Chinese Premier Li Qiang met American executives and academics: "U.S.-China relations: They are a married couple who bicker but ultimately need each other"

India and Vietnam among many others will be the winners. #TradeWars

JUST IN: 🇮🇳🇺🇸 India seeks to be a major replacement supplier to the US in areas vacated by China in trade.

Chinese AI is absolutely insane.

I knew it - it's all about the number one adversary - China.

The irony is that for years Marxian economists advocated the use of tariffs for global South countries to protect domestic industries. Now a strategic move by Trump as a broad industrial policy to restructure the US economy but also mainly targeting the primary adversary China.

I get it now. This is about creating a Chernobyl moment for China's economy.

Another China's Great Tech Leap Forward besides @deepseek_ai: it beats @Starlink to hi-res space-ground laser transmission at 6G standard - setting 100Gbps speed record.

This shouldn't be part of the future of LLM or AI. #DeepSeek

Deep seek interesting prompt.. From Reddit

I can't help but do this just to make @deepseek_ai squirm lol

You do know it's impossible China under Xi would allow X in mainland China, right? That's why TikTok should be banned. @elonmusk

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech.

That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced.

Something needs to change.

[Jake Lin @DrJakeLin]

Welcome to Rednote 😂
#tiktokrefugees

[pagliacci the hated 🌝 @Slatzism]

it took 48 hours for the Chinese people on xiaohongchu to get tired of the American TikTokers overrunning their app

[Jake Lin @DrJakeLin]

Rednote is way worse than TikTok. Its name literally means Mao/Xi's Little Redbook.
Why is Rednote even allowed in the US? #tiktokrefugees

[abby @abby4thepeople]

Lmao at thousands of people downloading Rednote (the version of tiktok that is actually owned by China) to spite the U.S. government, finding themselves having lovely interactions with the millions of Chinese citizens on the app & inadvertently undoing decades of U.S. propaganda.

A tiger for Vietnam, a small fly for China, in terms of anti-corruption campaigns.

[Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋 @Yaqiu]

ByteDance has every right to speak up against the divestment bill and challenge it in court. But this moral outrage feels so fake. When has this company — who happily aids CCP censorship and propaganda in China — ever cared about freedom of expression?

[Jake Lin @DrJakeLin]

According to Nikkei, more than 500 'ghost' buildings are left behind in a Cambodian tourist town by Chinese developers amid the property market crisis #BeltandRoad @zonghengjp @NikkeiAsia

在柬埔寨，日本経済新聞记者看到了「一带一路」留下的500多栋烂尾楼
这里本是中国游客喜爱的海岸城，从十年前开始纳入一带一路。随着中国经济与地产接连爆雷，中国老板不见踪影，中国游客亦不光临，只给这个穷国留下了遍地鬼楼，以及梦想破碎的声音——

[William Hurst @wjhurst]

This should be said loudly and repeatedly!

Political science will die if it continues much further down the path of obsessing over methodological minutiae & persnickety nitpicking over causal inference - all centred on analysis of more & trivial questions no one cares about...

[Jake Lin @DrJakeLin]

Is that the "Whole process democracy" in China? 🤓

[Melissa Chan @melissakchan]

Well-meaning Americans who say this US bill on TikTok is anti-Asian racism / xenophobic appear unaware of the Global South's wariness of TikTok. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc. — all have outright bans or limits on TikTok. These are Asian countries!!

[Jake Lin @DrJakeLin]

Not quite the same? The US bans tiktok because it believes it's controlled by the CCP, not just any international influence.

[Chenchen Zhang 🤦🏻‍♀️ @chenchenzh]

China banned Tiktok bc it's the international version the govt doesn't have control over
the US wants to ban Tiktok bc it's an international app the govt doesn't have control over?
