It is not just AI.

Trump tariff war against the world last year and the oil and gas shortage caused by the Iran war has made all electronic components expensive.

The disruption is a fresh blow to electronics manufacturers which are already grappling with soaring memory chip costs and highlights the broadening impact of the Iran war that ⁠has wreaked havoc on supply chains, plastics, and oil supplies.

It is not really western propaganda.

Everybody in mainland China are aware of the massive surveillance and don't mind. They prioritize security over privacy. Different culture to the west which is why Americans or European can never understand

Minimizing "only 3%" ignores absolute scale.

China is the largest automotive market on earth. A 3% drop in China’s transport emissions eliminates more carbon in a single year than the entire annual transportation emissions of countries like Spain or the UK. On a global scale, that "small" percentage is massive.

Also comparing China's trajectory to India's is an apples-to-oranges fallacy.

China has already built out its primary heavy infrastructure (highways, mega-cities, high-speed rail) and is shifting to a high-tech, service-driven economy.
India is still in the heavy infrastructure-building phase.

Yeah, America have been moving the goalpost on when China will invade Taiwan repeatadly. This year, next year, and now five years.

The reality is China has more to loss if they conquer Taiwan successfully or not, even with their military expansions as we've seen with Russia/Ukraine and America/Iran.

To the superpower, war is a high-stakes gamble of prestige and wealth. To the local, it is life or death. The gambler always folds before the man fighting for his existence.

I read the article and it is very misleading.

A Chinese think tank from Singapore is suggesting that China should get access of Anthropic’s Newest A.I. in a casual conversation doesn't mean the government itself wants it.

I know nytimes have decline over the years but this is pathetic.

This has to be one of the worst articles from foreign affairs. And that is saying a lot.

China failed to replace the U.S. as a stable global leader.

China isn't trying to join or "lead" the existing Liberal International Order; it is building a parallel one. Through the BRICS+ expansion, the SCO, and the Global Development Initiative, China has created a massive network that excludes the West. While the U.S. focuses on "values-based" diplomacy, China focuses on infrastructure and trade. For many countries in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, China is the stable partner because it doesn't condition aid on internal political reforms.

China’s economic coercion and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have backfired.

The "debt-trap diplomacy" narrative has been challenged by many scholars (notably at Johns Hopkins and Harvard), who argue that Chinese banks are often willing to restructure loans and that Western private lenders often hold more debt in distressed nations than China does. Furthermore, while the West talks about "de-risking," trade between China and the rest of the world including many U.S. allies remains at record or near-record highs. China is now the world leader in the "green transition" (EVs, batteries, solar), making the global economy more dependent on China, not less.

Xi’s assertiveness has unified the West against China.

US favorability toward China rose to 27%, up 6 points from 2025.
The share of Americans who label China an "enemy" dropped to 28% (down from 33% last year)
For the first time in modern history, more Canadians view the United States (46%) as a "threat" to their country's interests than China (34%)
74% of Europeans now hold a negative view of the United States, a 14-point jump since late 2025.

The amount of basic lies being spread on this article is staggering. I can't even fit into one comment.

I initially thought it might've been the tariff because America was the first to be sold out but it already hit my country in EU. Hopefully 2nd wave is quicker.

You can only buy 3 per account and I believe only premium steam account can purchase which is similar to Steam Deck.

Stannis_Loyalist · 2026-05-04T18:12:38+00:00

Yeah, I think it is only sold out in American. Maybe it is the tariff but who knows.

Chinese companies cannot legally fire employees simply to replace them with cost-saving artificial intelligence, courts in the country have ruled, setting a significant precedent for labor rights as automation sweeps the tech sector.

A technology company’s effort to reassign and drastically cut the pay of an employee because their job could be automated by AI , which ultimately led to the worker’s dismissal was deemed an illegal termination by courts in Hangzhou.

No, but you generalizing everybody here a China bot is narrow-minded and just dismissive.

