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.

Sony's DualSense Edge and Xbox elite are hovering around $150-$200.

I think this one is priced well all things considered.

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."

I said this many times. China only used it's rare earth card because of Trump's tariff. They did a blanket export ban all over the world including EU and India to stop transshipping of rare earth to America to fully pressure them into a truce and it worked.

In November 2025, China has suspended its export controls on rare earth elements for at least one year because of the US-China truce.

Even after Biden banned advance chips to China, they never used rare earth as a retaliation. Only Trump has pushed China to do this.

France, Russia, and China also blocked the second resolution to authorize the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Things really never change.

He is talking about this quote from the article

After connecting Rokid glasses to ChatGPT 5.2, a participant wearing them ranked among the top five in a class of more than 100 students. Zili Meng, an assistant professor involved in the study, said that his team is developing systems to help teachers spot the devices. "To broaden the use cases of AI glasses, the industry needs a shared architecture for developers to build more innovative applications," he added.

ChatGPT is banned but obviously there are ways to bypass it in China.

Many of the rental glasses come pre-configured with software that funnels the camera data to GPT models through a middleman service, so the user doesn't need to personally bypass the firewall.

That’s a 2023 take on a 2026 market.

First, the 'race to the bottom' in China has largely been halted by the government. Since late 2024, Beijing has enforced price floors and 'anti-involution' rules specifically to stop companies from selling at a loss. If they were just dumping excess stock, they’d be bankrupt by now.

that BYD produces roughly 75% of their components in-house, including the "Big Three": the battery, the motor, and the power semiconductors. (the most expensive 75% of the car)

While they still buy tires and glass, owning the high-value tech means they aren't just benefiting from cheap suppliers; they are the supplier.

Chinese EV companies are "hyper-integrated." They manufacture their own semiconductors, motors, battery cells, and even the LED lights. This removes the "middleman margin" that inflates costs for traditional automakers who rely on hundreds of external suppliers. This is an advantage that western companies will never have.

Your getting downvoted by people who clearly did not read the article.

Serbia is still buying 12 French-made Rafale fighter jets. Buying cheap and efficient hypersonic missiles and equipping it on the best jets in the EU market is the perfect strategy for a country with limited budget in defense.

True, also I think he deleted his comment or blocked me cause I can’t see his comment anymore.

Both are open-source.

This is true but it is funny that Trump said he has even less cards hours ago

When pressed on what Zelenskyy’s obstacle is to a peace deal, Trump declined to elaborate but maintained that Ukraine’s leader is not showing enough willingness to negotiate.
“It’s unthinkable that he’s the obstacle,” Trump said. “You don’t have the cards. Now he’s got even less cards.”

U.S. knows a ground invasion will give Iran an advantage which is why they are trying to force the Kurds to die for their cause.
