipment is, because in some sense, manufacturing has been getting steadily more automated for 250 years. And you've had the machines that make the machines. The machines that make the machines are getting sort of smarter and more complicated. And there are ways in which AI is a quantum leap. There's a way in which it's just, you know, a natural continuation of this, you know, two century long process. I think there are some parts that can be moved to the US with AI. Maybe also if you change some of the environmental rules and some of the other anti-industrial policies we have in the US. But then if parts of this are moved to other emerging market countries. Vietnam is a communist country. It has bad mercantilist policies, but it's not planning to take over the world. And so at the margins, if we can move things from China to Vietnam, that's a big win.

Elon Musk: “China is a manufacturing powerhouse next level. If you take refining of ore, I’d say roughly China does twice as much ore refining on average as the rest of the world combined Like, we actually do rare earth ore mining in the U.S., send the rock… we put it on a train, and then put it on a boat to China, that goes on another train, and goes to the rare earth refiners in China who then refine it, put it into a magnet, put it into a motor subassembly, and then send it back to America So, we’re really missing a lot of ore refining in America. We kind of need Optimus, frankly, to build ore refineries. We definitely can’t win with just humans because China has four times our population… the average work ethic in China is higher than in the U.S. So we can’t win on the human front, but we might have a shot at the robot front”

Russian girls explain why they decided to come to China. Videos about China on TikTok and IG are doing more for tourism than any ad campaign ever could. 🇨🇳 No wonder why all the Sinophobes on this social media go ballistic over innocuous and apolitical content: DIY videos, drone shots of neon cities, or simple daily vlogs. Most of this is just leaked from Douyin and Red Note (Xiaohongshu); it wasn't even intended for a Western audience, let alone a non-Chinese audience. China’s modernization and sophistication have become a massive soft power instrument in and of themselves. The Sinophobic Westoids know it and they hate it. Their double standard is loud: neon lights and shiny skylines are “aesthetic” in Japan, but “propaganda” the moment they’re in China. That’s why they have to resort to the “Gansu’s remote village” trope every time they see something cool about China. They hate seeing the reality of China’s modernization. While some in the West remain stuck in this cycle of denial, the rest of the world is watching with growing fascination.

Rethinking Everyday Life in China 🇨🇳🇺🇸 She’s not saying everything in China is perfect, nor is she packing her bags to move there tomorrow. But the more she learns, the more she starts to understand why the American government has worked so hard to control the narrative about China. Take something as simple as ice cubes—why are they so much clearer in China? Unlike in the U.S., where water often needs to be boiled or specially filtered to avoid cloudiness, their ice is consistently crystal clear without extra effort. Then there’s the café culture. The drinks in China not only look better but seem to have more variety, creativity, and attention to detail than what’s found at Starbucks or Dunkin’. The presentation and quality are on an entirely different level. Grocery shopping is another surprise. After watching a Chinese grocery haul, she was stunned—two full bags of fresh, vibrant produce, all for the equivalent of just $5. In the U.S., the same amount would cost significantly more, and the quality often wouldn’t compare. And then there’s breakfast culture. In China, people regularly go out for breakfast—not just for a quick coffee and a pastry, but for a full meal, including a drink, for about $1.50. Meanwhile, a basic coffee in the U.S. can easily cost more than $5. Of course, she’s not ignoring the political and governmental issues in China. There are aspects of communism and state control that she strongly disagrees with. But when it comes to everyday living, what people experience in China seems remarkably better than what Americans are often led to believe. It raises a question—how much of what is said about China is the truth, and how much is carefully crafted messaging designed to prevent people from questioning the state of things at home? 🤔 #RedNote #xiaohongshu #tiktokrefugee

In China, people regularly go out for breakfast—not just for a quick coffee and a pastry, but for a full meal, including a drink, for about $1.50. Meanwhile, a basic coffee in the U.S. can easily cost more than $5. Of course, she’s not ignoring the political and governmental issues in China. There are aspects of communism and state control that she strongly disagrees with. But when it comes to everyday living, what people experience in China seems remarkably better than what Americans are often led to believe. It raises a question—how much of what is said about China is the truth, and how much is carefully crafted messaging designed to prevent people from questioning the state of things at home? 🤔 #RedNote #xiaohongshu #tiktokrefugee

Elon Musk explains the raw truth on China’s manufacturing edge and why Optimus is America’s real shot at staying competitive “China is a manufacturing powerhouse next level. If you take refining of ore, I’d say roughly China does twice as much ore refining on average as the rest of the world combined Like, we actually do rare earth ore mining in the U.S., send the rock… we put it on a train, and then put it on a boat to China, that goes on another train, and goes to the rare earth refiners in China who then refine it, put it into a magnet, put it into a motor subassembly, and then send it back to America So, we’re really missing a lot of ore refining in America. We kind of need Optimus, frankly, to build ore refineries. We definitely can’t win with just humans because China has four times our population… the average work ethic in China is higher than in the U.S. So we can’t win on the human front, but we might have a shot at the robot front”

This video shares a tremendous insight into China most Westerners have no idea about. A few weeks ago I attended the World AI Conference in Shanghai. While walking through the Tencent booth, I was approached by this young Chinese man who recognized me from YouTube. I was recording a video of the event and decided to an impromptu interview on the spot. Ethan was a Facebook software engineer working for Instagram. He quit his job and came back to China because he feels the future of tech and most importantly AI is in China. Every day in Western media we hear: China is collapsing! But when you go to China and experience it yourself, you'll find the truth is quite different. Full Video 👇

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world. But if you look at what has happened in the world in the last couple of years, it is not China. It is the United States. It is Israel. It is the G7. It is NATO. It is the Western powers who claim to be the international community.’ —Chen Weihua （陈卫华）, former EU Bureau Chief of China Daily, on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

Kevin O’Leary says the quiet part out loud about what Secretary Rubio’s speech meant in Munich: “You’re either with us — or you’re not.” O’Leary then laid out the nightmarish dystopian future if China were to win global dominance. This was a direct warning to all of Europe. O’LEARY: “This all started a few weeks ago at Davos on the famous speech Carney gave, the prime minister of Canada, with the words ‘new world order.’ That did not go well with the Trump administration, as you remember.” “Actually, it hurt relations with Canada at this point, which hasn’t really restarted on the tariff front.” “The point is though we are getting to a place now where there’s only adversary, and I think it’s time to just call it out, China. That’s it.” “And so you either are with us, so to speak, against China, or you’re not.” “Because China is getting ready for world dominance.” “I call it what it is. Economically, militarily, AI, power, you name it, those guys are not fooling around, and if we don’t wake up and get together on this, they will be the superpower.” “Now, if you’re okay with that and you want to live in that kind of a world, well, I don’t. So I’d like to see this thing worked out pretty damn fast.” “Because Europe has to get on board, Canada has to get on board, everybody that believes in democracy, freedom and capitalism has to get on board.” “Or, you will see those guys walk into your country one day.”
