Well done China. Way to kick some western but!

all the ratfuckery, dirty tricks and double dealing, by these rules based on our orders, shysters, always come back to haunt them. what huawei has gone through as a company, mirrors what the russian federation has gone through as country. both of them have emerged the stronger for the illegal sanctions, tariffs, embargos and bans imposed upon them. those placing the tariffs, sanctions and bans, have damaged the very companies they are trying to illegally protect from the “free market” forces, that have outcompeted them.

this has also driven both huawei and russia to be more self sufficient in their supply chain, further damaging, the companies and countries that started these illegal trade wars, through loss of business and reciprocating sanctions and tariffs. the more rules based orders they issue, the more they damage their own ponzi scheme economies and hasten the demise of their imperial rule.

russia is now producing their own passenger planes, completely in house, as a result of the illegal sanctions, to prevent the embargo of parts and planes from western sources, such as iran has been subjected to for decades. now these planes will be exported and be much cheaper alternatives, to boeing and airbus. while the e.u. will illegally refuse to certify them, to prevent their sale in the e.u., they will cut into their export markets. every week we seem to hear of another boeing jet liner going down, as they quality has crashed as well, out sourcing their engineering and dei advancements driving more qualified workers into retirement.

the russians are now producing their own luxury cars, that will again rival any western luxury car, further damaging western car makers.

What is a Tech Stack?

Huawei started off by selling bootleg copies of US routers … up to and including a copy of the instruction manual with the same typos. LOL!!!!!!!

I think it refers to their software ecosystem, which is now completely indigenized, starting from the operating system (i.e. HarmonyOS Next, where the former version was still based on parts of code relying on Android) to the applications targeting the end-users.

Perhaps the author includes also the hardware layers but despite producing their own chips from now on, I am not sure that Chinese companies manufacture their own semiconductors yet.

Once TSMC faces serious competition against mainland China, could they be more encline to rejoin the motherland as it is the Taiwan main powerhourse providing Nvidia and AMD and leading the US Pentagon to interfere with such malevolence?

To sum up the tech stack meaning (from my point of view):
semiconductor -> chip -> operating system -> software applications

@Reply to my self:

Michael Hudson (who is an author writing on unz.com) claims that China produces and export 40% of its semiconductors to US defense sector at https://michael-hudson.com/2024/07/all-of-our-wealth-has-been-coming-from-you/

I can not comment on it as I have not the required knowledge.

Huawei is a genuinely impressive company and much of that tech looks great, but it is not a great sign that they’re jumping on this stupid AI bandwagon too. This AI bubble is going to come crashing down, because its uses are fairly limited, then Huawei will have wasted billions on worthless tech, the flip side of having all that money to spend.

The big problem moving forward for Huawei, and all Big Tech companies like google or whoever, is that software is fundamentally different than previous technologies, much more about ideas and with very low capital costs. That is why even free-priced, open-source software like linux or Chromium dominates the world today.

However, people always recreate the past, so they’ve built large software conglomerates by following the industrial model of Ford or GM, with software tech that fundamentally isn’t suited for that.

This cannot hold and all the Big Tech software companies, whether Apple or Huawei or Microsoft, will fail in the coming years, when faced with guerrilla competition online from the few software engineers who finally figure that out, similar to how the guerilla linux kernel is now vastly deployed more than the previously dominant corporate Windows software.

That is the real problem that western Big Tech will soon face, and it will take down much of Huawei and Tencent too.

Double-talking thugs can only get so far with limited intelligence, rigged competition and service to bigger thugs.

Mentioning Google is a joke, even for search. It is now just a propaganda service and censor.

i read somewhere that china will be building some tech factories is the US soon, because of the “tarrifs”. will huawei be one of them?

Advanced silicon fabricating has been a global affair. Nvidia designs its chips, however the Taiwan company TSMC manufactures them, using ASML (a Dutch company) machines.

With sanctions, the US is essentially forcing China to become vertically integrated in the chip making process. When this happens there will be no need for China to outsource, buy or smuggle from abroad. This is the main reason that Trump wants TSMC to build fabs in the US. They expect that eventually Taiwan will rejoin the mainland, and when that happens their access to Taiwan tech will no longer be assured.

As it is, voices in Taiwan consider TSMC to be ‘selling out’ Chinese interests to the US. But with the DPP holding plurality power, what can they do? The DPP is beholden to the US for its existence. If they say ‘No’, then the US will show them the door. At the same time, once the US secures the tech from TSMC it might be Goodbye Charlie for the DPP anyhow.

The US is making moves toward China as quickly as they can, but getting NATO on board first requires the US to convince the Alliance to abandon Ukraine. With characters like Rutte, Starmer, and Kaja Kallas involved, that’s easier said than done.

The Empire would like to resurrect the old SEATO, without overly militarizing Japan. Hard to imagine that. Plus, Australia may be getting tired of being Empire raped. Manila will be on board, allowing the US to use the island for an airbase– at least as long as they keep Bongbong’s wife in shoes. But they pose no real threat to China, acting more like an obnoxious chihuahua running around barking and snipping, on command.

Next, the ME (meaning Iran) is somewhat of a headache for the US, and they would like regime change over there–mainly to stop Iran’s trade with China (but also to try and control Israel’s paranoia over Iran even existing).

Finally, there is India, which is attempting to pick up some manufacturing fallout from China sanctions. Modi will do what is best for Modi, so the US can’t really count on him, long-term, unless they can keep funneling economic opportunities his way. Then of course there is the China-Pakistan angle for him to consider.

Huawei started off by selling bootleg copies of US routers…

The company started out producing switches for telephony, first sourced from Hong Kong, then reversed engineered domestically. This was in the early ’90s. Their routers didn’t come along until 2000 or so. You really need to get away from the YT click bait.

As far as copying tech? That’s pretty much standard business practice. Think of Microsoft. How much of their stuff was developed in-house, on their own? Not much. Xenix, MSDOS, OS/2, the GUI concept, their compression program Double Space (in DOS 6)… all came from elsewhere. Some paid for. Some questionably hi-jacked.

What really matters in tech is not so much who came up with the first idea, but who makes the best use of it.

Congratulations. You’re that much further along on the road to totalitarianism—not that this would trouble you Chinese.

Good post. Also appreciate the book recommendation.

China is also building the world’s first space-born computer.

China Launches AI Supercomputer in Space—Powered by 2,800 Satellites

China has officially begun assembling the most ambitious space-based computing project in human history: the Three-Body Computing Constellation, a massive AI supercomputer in orbit made of 2,800 interconnected satellites. This revolutionary project promises to redefine the limits of data processing, Earth observation, and AI capabilities in ways previously thought impossible.

https://engineerine.com/ai-supercomputer-in-space/

then reversed engineered domestically

HMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like another way of saying “selling bootleg routers”! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

You Commie Chink Bastards should really start to learn when to shut the hell up!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

As far as copying tech? That’s pretty much standard business practice.

Only if you pay licencing/royalty fees to the patent holder … which Huawei has a habit of not doing … like the vast majority of Chinklander companies.

Huawei can beg forgiveness from Nortel.

“looks like someone put a Maybach, a Rolls and a Porsche in the blenderâ€�.

“The Maextro S800 doesn’t just look great and has a 1,006 horsepower electric engine; its starting price is a modest $98,000 in China.”

Maybach, Rolls and Porsche all look the same, no imagination, no individuality, no soul. Now, while I will acknowledge that the Chinese have done some impressive things in engineering, I’m afraid we are all slipping into a Chinese world, where you can have any color as long as it’s black. The above mentioned car is just more of the same outside, regardless of what’s on the inside.

My European soul cries for individuality, not the false individuality pushed by the advocates of tattoos, grafitti and torn clothes. I mean the individuality of free thinking, and freedom to express those views without fear of reprisal, I mean the freedom to escape from the monotonous sameness of the mass consumer culture where all architecture, industrial design and art follows a predictable and pedestrian path. Give me the classic lines of the past, the splendid cars, the beauties of art deco and beaux arts buildings, the classical styles, and art that’s inspired by nature not chaos.

I see a lot of blondes in my city, but most of them are not Scandinavians, they are orientals, even they are desperate to get out of the miasma of sameness that the international consumer culture smothers us with, it matters not if it’s one created by the US or China, the end product is the same, you can have any color as long as it’s black.

Asked accurately, What’s an AI Tech stack?

An AI tech stack is the collection of tools, technologies, and infrastructure necessary to develop, deploy, and manage artificial intelligence systems. It’s essentially the blueprint for building AI solutions, encompassing everything from data processing and model training to deployment and monitoring. Think of it as the foundation upon which AI applications are built.

