Located on Nanjing Road in #Shanghai, a theme store for ongoing Americas exhibition "On the Top of the World Tree" has gone viral thanks to the exhibition's popularity.
It features a wide range of exclusively licensed cultural and creative products from the exhibition, along with immersive VR experiences, limited-edition co-branded merchandise and specialty food souvenirs, drawing more and more locals and tourists to stop by and shop. Sha Tianbing, deputy general manager of Shanghai Sanlian Group, said that the number of visitors has increased tenfold. #OnTopoftheWorldTree #FunChina #ChinaBound
🇨🇳🔥Una empresa china construyó un puente para una pequeña localidad en la selva tropical de Camerún.
Antes de que existiera el puente, los habitantes perdían la vida cada temporada de lluvias al intentar cruzar el río.#China

I can’t not imagine free roads out of cars in my trips in Chinese countryside…more dangerous and crowded than expected
In Turpan of NW China's #Xinjiang, it's 80°C at the desert surface. Robots take on the toughest jobs: installing 60 solar panels per hour, with millimeter precision. Efficiency is up 30%+. #TechForGood

🚨 BREAKING: China just built its own SpaceX moment.
First attempt. Maiden flight. No landing legs, no propulsive touchdown like Falcon 9. The Long March-10B booster made a controlled descent onto a sea barge and a net hooked it mid-air, aircraft carrier style. The target cost: $150 per kilogram to orbit. Falcon 9 charges roughly $3,000.
A rocket booster is just the visible part. The same acceleration is happening underneath, in the inputs that make hardware like this possible faster than it used to be.
The OECD reported in March that China's total R&D spending hit $1.03 trillion in 2024, overtaking the US for the first time. That's the fuel. The output side moved just as fast: Chinese universities graduate 50,000 new STEM PhDs a year, feeding an engineering base most Western economies don't have. In AI specifically, China's domestic chip share crossed 41% in 2025, a first, with Huawei's Ascend line on pace to take half the market by year end. DeepSeek trained a GPT-4 class model for about $5.5 million in compute, versus OpenAI's reported $100 million for GPT-4 alone.
Different sectors. Same pattern: the time between "we can't do this yet" and "we shipped it" keeps shrinking, and AI is the reason. Faster iteration on chips means faster iteration on models, which means faster iteration on everything those models get pointed at, including rocket recovery systems. China's commercial space sector had a dozen companies attempting reusable rockets three years ago. Most failed. Today one of them caught a booster on the first try.
Every moat in the S&P 500 was priced on an assumption about how long it takes a competitor to catch up. AI is compressing that timeline across EVs, batteries, robotics, AI inference, and clean energy at once. Not eventually. Now.
The investors who get hurt in the next decade won't be the ones who picked the wrong stocks. They'll be the ones who built their models on timelines that no longer exist.

China’s high-speed rail network, the world’s largest, keeps expanding to places we used to think were impossible.
China’s 350 km/h trains can even reach deep valleys in the mountains.
