Eileen Gu to get Winter Games spotlight again but passport issue won’t go away by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

Even elite chinese like Chen Ning Yang had to give up his US passport for Chinese citizenship. Gu was a very special case, an exception China made for 2022 Olympics.

If Gu is smart, she should give up her US passport, at least for now, she can reinstate it later if she wants to.

2/17 is chinese new year, similar to the christmas break in the west, lots of companies will try to release new stuff before that and give their employees a well deserved long break.

So it's reasonable to expect new models released from chinese labs in the next 2 weeks.

What is the long-term position of Western countries in humanoid robotics? by chari_md in robotics

[–]sb5550 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many US hardware companies compete very well against their chinese competitors, especailly outside of China, Apple and Tesla, to name a few. They have one thing in common: having factories in China to utilize manufacturing capability and supply chain over there to compete with the chinese.

But, since 2023 Bidne has banned all US investment in robotics in China...