Data:
AI relies heavily on data. This involves data collection, storage, processing, and feature engineering.
AI Frameworks:
These are the software libraries and platforms that provide the building blocks for AI models. Examples include TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras.
Programming Languages:
Python is the most popular language for AI development due to its extensive libraries and community support.
Hardware:
AI models require powerful computing resources. This can include specialized hardware like GPUs and TPUs, as well as cloud-based infrastructure.
Deployment and Monitoring:
This involves putting the AI model into production and tracking its performance over time.
AI Workflows:
These are the sequential steps involved in developing and training an AI model, typically following a data-model-deploy order.
MLOps:
This refers to the practices and tools used to manage the machine learning lifecycle, including model deployment, monitoring, and retraining.

Since you were so far ahead of the curve to be aware of Huawei around the year 2000, you must be kicking yourself in the ass for not buying some shares, right assclown?

the YT click bait.

It is click bait for normal people.

But it is high grade Copium for this creature.

Maybach, Rolls and Porsche all look the same, no imagination, no individuality, no soul.

Looking good not the point of these cars.

The point is to convey “My estates/investments make me more money in 1 minute than you will ever make in your lifetime. Now get out of my way, peasant!”.

No, we will not participate in your jew usury racket. The less money that is fed to the jew cartel that is the patent and licence system the better. Stay mad. What’s yours is ours. What’s ours is also ours.

My European soul cries for individuality, not the false individuality pushed by the advocates of tattoos, grafitti and torn clothes.

There is nothing stopping your European soul from customizing your ride using aftermarket upgrades. Individualize to your heart’s content. This entire post screams a lack of imagination.

That “holding” situation looked suspicious.

I didn’t read all the “evidence” claimed against her, so I can’t rush to judgement.

As long as Huawei have done their R&D ethically (plenty of companies across the world who don’t), I’m fine with whichever new processes they bring to the betterment of live for their domestic and export markets.

Best wishes to them – with prosperity and security.

Hua Bin’s next article:
“China launches world’s fastest baboon de-fleaer AI robot silicon techno-babble factory”.

Huawei is a genuinely impressive company and much of that tech looks great, but it is not a great sign that they’re jumping on this stupid AI bandwagon too. This AI bubble is going to come crashing down, because its uses are fairly limited, then Huawei will have wasted billions on worthless tech, the flip side of having all that money to spend.

You’re wrong and Huawei is right in investing in AI (better called Artificial Heuristics).

AI is much more than LLM. The link you quoted is just about LLM but LLM are the least impactful subfield of AI.

All you do, all around you, everything, from the movement of a CO2 molecule you exhale to your reading of this reply and your opinions about it, can be represented by time series of mathematically connected numbers, and when these numbers are collected and stored, they are data.

When states and companies started to collect and store that data from people, facilitated by digital records, that was called Big Data.

Now, how to connect/analyze all that Big Data to produce useful applications?

Slowly by human geniuses developing mathematical models of cause and effect (human intelligence), OR, fast by empirical models discovered by machines running billions of regressions (artificial heuristics).

The latter is AI in a nutshell.

The most important applications of AI are in science and industry, not in funny and PR-oriented LLM such as Claude and DeepSeek. Check this:

https://doi.org/10.4155/fdd-2020-0028

Actually, the numerical core of AI is what matters, a thing called “machine learning”.

Huawei collect and store Big Data from users/clients. It would be stupid of Huawei not to harvest that data for applications in its business.

That Chinese car displayed looks really elegant. Call it affordable extravagance. Its demise will come when the EV market collapses because the product is really unjustified by the phony climate crisis, which it does not even ameliorate! A solution in search of a problem I’d say.

China is an expansive patch of geography–big as America–and I’m sure the natives would love tooling around it just as we Americans loved to see the USA in our Chevrolets back in the ’50’s. With EV’s they’ll be pretty much confined to the crowded cities on their East Coast. Last I heard, Musk had committed to ditching his electric Teslas powered by exploding massive Lithium batteries in favor of internal combustion engines burning hydrogen (rather than its catalysis in fuel cells).

Hey, Elwood, looks like the 2080 Buicks are already out.

In my opinion, Huawei is doing the right thing. If a country, organization, business, or individual wants to get something done: design, build, code, or operate. You are saying that doing without AI is fine, or even preferred. I am not sure designers, tech people, engineers, and managers that actually get things done would agree with that strategy. While still early days, AI tech has become a game changer in many areas. As we speak, a lot of effort is being put into finding the best strategy for this technology. If there were two teams at war with each other: team A that is planing on using a lot of AI tech, and you are on team B that had no interest in using AI: I can only say that you are putting yourself at a considerable disadvantage. I speak from experience, my productivity is much improved by using AI and I can tackle much more ambitious projects. And as the tech improves, I see the day coming where it becomes unthinkable to design something or to start a project without some level of AI help: in fact I think we are already there.

“Rules based order” could be more aptly named as “Our Rules based Your Plunder”

Some countries have woken up to the plunder and rid themselves of the western looters. Russia, China and some countries in Africa for instance.

I pity the citizens of the West for being the victims of the real PTB that are mainly the “City� in London and Wall Street in Amerika. Those culprits will never willingly cede any power or bow to the realities of losing to the competition fairly and squarely. They have managed, through their totally corrupt and subservient media, to colonize the Western mind to the point that Western society is driven to the slaughterhouse like lambs.

Meanwhile the charismatic Orange man will keep playing his PR shows and help the deep state plug the deficit in military recruitment that was caused by the nonstop hammering on White folks by the Zionist agents who permeate all aspects of the deep state’s apparatus.

The Chinese and the Russians have learned their lessons and both embarked on a trip into industrial independence from the West. Will Iran finally realize that playing defense with the Western PTB will simply endanger her very existence. It is time for Iran to leave the NPT and embark on building her own nuclear deterrent.

Just in case anyone wants to see the marketing videos.

This said, the Western policy toward Huawei, and TikTok, and certainly Toshiba (widely, Japan most outstanding achievements and achievers in sectors such as electronics: which in the end got successfully curbed and economically reduced to global irrelevancy) is deserving of the ugliest adjectives, and also a potent clue to the West having divorced its unparalleled cultural Western heritage.
The West has a new, different ruling elite, and no longer remember the Western inheritance: it is the West while it no longer is Western.

Western man is just bitter that the Chinese have succeeded, when it is all that the Chinese deserve after decades of hard work. Meanwhile, the West continues to be destroyed by a parasite that the West refuses to acknowledge and the Chinese refuse to “open up” to, and all the Western man can do as his civilisation slides into the abyss is carp about continued Chinese success from the sidelines.

Unintended consequences are a bitch.

What did our hapless US Elites expect when for the past 50 years they shipped operations jobs overseas—and financialized the US economy—so they could all become billionaires.

In the US last year 136,233 engineering degrees where awarded—in China, over ten times more engineering degrees were awarded, at 1,600,000.

US Elites fucked the USA economy and how the US Elites are crying about what THEY THEMSELVES HAVE DONE!!!!!

The US needs New US Elites. and the US needs to claw back the money from the financialized billionaires.

Thank you Hua Bin for your always interesting articles.

Most of the world has the goods already. But not the US. High tariffs, lack of dealers, and other regulations keep you from buying a cheap pickup truck or car from China.

On the other hand, your local Ford dealer will be happy to sell you a market adjusted F-150 for seventy large (discounted from the eighty thousand MSRP), and all on a 96 month installment plan– that way you can still afford fast food, lite beer, and Netflix. Not only that, but you’ll get at least five recalls during the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty period, all at no extra charge.

Western man is just bitter that the Chinese have succeeded, when it is all that the Chinese deserve after decades of hard work.

No doubt the Chinese worked their collective asses off as Americans, simultaneously, have gotten lazier and lazier. Still, I wonder how much truth there is in the claims that the Chinese not only trade unfairly, but that they also flat-out stole A LOT of Western know-how/technology much in the way the Israelis/Jews stole American material/technology to build their first nuclear bombs.

Meanwhile, the West continues to be destroyed by a parasite that the West refuses to acknowledge and the Chinese refuse to “open upâ€� to…

Ironically, the Chinese themselves are called “The Jews of Asia” for their clannishness, their unscrupulous business practices, and the many other negative, Jew-like, characteristics they exhibit.

The Chinese have the Jews number, good for them. Ultimately, it takes one to know one.

Well, well well! Look who hates the Free Market now! There is NOTHING about the “Free” Market as it is defined by the paid mouthpieces/wh#res in the Western Mainstream Media (MSM). What the alleged “Free” Market is really about is Monopolism. Always has been. And as an aside these Free Market “Economists” have always known they were lying.

All Chinese tech is going to be banned in the West.