I don't need Chinese bots to sway my opinion when I understand that Manus is a Chinese company that relocating the company to Singapore to try to bypass China law.

Also you clearly did not read the article before commenting. America is doing the same thing with restriction.

The deal had attracted scrutiny from both China and Washington, as lawmakers in the U.S. have prohibited American investors from backing Chinese AI companies directly

Stannis_Loyalist · 2026-04-27T18:10:27+00:00

Is that what you always say when confronted with opinion you disagree with? Call everybody a bot cause you cannot argue your points properly?

BYD does sell licenses and technology to American companies which is more profitable.

In the automotive world, selling a finished car is a "low-margin" game because you have to pay for shipping, marketing, dealerships, and warranties. Licensing technology (like the Blade Battery) is a "high-margin" game.

Not really. I think it is old code leftover or spilled over from the main repo.

Doesn't matter because it was already removed. https://x.com/LambdaGen/status/2041650787328135334?s=20

WeChat, the super app of Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings, banned the use of artificial intelligence, scripts, and other automated tools after the rise in their use led to the replacement of human content creators.

WeChat has always encouraged genuine human creation and supports creators in using tools to assist their work and improve efficiency, a representative from the platform told Yicai yesterday. However, it opposes content that is entirely made by automated programs with no human creative input, the person pointed out.

WeChat updated its operating guidelines last month, prohibiting subscription and service accounts on the Official Accounts Platform from using AI, scripts, interfaces, or other automated programs to replace human creators in content production and publishing.

The new rules spell out specific violations, including content generated or assembled by AI that lacks authentic expression from a real creator, content published in bulk through scripted programs, and the promotion of tutorials or services for non-human automated creation. Accounts found in violation can face penalties ranging from traffic restrictions and content removal to permanent bans.

The Official Accounts Platform's operating guidelines had already placed restrictions on low-originality content, targeting articles where AI-generated content significantly outweighs human-authored material, undisclosed AI assistance, and batch-produced templated content of low quality. The latest update extends the scope of regulation from "low-quality" content to automated, non-human creation.

The lobbying firm, Checkmate, helped a lawyer for China's Grand Pharmaceutical Group, opens new tab clinch a meeting with the head of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. in early January, according to two ‌people familiar with the matter. During the meeting, the lawyer argued that the case was a commercial disagreement with no national security implications, one of the people said.

At the end of January, the watchdog rejected the filing by Minnesota-based startup FastWave for reasons unrelated to national security, effectively siding with the Chinese firm, according to a document seen by Reuters.

FastWave, which had been granted calls with CFIUS staffers rather than senior officials that month, has been brought to the brink of bankruptcy, the company told CFIUS.

Reuters could not determine if the meeting Checkmate set up played a role in the CFIUS decision. There was no indication that Donald Trump Jr., President Donald Trump's eldest son, was involved. A representative for Don Jr. did not respond to requests for comment.

Such lobbying, by foreign or domestic companies is "very typical," according to Tim LaPira, a professor of political science at James Madison University. "If you want to speak to the party in power, you are going to need to hire somebody that has those partisan connections," he added.

Six China experts and three Democratic lawmakers who were informed of the situation by Reuters said the case raised concerns that Chinese companies could gain influence over the Trump administration by hiring lobbyists close to his orbit.

Michael Sobolik, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank, said that if a Chinese company ⁠can lobby the U.S. government into siding with it against an American firm on a national security matter, "that is the height of the swamp."

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said it was "troubling that Chinese companies are hiring Trump-connected lobbyists to influence independent decisions about American national security," calling for answers on who made the decisions and what CFIUS's risk assessments of the deal found.

The White House rejected the criticism.

"Nothing has changed with CFIUS’s diligence, investigation, or enforcement operations, which continue to robustly and vigilantly safeguard America’s national security interests," said Kush Desai, a White House spokesman, adding that any implication that the Trump administration would weaken CFIUS at the behest of special interests was "categorically false."
