  1. AI: Who actually believes what China says about AI? China has NEVER led in any technology research. And China has ALWAYS used technology for its own purposes, mostly surveillance and propaganda. China can’t even get its demos right. 😀

  2. What’s the point in a CPI that doesn’t include food and energy? Those are the main thing the average person will be concerned with.

  3. The Luna New Year lets not forget this was the time Chiiinnna unleashed Covid-19 upon
    the rest of the world killing millions and acting dumb and saying we did not do this.

  4. Please look at Japan. It
    …has been discharging Fukushima nuclear wastes into Pacific Ocean since 2011;
    …has been conducting cruel and greedy whaling all the time;
    …invaded and occupied Liuchiu (Ryukyu) islands and has been brutally suppressing indigenous people;
    …started WW2, invaded US, China, Korea and other Asian countries;
    …made at least 173 massacres in occupied cities in WW2;
    …organized army comfort women in WW2;
    …set up Unit 731 using living human beings for biochem experiments in WW2;
    …made notorious Bataan Death March killing about 80,000 war prisoners in 1942;
    …was the only country using poison gas bombs in WW2.
    …is trying to steal Diaoyu Island from China and Dokdo Island from South Korea.
    …Japan started WW2 and was defeated, so Potsdam Declaration and Cairo Declaration forever forbid
    Japan to own invading military power and limit its military expenses to ensure world peace will not be
    threatened by Japan’s war nature again, but Japan has already much badly broken the declarations
    by substantially boosting its arms capability and increasing its spending on arms year by year.
    …is quietly stocking about 47 tons of plutonium enough for making 6000 nuclear bombs.
    …and more…

  5. If China was not allowed to lie cheat or steal it would have failed decades ago. China is full of liars, thieves, and clowns.

  6. Making a "me-too" model that is 80-90% as good as a frontier model (like with DeepSeek) shouldn't ever have been taken as meaningful. Doing so simply follows a set of procedures. You just need to have GPUs and no immediate concern of profit (notably this isn't a concern if your goal is not business or AI development, but soft power projection). Thus, it represents nothing in terms of innovation and tech prowess. One thing that seems overstated here is the impact of GPU restrictions on the matter. In terms of large parameter LLM training for DeepSeeks, this generally is insignificant. With the models they made, not much is changed by whether they take one month less due to having access to better chips. (Not to say it isn't significant in other scenarios).

  7. I wrote a book in which the CCP enslaves its Turing machines. It seems they've already laid the groundwork. And the PRC doesn't have a human rights record. It has a historically preeminent butcher's bill.

  8. You should visit China, talk to ordinary people, and then comment. Chinese economy is still growing very fast, having lived in China I see opposite of decline

  9. GUYS… I really thought I understood money. Then I started reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl and halfway through the book I realized why everything I was taught never worked. This isn’t motivation. It’s explanation.

  10. I picked up the book Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl thinking it would repeat the same advice. It didn’t. Reading it felt like someone finally explained the part everyone avoids.

  11. I’ve read plenty of finance books. None of them hit like Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl. When you read it, you see why hard work alone keeps so many people stuck.

  12. There’s this quiet frustration you carry when money never adds up. Reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl put words to that feeling for me.

  13. REAL TALK: after I read Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, I understood why schools and jobs never explain how money actually moves. It’s uncomfortable, but it finally makes sense.

  14. I didn’t finish this book feeling “motivated.” I finished Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl feeling aware. That difference matters.

  15. I used to think people were exaggerating about this book. Then I read Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl myself. Now I get why it’s rarely talked about.

  16. This isn’t about getting rich fast. Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl explains why the system rewards some behaviors and quietly punishes others.

  17. After reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, you don’t see money the same way. It feels like you finally learned rules that were never meant to be taught.

  18. All this China dumping yet the world buys their good which is no longer all junk as this channel supporters wish. Why don’t you put out videos about the commonwealth and how unstable it is. And how its illegal migrants have disrupted your societies. Where is the commonwealth manufacturing? Do a series on your opium wars . It was I legal narcotic sales to break into the Chinese market. Now that China is open you fear it and try to discredit all Chinese people. You also can’t pronounce any names of Chinese people and locations properly. You and your channel only show the bad or more often the embellished bad die. Do a video on your own homeless hypocritical parasites is what you people of this channel are.

  19. so Japanese firms are selling tech equeptment to CHINA, anything for a BUCK. THEIR management people should be HUNG IN PUBLIC.