Will Iran finally realize that playing defense with the Western PTB will simply endanger her very existence.

i think this has been a major wakeup call for iran, turns out they were the ones, that didn’t want to sign a mutual defense treaty with russia, or any other country for that matter. they didn’t even sign off on the stratic agreement with russia, until june 16th, better late than never. this was a very painful learning experience for them but even more painful for israel, once again biting off more than they could chew. israel will never learn from their mistakes but iran will, they have already been talking with the russians, they have already rounded up over 700 mossad agents and israel will never again be able to pull off this kind of operation again. their vaunted iron dome, david’s sling, patriots and even thaad system, have all been shredded by iranian hypersonics, that m0re than lived up to their reputation. israel has lost its once indominable image, they have now decided to beat up on gaza again, hamas gave them a very warm welcome.

as far as a nuclear deterrent is concerned, pakistan has now sided with iran, as it turns out mossad tried to attack their nuclear facility with drones during india’s attack. yet another own goal by israel, bringing iran and pakistan together, who would have that would come to pass, there’s even rumors that pakistan, like a good neighbor, will lend them a cup of warheads, for their dandy missiles, what a combo.

I have worked on a Toshiba site years ago. In a way it was fun, old-school exercises and so on. At times, the boss would sometimes take us to a bar after work, he loved the mama-san of the bar (who wasn’t his wife), and would give money to the rest of us to go home and stop on the way home for a recharge. It was fun at the peak of the bubble economy.

The site now hosts only Toshiba elevator testing towers. No semiconductor memory or device development has been there for many years. many years. Ynu may be correct as to the company still making DRAM, but I very much doubt it.

The first step in countering the oriental super high tech onslaught is for the USA to formulate an industrial policy and establish a cabinet level department dedicated to same. But when someone mentions a Secretary of Industry, “movement cons” along with the media and certain academics shout out the words, “picking winners and losers.”

The corrosive effect of globalism on US manufacturing is best illustrated by what happened to the US television set industry. There are no US television manufacturers today. In 1968 there were 28 US companies in that business. Japan, Incorporated schemed to drive the US television and consumer electronics businesses out of the business with the connivance of certain US officials like (((Robert Strauss))), Jimmy Carter’s special trade representative to Japan. It’s well documented.

schadenfreude, the emotional experience of pleasure in response to another’s misfortune.

Schadenfreude is a German word that combines Schaden, which means “damage,� and Freude, which means “joy.� The concept is common to people across cultures, but some languages do have comparable words.

You can now thank me for expanding your knowledge of both English and German! LOL!!!!!!!!

Someone should help and support Iran. Both Russia and China did not help Iran in this US-Israel war against Iran. Russia was playing game along with US against Iran.

More than 300 BYD E9 cars have been sold at scrap prices. They’re all compared to Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, with configurations that are even better than BBA’s. The key point is, the price is just a fraction of what BBA would charge. They’re all zero-kilometer used cars, pure electric ones. If you want them, come quick. They’re all priced like scrap metal, sold by the kilogram.

You can’t own ideas. That’s a lie the Jews invented so they could take over all media and tax all industry.

More blatant anti-China propaganda from America’s third favorite extremist cult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Times

The YouTuber “China Observer� is part of Vision Times or KhanZhangGuo, which is operated by Falun Gong

Banning and sanctioning is a sign of fear, not power. It’s always a short term fix never a solution. Short term fixes are what a financial system driven economy is all about.

I’m not thinking about AI in a political sense at this moment. I’m reporting how extremely practical it is. Microsoft Copilot has saved me money and loads of time, and it has served me far better than any doctor in diagnosing and treating medical issues. I tell it what I need, then elaborate, incisive answers instantly appear.

Now, Microsoft is a company of very questionable morals that, like Google and the world’s most evil company, Palantir, seeks to enslave us. And it’s politically correct as governed by billionaires, Israel and all the world’s richest scumbags. So, there are many topics that cannot be profitably discussed with AI machines.

Overall, I was much more comfortable in the analog age, but here we are. I take what I can use .

The Falon Gong cultists seem to have decided spamming this site is a suitable way to help out their Jew Goon Donny in his quest to turn America into a banana republic.

Ahhh the classic American cope to Chinese technology. They copied us, implying technology is somehow invented in the void, advancements are never built on what came before it???? When gunpowder came to Europe, perhaps the honorable thing would have been rejection and continuing to fight with swords and spears. We forget, America’s space program was built on Nazi technology. Something as ubiquitous as Swept wings on a Boeing 737, also a Nazi technology. Grow up, copy and make better, it’s how the future happens.

EV’s are junk for obese idiots, the real motive behind that except making money is to transform personal and free ways of transportation into spying tools and controlling devices. The electronic is probably already configured to fail anyway.

My old car from the 90’s will still be able to drive while even their Chinese shit will be scrap too.

AI, really stands for ‘Augmented Idiocy’.

Have anyone noticed that since people got addicted to smartphone and social media they became more stupid and less able to perform complex thoughts?

No wonder that this kind of crap comes from a communist regime.

Analog will be the emerging market

Modernity Fears New Fascist Analogue Film Camera – ‘Pentax 17’

https://www.unz.com/article/modernity-fears-new-fascist-analogue-film-camera-pentax-17/

If anybody has a link to a decent analysis of this oddity I would be interested to see it.

Not an analysis, just some observations. Once private Chinese companies get over a certain size, they are basically looted into extinction. Either upper management loots the money, and then transfers it overseas before themselves fleeing there, or the government does the looting.

Half a decade ago, Jack Ma was basically imprisoned while being forced to sign over ownership of his stock holdings. Some owners get imprisoned or killed in the process.

Modern Chinese have a name for one version of this looting called “off shore fishing”. Basically when one province is short of money, it makes up a complaint about a company in another province and then issues massive fines, seizing the bank accounts of the “off shore” company.

I think of it as “mowing the lawn” as any corporation over a certain size will almost always get looted.

and there you have why Chinese stocks under perform.

Hope this helps.

Huge THANKS @Hua Bin for your articles, always extremely interesting!

Talking about how the Empire treats the competition, I think we should also remember what happened to two great Italian entrepreneurs in the ’60s:

1) Enrico Mattei
At the end of WWII, he had been given the task of dismantling the public owned energy company ENI; instead he made it stronger and started competing with the “Seven Sisters”. With a difference: whereas those behaved like pirates, shamelessly siphoning resources from Third World countries that were treated as little more than mere colonies, Mattei’s approach was basically the same as nowadays China: ENI would build infrastructures and the profit would be shared between it and the countries. Win-win.
A bomb was planted into his private plane, killing him in 1962.

2) Adriano Olivetti
A visionary, he understood that the future was in computers and (a little known fact) it was in Italy that the first transistors-only computer appeared. His R&D team (lead by the Sino-Italian engineer Mario ZhÅ« – back then spelt “Tchou”) was working on producing the first desktop pc.
He died prematurely in mysterious circumstances in 1960. Zhū got killed in a suspicious car accident the next year. Foul play was highly likely. The computers division got sold to General Electrics.

For those willing to know more, I recommend these books:

“The Enrico Mattei Affair” by David A. Andelman

“The mysterious affair at Olivetti : IBM, the CIA, and the Cold War conspiracy to shut down production of the world’s first desktop computer” by Meryle Secrest

Hua Bin, the greatest adulator and fan boy of China! Ron, can you ls spare us this unreflective self-glorification?

All you do, all around you, everything, from the movement of a CO2 molecule you exhale to your reading of this reply and your opinions about it, can be represented by time series of mathematically connected numbers, and when these numbers are collected and stored, they are data.

When states and companies started to collect and store that data from people, facilitated by digital records, that was called Big Data.

Now, how to connect/analyze all that Big Data to produce useful applications?

Slowly by human geniuses developing mathematical models of cause and effect (human intelligence), OR, fast by empirical models discovered by machines running billions of regressions (artificial heuristics).

The latter is AI in a nutshell.

So, you’re not completely wrong: there is some value in collecting data, examining it, and running it through models, and these new ML models appear to do better on some kinds of unstructured data.

The problem with your argument is that we’ve run the experiment and “Big Data” SaaS companies lose money hand over fist, as do these new ML companies. We’re now approaching $1 trillion invested in this new ML market and so far the returns are horrendous, showing massive losses.

So whatever you may think of the potential of such numerical modeling, the business value has largely not shown up, and at least with “Big Data” we’ve had awhile for it to show, which is why many of these companies pivoted to “AI” in recent years, despite that not working either.

More broadly, there is currently a cult of “mathematical models” in the world, that try to take the limited success we’ve had in number-crunching current flow through a transistor or other highly controlled and well-understood domains and make broad and dumb claims, such as those you make, about much broader extrapolation and modeling that is possible, whether those claiming they can model something as huge and chaotic as the world’s climate with computer simulations or those claiming these LLMs are anything but statistical parrots.

Feynman had a great example in one of his famous lectures, against the silly mechanical determinism of those who claim that if we just know the location and speed of every gas molecule in a closed container, we could then predict all its behavior forever using adiabatic classic mechanics. He instead pointed out that even if we knew the exact position and velocity of the many quintillions of gas molecules in that container at one instant, we would very quickly lose track of all their positions, because of all the rounding and imprecision introduced into the mathematical calculations over time.

Perhaps you don’t understand what he’s talking about, depending on your technical background, but I’m an engineer who has run many such numerical simulations back in grad school and I do. Regardless of your background, and he was arguing with many technical people too at that time, you are greatly mistaken if you think we can use these computers to model anything but fairly limited domains. Those domains can be highly useful or valuable, like a factory floor, but the problem today is that many idiots are extrapolating that out to CO2 molecules and the like, as you just did.

That is never going to happen, and these silly ML models are beyond idiotic for most of the uses they are being put to. Read that Rodney Brooks post above to actually learn something.

So this is how the US gain dominance.

Serptentza also reported the same – didn’t he? The dude earning his living libeling China?

Because American self-glorification is the only self glorification you like?

American: “We are the bestest! most advanced! God’s gift to humanity!!!”
Chinese: “Hey, we are not too bad either. See, this is what we have done”.
American: “How dare you glorify yourself ???!!!!”
Rest of the world: Roll eyes.

What about you —-you ignorant Scandebehoovian—antlers for brains—the forefathers of Swedes—yingle yangle–go eat some scrod–best before low tide—-

Yes. This may have been Mussolini’s meaning of fascism. It is taboo as it contradicts the religious dogma that only the “free market” – and concomittant ururious debt – can deliver progress.

Private intellectual property is fundamentally anti-progress and therefore criminal.

China did send a cargo plane to Iran during the conflict. Nobody can tell what merchandise it carried but I would speculate that it was loaded with air defense weapons.

Putin declared publicly that Iran turned down a Russian offer of mutual defense stating that the Iranians prefer to steer clear from regional alignments as they values their independence.

If Russia and China are to strongly back Iran, Iranians have to commit themselves to a tighter and more principled relationship with the two most important nodes of Asian power, Russia and China. I hope that the experience that went through should teach the Western leaning layers of Iranian societies to reconsider their mirage aim to open a new page with the West based on mutual interests and respect. If the Iranians, with their long ordeals with Western colonialism, cannot see the hopeless addiction of Western powers to unhinged colonialism, then too bad for Iran.

I agree with you vis-a-vis the gist of your reply: it’s not possible to mathematically represent everything, though in principle everything is a numerical flow of mathematically connected time series.

Your error is that contrary to your statement,

Huawei is a genuinely impressive company and much of that tech looks great, but it is not a great sign that they’re jumping on this stupid AI bandwagon too.

it is reasonable for Huawei to invest in AI to harvest as much as possible of users/clients data flow in order to improve their standing in their business. In that limited domain, it makes complete sense to invest in the machine learning core of AI.

Many will fail and waste resources trying to harvest Big Data with AI. But that fact doesn’t imply that all will fail in doing that, not at all, some will succeed and they will have a very strong competitive advantage.

Hua Bin is at it again with his “gee whiz� chest-thumping gingoism. Huawei’s technology breakthroughs are indeed impressive despite the US sanctions imposed on China’s top telecom company. However, Huawei is not the only Chinese tech company to achieve equally impressive technological success in their respective industries in China. Listing them all would fill up volumes of books. So I might as well digress to discuss the socio-economic effects of technological innovations such as Huawei’s HarmonyOS.

As an Operating System, HarmonyOS serves as a platform technology which allows different devices to become connected and made available as part of a unified system. Based on a microkernel architecture, HarmonyOS can be adapted to different devices from smartwatches to smartphones, from TVs to EVs, all connected to become part of its Distributed I/O System. HarmonyOS has a good chance of becoming the industry standard for connected systems which could change consumer lifestyles with its capability to access services in a wide variety of products using a common interface as part of a unified system.

Whatever I was replying to has vanished. Toshiba still makes high-quality flash memory in Japan, but shut down DRAM prodution long ago.

Being more of an engineer than a capitalist (not greedy enough for it), I paid more attention to the U.S. trade wars on Japan in terms of technology than currency (the Plaza accords). Am gratefuk to one commentor on this site for having awoken me to the latter.

However, the tech. attack also worked on many levels.

Under the terms of a bullying treaty from the mid-late 1980s, the U.S.A . was continually bashing producers of DRAM in Japan.

The result: production of high-quality DRAM in Japan continues, but now under the control of a U.S. business that is, in turn, mainly owned by jews.

It’s not so much Russia being on the side of Israel, but Putin. According to Helmer, this is a whispered topic in Russia.

I bought a Huawei phone last time, despite it being without an infrared port, which at the time was still better to have. The Kyocera (preferred brand) and other models weren’t so good.

Excellent battery life for three or four years, was planning to just replace the battery. Dropped my door-key somewhere last month, that worked out OK,

The phone did not, when I tried rebooting it it was displaying many screens that I’d never seen before. On one of them, it offered a full reset, I just hit the ‘off’ button.

When finally back into my flat, and recharged the phone, almost everything had vanished.

Huawei engineers and designers were stupid enough to place memory control functions in battery-backed-up RAM, really imbecilic. So, if the electric charge from the battery is too low, everything disappears.

Sure, recovery from flash memory is likely possible, start on that tomorrow.

The Huawei design fault (placing control over memory access in battery-backed-up RAM) is almost unbelievably stupid.

Putin declared publicly that Iran turned down a Russian offer of mutual defense stating that the Iranians prefer to steer clear from regional alignments as they values their independence.

You are circulating Lies of the zionist Russia here. Israel was created by UK-US-Russia and all three voted to erect the Zionist project in our region. Iran helped Putin with military equipment in Ukraine with a great EXPENSE, but Putin was working closely with enemies of Iran including Turkey, NATO member, in Syria to topple Assad against Iran’s interest. We know what Russia did in Syria to limit Iranian’s movement for her ally ISRAEL. Putin sold-400 to both Turkey, a NATO member, and Saudi Arabia, US puppet, but NOT Iran. Where are those fucking su-35 that zionist Putin promised to transfer to Iran? His offer is limited to being a ‘mediator’ to obtain concessions in Ukraine. He knows how to use Iran as a bargaining chip. This is a very dangerous time and everyone is just thinking how to use the moment to get concessions, similar to Libya where was an opportunity for Russia to obtain concession by not using her VETO against NATO and the US.
Iran is a member of both the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS where should be supported. why should Iran get into these organizations, a platform for ‘multipolor world’ against the Rules Based Order, but the benefits goes to Turkey, a NATO member, and Saudis, a US colony, her enemies, then you are accusing Iran is not being pro EAST enough? while Putin is helping the agents of the West in NATO, but claiming is fighting against NATO? Then, you are telling me about Iran’s relations with the west? Stop circulating the Lies of the zionist media, and use your brain for a change. These are all lies to exonerate the ZIONIST Russia where has been an ally of the evil empires, UK and US for a long time. UK and US used Russia for decades against Muslims, and Russia cooperated with them. Now, they have a stronger hands against Russia, because Russia was a weaker link. Putin should have learned something. Putin views her own creation, genocidal Israel, as an ALLY, not Iran. Shame on him.
You are repeating the lies of the zionist media and have no clue what is happening in Iran. Believe what you want to believe. Russia, for her own sake, needs Iran. No one expects Russia to fight for Iran, but expects to support Iran with military equipment, not empty words. Russian’s behavior in Syria, and the Caucasus is alarming where has injected distrust.

So sorry but english is the universal language, by many magnitudes. Lady doth protest too much.

English is the third most spoken language in the world, after Chinese and Spanish.

Before English became the official language of the USA on March 1, 2025, the USA did not have any official language.

Designating English as the Official Language of The United States – The White House
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/designating-english-as-the-official-language-of-the-united-states/

The USA also barred Japan from developing its TRON project which started in 1984:

https://museum.ipsj.or.jp/en/computer/os/ntt/0057.html

The TRON Project began in June 1984 as a collaborative industry/academia project with the University of Tokyo. In 1982, an OS Subgroup (Chairman: Sakamura Ken) was established in the Microcomputer Software Application Special Interest Group of the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. This Subgroup proposed a unique vision for microcomputer development in Japan and presented its findings as a report in 1983. As a result of these findings, the TRON Project was launched in June 1984 as a collaborative industry/academia project for actually implementing the report, with the goal of building a new computer architecture.

The purpose was to build a cooperative system with distributed functionality (i.e., a system with ultra-distributed functionality) to enable connection of an extremely high number of computers and enable them to fulfill their different purposes simultaneously and in parallel while maintaining their inter-relationships. Research and development was done by establishing a number of subprojects: TRON specification chips (a microprocessor architecture using VLSI), ITRON (real-time OS for embedded systems), BTRON (OS specifications for personal computers and workstations, and related specifications), MTRON (additional specifications for interconnection of the above OS), and the TRON electronic device/human interface (standard guidelines for the human interfaces of various types of electronic devices).

From my reading, it was not one but three large (or huge) cargo aeroplanes.

Not any more protected than US based Corporations are protected. The US “Free”Market allows Microsoft to become a monopoly. Elon Musk’s electric car can’t compete with Chinese electric cars so they ban Chinese cars in the USA. Then there are the tax breaks US based corporations get. There is HEAVY government intervention into the US Economy. It makes China look like true Free marketers. The US Economy is a Monopoly Economy. The exact opposite of a Free Market economy.

Huawei has started to recover from the U.S. ban on using TSMC’s wafer fabs to make its Kirin chipsets for its smartphone brands. I bought the Huawei Pura 70 last year because of its retractable camera lens which supports 5x optical zoom with optical image stabilization. Huawei’s Kirin 9000S1 chipset for the Pura 70 was fabricated by SMIC using its 7nm process in China. Huawei’s latest smartphones released this year supposedly has a faster Kirin processor fabricated also by SMIC using its 5nm process in China. However, I am not too keen to upgrade to the latest models because the performance improvement is barely noticeable. That’s probably the reason why Huawei is focusing more on smartphone features like variable-aperture camera with optical zoom, fast-charging battery, dual- or triple-foldable screen, AI functionality, etc. Huawei’s best bet is its HarmonyOS platform which other Chinese OEMs have already adopted.

By the way, Huawei does not make nor sell cars. They just partnered with automakers to use HarmonyOS and co-brand their cars.

Am gratefuk to one commentor on this site for having awoken me to the latter.

You’re welcome Che.

And as the tech improves, I see the day coming where it becomes unthinkable to design something or to start a project without some level of AI help: in fact I think we are already there.

Agree with that.

Ref. this fascinating interview with Geoffrey Hinton. 1.5 hours but worth it.

The stunting of the growth of Japan in 1985 was unleashed on Japan because it was growing too strong economically.

Now, Germany and other vassal nations are facing the same fate not because they are growing too strong, but because daddy USA is weakening, so it needs to consume some assets.

In Germany, it was done with remarkable legal chicanery at the end of the previous govt, by dropping the constitutionally set limit on govt debt.

Ironically, the Chinese themselves are called “The Jews of Asia� for their clannishness, their unscrupulous business practices, and the many other negative, Jew-like, characteristics they exhibit.

The Chinese have the Jews number, good for them. Ultimately, it takes one to know one.

With the difference that the Chinese are into manufacturing while the Jews aren’t.

If Jews were interested in manufacturing, things might have turned out differently.

Total number of speakers native and non-native 2024

Now, Germany and other vassal nations are facing the same fate not because they are growing too strong, but because daddy USA is weakening, so it needs to consume some assets.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Europe has been weakening compared to the US for the past two decades. Adding another layer of government to the continent, while turning socialist can do that! LOL!!!

In Germany, it was done with remarkable legal chicanery at the end of the previous govt, by dropping the constitutionally set limit on govt debt.

For the past decade the EU central bank has kept interest rates at flat or NEGATIVE just to make the interest costs on EU government debt low enough to be affordable. When this shit blows up, all these governments will be “up shits creek without a paddle” … and it will blow up at some point. LOL!!!!

Hua Bin is at it again with his “gee whiz� chest-thumping gingoism. Huawei’s technology breakthroughs are indeed impressive despite the US sanctions imposed on China’s top telecom company. However, Huawei is not the only Chinese tech company to achieve equally impressive technological success in their respective industries in China. Listing them all would fill up volumes of books. So I might as well digress to discuss the socio-economic effects of technological innovations such as Huawei’s HarmonyOS.

According to one guy HarmonyOS is 8 years behind Apple and 5 years behind Samsung (at 9:20 on the following video). Huawei’s phones have the largest price drop of any phone on the market. LOL!!!!!!!!!

1:30 on the following video. To quote “HarmonyOS is so bad that even dogs won’t buy it”.LOL!!!!

With the difference that the Chinese are into manufacturing while the Jews aren’t.

If Jews were interested in manufacturing, things might have turned out differently.

Good point when comparing the nations of China and Israel.

I was speaking more about the Chinese diaspora: the individual Chinese families that ended up all over Southeast Asia, got into business, and prospered in large part by sticking together.

Your stats are misleading because they include non-native speakers of English who might be able to speak English as their second language but don’t do so on a daily basis. Here’s a list of the official languages of the EU:

https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/languages_en

The EU has 24 official languages:

Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.

English remains an official EU language, despite the United Kingdom having left the EU. It remains an official and working language of the EU institutions as long as it is listed as such in Regulation No 1. English is also one of Ireland’s and Malta’s official languages.

Note that with BREXIT, there are only two countries in the EU — Ireland and Malta — where English is one of their official languages. In the case of the USA, English became its official language only this year when President Trump signed an EO declaring English as the official language of the USA on March 1, 2025. In Canada, English and French are the two official languages are English and French.

In Latin America, the most widely spoken language is Spanish, followed by Portuguese and then French, Quechua and Guaraní.

we would very quickly lose track of all their positions, because of all the rounding and imprecision introduced into the mathematical calculations over time.

Relevant. Half wits love to talk about the Butterfly Effect. None of them seem to understand that a butterfly flapping wings in Africa can only cause a hurricane in Florida in a weather computer model and this never has ever happened on the real planet earth. The guy who coined the term knew it. I am pretty sure James Gleck who popularized the term even knew it.

Correction:

In Canada, English and French are the two official languages are English and French.

In Canada, English and French are the two official languages except in Quebec where French is the only official language.

My point still remains: English is far from being the ‘universal language’ as claimed by a poster, even in Europe and the Americas. In fact, Spanish is the fastest growing language spoken by Latinos in the USA. In Asia, while English is one of the official languages in India and the Philippines, it is not spoken on a daily basis by its citizens.

As they said in informercials; “but wait there’s more.”

Some Youtubers also joked by calling China “West Taiwan”.

Already BYD sales are beating Tesla in Europe.

Only if you count selling to parking lots, parking garages, open fields etc etc etc.

BYD owes banks around $70 billion
BYD pays its bills with IOU’s … when it bothers to pay them.
BYD has 110 days of unsold inventory when a good backlog number is 60 days.

When …. and I do mean When …it blows up, it will be FREAKING EPIC!!!!!

This is the only reason why Chinese cars are banned in USSA.

I think it has more to do with the US government not wanting millions of Chinklander cameras being driven all over the US, while shipping data to Chinkland. LOL!!!!

1’Once TSMC faces serious competition against mainland China, could they be more encline to rejoin the motherland as it is the Taiwan main powerhourse providing Nvidia and AMD and leading the US Pentagon to interfere with such malevolence?”

In actuality – thousands of engineers from TSMC and UMC left Taiwan to work in Mainland China. So much so the pro US government now in power put in a law making it illegal to advertise semiconductor jobs on the Mainland (yet they “let” TSMC build factories in Arizona….)

They are now even beginning to move heavy in the Caribbean (and Central and South America)… Most in North America have never even heard of these cars:

“don’t buy stocks. They buy real estate and gold I’m told.”

Yes that is true. Though the government is trying to get them to buy stocks now too. But the real issue is that the stock markets of the US are grossly overinflated – and so is Japan. Europe and the rest of Asia (not in Japan) tend to have more realistic markets. What do I mean? In Japan – the government itself plows HUGE amounts of money into the stock market to prop it up. It’s not organic demand. In the US conversely – the tax code is written such that for the vast majority of the people to get a tax break on their retirement savings – they have to invest in the stock market. Outside of that – the tax laws are written so that gains from the stock market are taxed less than actual income. So many top execs prefer most of their “pay” to be in stock rather than earned income. Same with top “investors/speculators”. That helps to induce demand. Neither are “natural”. Hence US stocks are ridiculously overvalued. That’s also why when their are busts – they hurt a lot.

HarmonyOS platform

The moment the international version becomes available, I am switching to it.

Many of my friends are also waiting for the international version of the Harmony OS to become available. Some of them are waiting for the Huawei enabled EVs to become available here in my city too.

Western car companies have no idea what is coming for them. Right now they just assume it is Chinese EV tech. They don’t realise it is not just tech, nor a whole tech eco-system involved, but also a lifestyle eco-system. The competition is so tough, that some companies have taken the Car + Lifestyle theme and run with it.

Here in Singapore, BYD set up their own F&B / Restaurant chain. They give lifetime discounts at their restaurants if a customer purchases a car from from them. Their restaurants / cafes / bars are always full.

I want to thank you for keeping America stupid.

Gosh, you have been posting these “abandoned” BYD cars theme for so many years.

Yet BYD keeps growing stronger and keeps pumping them out.

At which point do you ask yourself if the vomit you keep peddling is really true?

Interesting video.

The icing on the cake was listening to a White dude speak with a Bob Marley accent…LOL

I’m just gonna leave this here —

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinas-economy-spirals-no-end-sight-says-kyle-bass

Here is a fact he must overlook: BYD just took delivery of its SIXTH large specialised ship to transport its EVs within China or export them.

Back in the 1980s, Japan’s industrial economy had grown so rapidly that the USA had to impose the Plaza Accords in order to handicap Japanese manufacturing industries. Fast forward to 2025, Japan’s moribund economy has been completely financialized since then. Now, it’s Germany’s turn to have their Nordstream pipelines blown up by the USA in order to handicap German manufacturing industries.

Including native and non-native speakers is relevant because learning a foreign language takes expense and effort that needs to be justified by its usefulness.

It’s the default option in academia, business, international organizations. No special love for it. It’s just because it’s the most likely way, for example, for an Indian and a Chinese to communicate – making learning it a good investment.

In the 1960’s French was the second language taught in Spanish schools but it has now disappeared almost completely being replaced by English. Students were given the option of French or English and they opted for English.

I suppose that Google searches for “learn [language]” give some idea of demand. Chinese ranks lower than Italian.

There’s also a status/ elite effect related to non-natives speaking high grade English.

As suggested by XCD

My post was in reply to a claim made by a poster that English is a ‘universal language’. I have no intention of promoting Chinese as a second language nor am I interested in a pissing contest as to what are the most popular foreign languages. My point in my last post was to rebut the claim made by a poster that English is a ‘universal language’. In fact, your post merely reinforces my rebuttal because there are lots of people learning foreign languages other than English.

Huawei’s partner EV offerings are actually pretty mundane compared to other EV players in China. Huawei’s HarmonyOS and its AI technology are really their only advantages. Unlike Huawei, Xiaomi has entered the EV industry by designing, manufacturing and marketing its own EV brands. In just a few years, Xiaomi has taken the Chinese EV market by storm and is shaking the global auto industry because its SU7 Ultra has broken records at the Nürburgring as the fastest four-door sedan.

https://nuerburgring.de/en/

Xiaomi

Ah, Xiaomi has a special place in my heart!

Modern internal combustion engine vehicles remain more environmentally begnign. Whence cometh the power to run a modern EV? How long is the battery life (answer, at best the same as one of the better designed ‘phones, three to four years)? What is the comparative resource consumption of an electric vs. an internal combustion or hybrid vehicle? Vastly larger for the former.

Thank you again.

Although the tech wars were multiple, war on DRAM production, war on TRON operating system in schools, war on NEC’s reverse-engineered DOS/V, many others.

Your reply of tonight is darkly funny, not for your thoughts, but for those of E.U. leaders like von der Leyden. She declares, as one stupid example among many, that supply of gas through Nordstream pipes must never resume. From reading, she is the natural mother of seven children, so her political insanity of now is difficult to comprehend.

Battery tech is moving fast, and has come a long way of late. My friends have been buying BYDs.

BYD’s warranties are very attractive… 10 year warranties on the battery and 6 years for the rest of the car.
Free servicing for 10 years.
There is also an explicit warranty that the battery will be at 70% capacity at 8 years….if not, the battery will be replaced free of charge.

One friend bought a Sealion 7, it is very nice. The ride is great, and the interior also very good. Tesla is no match for it. Another friend sat in his car, was so impressed that a few days later bought exactly the same model. His son-in-law bought a 7 seater version because he has 3 kids….All 3 guys had been driving BMWs and Mercedes before they bought their BYDs.

BYD seems to be pretty confident about their product. And their cars are selling like hotcakes. They have now overtaken every other make, and is the best selling maker in Singapore now.

LOLOLOL… Yeah – there really are white Jamaicans (not as many as there are Chinese – but they are there). Well Bob Marley himself was half white. His father was a white British military man.

Japanese cars previously dominated the region but that is changing now. Great Wall Motors seems to be the lead in pushing through – with BYD going in behind.

Also of note is that the ships are local made too…. because China builds ships too. It makes the most ships like it makes the most cars… These guys like “Hu” are clown trolls

I want to thank you for keeping America stupid.

If you think the 20-50 readers of my posts is making America stupid then I have a bridge to sell you. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh, you have been posting these “abandoned� BYD cars theme for so many years.

Funny how I started posting less then 1 year ago. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Yet BYD keeps growing stronger and keeps pumping them out.

Increasing debt and continually screwing workers does not strength make!!

At which point do you ask yourself if the vomit you keep peddling is really true?

When I DON’T find stuff like this in the news

https://www.asiafinancial.com/brazil-to-fine-byd-for-each-worker-found-doing-slave-labour

Brazil is planning to fine Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD for each worker that had been found working in “slavery-like� conditions at its upcoming factory in the country.

The carmaker will also face continued scrutiny at the factory site, from which 163 Chinese workers were rescued last month.

https://apnews.com/article/brazil-byd-electric-vehicles-court-labor-trafficking-95974dd85ce95edac339ba316be4c2de

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian prosecutors said Tuesday they are suing Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD and two of its contractors over allegations of using workers in slave-like labor conditions and engaging in international human trafficking.

The labor prosecutors’ office in Bahia state said in a statement that they are seeking 257 million Brazilian reais ($50 million) in damages from BYD, China JinJiang Construction Brazil and Tecmonta Equipamentos Inteligentes.

The lawsuit stems from an investigation that led to the rescue last year of 220 Chinese workers from the construction site of BYD’s new factory in the city of Camaçari. Prosecutors said the workers were brought to Brazil under false pretenses and with visas that did not match their jobs.

That number is higher now!! LOL!!!!

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinas-economy-spirals-no-end-sight-says-kyle-bass

“There is nothing that is going to bail China out of their economic spiral. They’re having a real estate crisis, a banking crisis, a youth unemployment crisis, and now they need to be worried about their current account,� Bass said in an interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders� that aired on June 26.

China is also facing unsustainable debts. When combining China’s sovereign debt and local government financing debt, Bass estimated that the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio should be roughly 350 percent, which he said is difficult to manage considering the various economic challenges.

Another indicator of China’s financial crisis is the performance of China’s bond market, Bass said. As of June 27, the yield on China’s 10-year sovereign bond is approximately 1.64 percent, compared to 4.26 percent for the U.S. 10-year Treasury.

Is Chinkland heading towards NEGATIVE interest rates?? You BETCHA!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Xiaomi is a beast!! Really their car is a Geely since that’s who they hired designers and engineers from when they wanted to build a car – lol. But yeah Xiaomi is now designing it’s own chips. They say they plan to pour money into R&D like Huawei. But yeah there will be little overlap except for phones.
But yeah I’m surprised at how good their first vehicle came out. So did the head of Ford Motor Co – who got one and didn’t want to give it up – and admitting it was better than anything Ford is making.

are you sure that the designers didn’t just adjust a few of the outer panels and just call it a new car??? ROTFLMAO!!!!!

But yeah Xiaomi is now designing it’s own chips.

but who is going to make them??? Taiwan Semiconductor???? LOL!!!

Xiaomi’s EVs are built in a “dark� factory in Beijing, fully-automated with die-casting and metal stamping machines designed in-house and assembled in robotic production lines. Xiaomi’s EVs have nothing to do at all with Geely which partnered with Huawei for the latter’s HarmonyOS platform and AI technology for self-driving cars.

But yeah Xiaomi is now designing it’s own chips. They say they plan to pour money into R&D like Huawei. But yeah there will be little overlap except for phones.

Xiaomi started designing their own chips a few years back. Now they have come up with their own 3nm mobile SoC called Xring 01, to be fabricated by TSMC. They have also designed their own imaging chipset consisting of its AISP 2.0 processor and Light Fusion 900 sensor. Xiaomi’s latest smartphone camera product is their modular optical camera system:

Its shipbuilding capacity is 1 or 2 orders larger than all others combined. It makes most of its industrial tools, including very large ones to build bridges, rail lines, tunnels, dams and oil rigs. Will the Insane Empire learn about every action having a reaction? Did it learn anything from its earlier “sanctions” on Russia?

UB40 from UK had many reggae hits. Not sure if they were white or just pasty.

BYD’s warranties are very attractive… 10 year warranties on the battery and 6 years for the rest of the car.
Free servicing for 10 years.
There is also an explicit warranty that the battery will be at 70% capacity at 8 years….if not, the battery will be replaced free of charge.

You are blowing steam out of your ass. LOL!!!!! There are plenty of stories out there of dealerships not doing free service or replacing batteries for free. In fact there is a auto garage owner who was jailed for 6 months because he did some repair work on an EV. The jail time was for “messing with proprietary technology”. LOL!!!

Tell your lies to those luckless bastards who bought 3 year service agreements from BYD dealerships …. just before those dealerships went “tits up”. LOL!!!

and do those warranties apply to zero mileage used cars or just the original owner … who just happens to be either BYD or a BYD dealership?? LOL!!!!!!!!

Singapore is year-round warm. I have good memory of my five years there as a Singaporean. At times in monsoon season it becomes a little cool, and I recall my little brother and I dashing to wear cardigans on such days.

So, Singapore is quite warm year-round.

The problem of short battery life in cold doesn’t appear. From whence comes the energy to charge these nice rides? I can’t really recall the precise sources of energy generation in Singapura, but mainly gas, petrol, a little coal.

So, charging that nice ride involves a giant loss of energy. A modern and well-tuned internal combustion engine is far more efficient.

Singapore and Japan of now are a little similar in some ways, the P.A.P. even having copied many features from Japan.

Both Singapore and Japan differ from China in that engineers may run companies (better than western models, where only accountants and economic rapists run companies ), but are not in the polity, for both Singapore and Japan, the polity in both cases is a mix of lawyers and professional politicians.

At end-of-life, an internal-combustion car or other vehicle has metal parts that are recoverable.

As for a hybrid or electric vehicle, I have never heard of any comprehensive plan for recovery of the lithium (and other less-present elements) from the batteries.

That it is the case is a bad joke.

Hey troll – at least be consistent.. you should have labelled Taiwan Semiconductor “Chink Islandâ€� semiconductor. Over 90 % of the population are Han China. So you should at least try to use the same racial insults…. Which is all you have in your sad life. I pity you.

Here I sourced a Yankee magazine for you

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62705480/ford-ceo-jim-farley-praises-xiaomi-su7-chinese-electric-car/

Yes, well, I was unfortunate to buy an earlier model when Huawei was on training wheels, no other complaints except that they had file-system control in battery-backed RAM. Actually, after the battery went dead and I finally reentered my flat to recharge it, almost none of the Huawei stuff came back, either, so worse than an actual factory reset. Remnants in flash, many things, leave that for tomorrow. It is Android with Huawei’s EMUA, not Harmony.

As long as I don’t wrte anything to flash memory …

You must have a low-end model back then because my old Huawei Mate Pro 30 with its 7nm Kirin 990 chipset did work very well with HarmonyOS when Huawei switched from Google’s Android after being banned by the USA.

Yeah, OK, sure, that’s all well and good… but what percentage of Huawei is black girl magic, huh? How far can they get using colonized math and science? I bet they don’t even have queer voices in the design process, or under qualified negroes in decision making positions. Not to mention the lack of Jewish middlemen siphoning off resources while contributing nothing to the production. How advanced can Huawei be when they are so clearly backwards thinking!

You over estimate yourself.

You are spouting inconsistent drivel.

In one post you say that I am making America stupider, and in the next you espouse as fact that I don’t even have 20 readers.

The thinking of a so called high IQ Commie Chink Bastard is either incomprehensible … or two faced. I of course lean toward the second. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Xiaomi absolutely hired people from Geely to start their automotive program … or rather in order to make progress. That’s why many note the first model shares similarities with Zeekr (a Geely brand)…. See below

https://www.citynewsservice.cn/shine/6db15c57-b678-4ffb-9560-4ba1973fe873

Indeed. But if the trolls on here are indicative of the thinking – I doubt they will learn. In fact if you read any U.S. media online – you see comments of so much hatred Americans have toward China (see the article I sourced to “Huâ€� a few comments up about Ford’s CEO like Xiaomi’s car and read the comments on the article)

The problem of short battery life in cold doesn’t appear.

Yes that is a problem.

In northern China, which is colder than maritime Japan, there has historically been less of a take up of EV than in the south.

Strangely enough, the Nordic states have high rates of EV adoption. Norway having the highest percentage of EV sales in the world in the region of 90%.

It is an exciting space. Battery tech is moving really fast. See the 1st video below on Lithium advances. This video was made a couple of years ago.

The second video shows the tech already incorporated into production vehicles with Lithium chemistries.

The third video shows the upcoming Sodium chemistries that will have an advantage in cold conditions. These will use existing factory/production tech that will be able to apply the new chemistries seamlessly.

This contrasts with the complicated and time consuming process of developing totally new tech like hydrogen combustion, hydrogen fuel cell, etc that would require replacing the entire industrial supply and production chain.

LOL,

I don’t know if you are more butthurt about

1. having few readers

or

2. being stupid…stupider that you are even aware of.

I will give you another one to feel sad about….being a Pajeet.

I have the ‘Lite’ version of that. Don’t recall Huawei having offered an upgrade to Harmony O.S. Doesn’t matter, will check on that after file recovery.

(At least most of) the files are still in place, Google Playstore at one point sent a message, something like ‘You have 149 lost photo files in flash memory.’, and recommending recovery software that runs under Android. Helpful, but also says something about their monitoring of users.

Since I had the SIM/internal SD card almost full, but nothing on the ‘external’ SD card, suppose I’ll try installing it there after having run Droidkit and testdisk from a PC.

I do things with the filesystem that aren’t strictly approved by Google, like re-creating APK files from music synth. and puzzle game programs that I liked on my old Kyocera but were no longer available or had shitty ‘buy it again’ conditions, then re-installing them on the Huawei.

Also, programs for downloading from U-tub., a kind of Linux shell, etc.

Thanks, I will watch those vids.

Two points: Pacific-coast Japan is not extremely cold until really, Morioka, but is unforcomfortably cold for a good part of the year much to the south of there, at least somewhat further south than Tokyo.

On the continent-facing side, heavy snowfalls go much farther to the south and west.

For a human outside, largely wind chill. It is also cold enough, even on the Pacific side at the latitude of Tokyo, and further south, to have a noticeable effect on lithium-ion battery life.

Also, you shouldn’t dismiss fuel-cell technology. Pure hydrogen fuel-cells are not the only type.

In the end,　I still consider, taking the costs of resource mining, later pollution, generation of electric power for charging (well, it comes from somewhere doesn’t it?), that a well-tuned internal combustion vehicle is more efficient. It involves fewer stages of inefficient conversion.

Chinese no got sense of priority. Choose eggroll over life. No good.

I will give you another one to feel sad about….being a Pajeet.

This is a short video of Lei Jun é›·è»� showing off Xiaomi’s “dark factory” in Beijing:

�一�气�观生产Xiaomi su7的�米汽车工厂-哔哩哔哩】

https://b23.tv/M3Fp5Lz

According to him, Xiaomi designed and built its own custom-made “hypercasting” die-casting and steel-stamping machines. He claims that Xiaomi is the only Chinese EV manufacturer and only the second company after Tesla’s “gigacasting” to have this kind of machine in the world. The Beijing factory is called “dark” because it has unmanned assembly lines operated completely by robots. Even Geely doesn’t have this kind of “dark” factory, complete with custom-made die-casting and steel stamping machines. Whatever Geely engineers Xiaomi hired probably didn’t have as much influence on the design of the SU7 as Sawyer Li (Li Tianyuan æ�Žç”°åŽŸ) who was hired from BMW China. Xiaomi is positioning the SU7 against the Porsche Taycan not against Geely which bought Volvo way back in 2010. Here’s an article with Li being interviewed on the design of Xioami’s SU7:

Xiaomi Design : Interview with Sawyer Li, Design Head of Xiaomi EV and Vice Chairman of the Xiaomi Group Design Committee ｜ Car Styling [カースタイリング]

https://motor-fan.jp/carstyling-jp/article/2607/

Anyway, what shocked everyone not just in the Chinese EV industry but also in the global auto industry is that Xiaomi’s first EV product — SU7 with its ultra model — has beaten the Porsche Taycan at the Nürburgring on its first attempt!

Here is another interesting advance by China:

https://spaceeyenews.com/china-satellite-refueling-geo-36000km-breakthrough/

Can anyone doubt they have killer satellites as well?

Also, you shouldn’t dismiss fuel-cell technology. Pure hydrogen fuel-cells are not the only type.

That is true. I knew I left some things out. I am sure there are other potential energy storage media also.

The problem with all these novel-to-large-scale-industry tech, is that it takes a long time to reach maturity and be used en masse. If hydrogen could use petrol/gasoline infrastructure such as filling pumps, transportation, production etc, that would make the switch so much easier. That was one big advantage that ethanol had.

that a well-tuned internal combustion vehicle is more efficient.

I am not an expert on that. But I think that the major disadvantages of ICE engines are
1. most of the energy expended is in the form of heat, in the region of 60%, making ICE engines 40% efficient when converting fuel energy into motion.
2. a large chunk of energy is simply lost as heat at the brakes when decelerating. We put so much energy into accelerating. It is a shame to waste the same energy when decelerating.

Just for fun, I do a rough calculation on EVs :

The electric motors themselves are about 90% efficient when converting electricity to motion. The main losses in EVs come from the losses involved in charging the batteries, and then again in discharging to produce electricity. This is in the region of 80% while charging and discharging. So the overall energy efficiency is 90x80x80 = 58% efficient for acceleration. Not stellar.

However EVs realistically recover perhaps 25% of the energy during regenerative braking. So that would increase the efficiency to 72% ?

Not sure if my calculation holds any water…LOL

Lei Jun

Lei Jun is one daring guy. And bloody competent to boot.

It is not easy to do combine many novel elements and to make them all work together at the first try.

He deserves every billion he makes, and every future medal/honour accorded to him by China.

Lei Jun is one daring guy. And bloody competent to boot.

Totally competent to install brakes that catch on fire.

Yup! TOTALLY TOTALLY COMPETENT!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rFltIRdqlqs

Lei Jun is quite impressive, even though he started Xiaomi by copying Apple’s design ethos. Now, Xiaomi has come of age, designing its own mobile chipsets, developing its own HyperOS for IoT devices, and building its own IoT ecosystem for home appliances and connected vehicles. With Xiaomi’s SU7 breaking all-time records as the fastest four-door sedan in the world, Lei Jun deserves credit for succeeding in the EV industry where Apple tried but failed to make its mark.

But you’re an idiot. ICE machines require mining, too, they produce pollution ALL their lives and as scrap, and ICE convert energy to motion FAR less efficiently than EVs. Were you always this thick? Or this dishonest?

Yanks are brainwashed to see themselves as God’s Chosen, taking over from the Jews. To see an ‘inferior’ Asiatic people so outdo them, so rapidly and so comprehensively has made the worst type of Yankee blow-hard go RAVING mad with racist hatred, rage and envy. It’s delicious to watch.

That’s why China is winning, and ‘free market’ Sepoystan is disappearing up the West’s anus.

Hey, no Falungong videos today? I am disappointed.

How are you going to keep America stupid?

It is somewhat pointless, your rough calculations appear good as far as the vehicle itself goes, but omit loss in generation, transmission, and charging.

If you want to consider regenerative braking, first Toyota and then Honda worked out great systems for their hybrid vehicles, which are no doubt copied by many electric vehicle makers of now, since at least the earliest patents would not now be subjected to protection.

Not a driver in general, no need most of the time, but preferred internal combustion when having to drive (fun!) and in driving video games.

Initial D and its offshoots, among many others, were fun driving games.

Never having had a fast enough car nor being a good enough driver to participate, but those old and new games set on the elevated expressways in Tokyo and some other roads were copies of past reality, until at least the late ’00s, traffic police generally allowed racing on the elevated expressways late at night (perhaps they didn’t know what was going on).

The system was exactly like in the video games, one fast driver would use the signal lights to ask another if wanting to race, the reply would be via lights, if not, the other driver would lay off and find another wanting a race.

Accidents were few, deadly accidents, almost none. It was a real-world phenomenon.

Ever have fun driving a well-tuned car?

I suppose that you have to in daily life. So a liar.

In any case, I delayed reading your typically moronic reply. An hero from Mumblebrainland.

Hey, no Falungong videos today? I am disappointed.

and here I thought that a supposedly high IQ Chink Commie Bastard could read.

Looks like I was wrong!!!

So Sad! Sniffle! Sniffle! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the end, I still consider, taking the costs of resource mining, later pollution, generation of electric power for charging ( well, it comes from somewhere doesn’t it? ), that a well-tuned internal combustion vehicle is more efficient. It involves fewer stages of inefficient conversion.

China’s energy dependency on oil imports from the Middle East was a strategic vulnerability as the shipping lanes from the Persian Gulf to the South China Sea would be subject to naval blockade by the US Navy in case of military conflict between the USA and China. This strategic vulnerability was underscored by Obama’s Pivot to Asia in 2010 which ironically paved the way for Xi to take over the reigns of power backed by the Chinese Nationalist faction in the PLA in 2022. Xi then made his move by purging the Dengist Liberals-turned-Kleptocrats with his anti-corruption “Tigers and Flies” campaign and by launching his signature BRI program in 2023.

So China then accelerated the electricification of its transport industry by building HSR, LRT and MRT lines as well as promoting EVs. The end-result is that China’s transition to all-electric transportation is now a reality in 2025, ten years ahead of schedule. Aside from reducing China’s import dependency on Middle Eastern oil, its all-electric transport industry has reduced air pollution in Chinese cities as well.

So the argument for China’s transition to its all-electric transport industry is not energy efficiency but energy security. After all, China’s power supply mostly comes from thermal coal which would have been more efficiently converted to mechanical motion by using steam engines. But nobody advocates going back to steam engines today.

It is somewhat pointless, your rough calculations appear good as far as the vehicle itself goes, but omit loss in generation, transmission, and charging.

I had to start somewhere.

Petrol/gasoline will also have energy costs in extraction, refining and transportation. So a direct apple to apple comparison is difficult.

Not a driver in general, no need most of the time, but preferred internal combustion when having to drive (fun!) and in driving video games.

I am not one anymore too. I sold my car just before I retired.

I found that most days I would leave the car at home because using the subway to work/meetings etc was so much easier than fighting traffic into town, and the trouble of finding parking. I was essentially using my car only once a week when I would visit my parents who lived on a hill. That trip was easily replaced with taxi ride instead.

Funny thing is that once I sold my car, I actually felt a sense of relief that I had one less thing to take care of, and wondered why I didn’t do it earlier?

What a CRETIN you are. ‘Well-tuned’ ICE vehicles become ‘un-tuned’ rapidly, and ALWAYS produce lethal pollutants like particulates, CO, benzene etc. EVs DO NOT. and that is leaving out the terminal disaster of greenhouse pollution, the effects of which are increasingly obvious. Remind me, troll-you are an anthropogenic climate destabilisation denialist, aren’t you. I catch buses, knuckle-dragger. This has something to do with your dick, doesn’t it-‘real’ men pollute, and to Hell with the ‘wimps’.

Well, that’s guaranteeing that your White Bosses fall ever further behind. I guarantee that they won’t be using sepoy ‘High Tech’ any century soon.

Fa Lun Gong is 10000% CIA, like that doddering old swine, the ‘Dalai’, an ‘asset’ since the 50s.

Major Asian and European governments are indeed spending money to build out infrastructure for hydrogen because there is a chemical limit to batteries – as well as recycling issues. None want to put all the eggs in one basket.

The nature of the automotive industry is for people to jump around – and to recruit their colleagues. But it’s not my words stating that Xiaomi’s project didn’t take off until they hired the former Geely executive. But of course they had to hire whole slews of people with various amounts of experience throughout the industry.

But yeah the Porsche Panamera is one of my favorites – rather than the Taycan…. But yeah the SU7 is an absolute beast in what it did. I watched the feed from the Nurburgring time.

None want to put all the eggs in one basket.

Agreed. That is the clincher.

China has also spread its eggs. That is why their lithium/sodium batteries have shown the most immediate large scale applicability.

Eventually the limit of lithium and sodium will be reached. But not yet.

When that happens, the other energy storage sources will become more attractive. I want to make a distinction between storage and sources. I consider Thorium an energy source. The sun is another energy source. Oil, batteries, hydrogen are all storage means.

IMHO though, the improvements in energy storage tech will be small fish compared to energy extraction breakthroughs. For example the kind that Nikola Tesla found that was covered up. Such tech would make all the other energy storage tech outdated. Instead of storing energy in oil, batteries, hydrogen etc, we would tap directly into the hitherto unknown (to the general public) energy sources of the universe.

Ha, ha, ho, ho!!! Don’t you read the papers or watch the news, let alone read scientific reports? The cascade to destruction in a wet hot-house mass extinction caused by the greatest forcing of added energy in the Earth system in ALL planetary history, has really begun. With 250 zetta joules (ten to the 21st power)of added energy stored in the oceans, even TOTAL de-carbonisation overnight would be TOO LATE.

Yeah, but those automotive engineers worked their entire careers making GVs (Gas Vehicles), not EVs (Electric Vehicles). That’s why a lot of the top EV makers in China are startups such as Li Auto, NIO, X-Peng and now Xiaomi. Geely doesn’t have a lot of experience nor expertise in AI self-driving technology nor is it particularly strong in electric drive-trains. With the exception of BYD, all EV makers in China buy their batteries from CATL. So other than the body style and the interior design, I doubt if the Geely engineers can add much value to Xiaomi’s production processes which are based on its custom-developed “gigacasting” die-casting and metal-stamping machines. And unlike Geely which uses Huawei’s HarmonyOS and Ascend AI chipsets for its self-driving technology, Xiaomi uses its own HyperOS and would likely develop its own AI chipsets in the future to replace its current NVDIA chipsets.

In short, EVs and GVs are two very different industries. Xiaomi has a late-comer advantage in using the latest and greatest technologies to leapfrog the competition.

When we have inexhaustible clean energy, we can project excess heat out into space?

Radiative cooling comes to mind. The same reason deserts get so cold at night. But I am sure there are other methods.

Anyways if things do turn out for the worst, … the afterlife ain’t such a bad place.

If China want to really be as smart as Europeans and Jewish people and Japanese and Koreans, they need to watch this:
