Thousands of words, one confession:

The American dream collapsed, and I want to go home.

A generation of China’s brightest students left believing they were joining history’s winning side.

They became professors, engineers and corporate middle managers in America—respectable, comfortable, and permanently outside the room where real power was exercised.

Meanwhile, the classmates they once dismissed as the B-team built China’s industries, laboratories, infrastructure and technological rise.

The deepest wound is not that America declined.

It is that China succeeded without them.

They spent decades convincing themselves that leaving was advancement.

Now FBI suspicion, racial ceilings, political insanity and a collapsing national myth have made that lie harder to maintain.

So beneath all the analysis of Trump, Taiwan, McCarthyism and overseas Chinese identity is one private confession:

I thought I had escaped China’s past.
I did not realize I was abandoning its future.

The American dream did not merely break.

China outgrew it.

[Cline @cline]

We've been asked why Cline works better with open weights models like DeepSeek than other harnesses and want to share some detail (more in our blog below).

Our internal evals show that many open weights models like DeepSeek, GLM, and Kimi are RL trained to spend more tokens verifying their work: run tests, check the build, re-read diffs before completing. We believe this is how they were able to close the gap with closed model performance.

Meanwhile closed models and their harnesses tend to optimize for efficiency and fewer tokens (which makes sense when massively subsidizing subscription plans).

So we've been intentional in building the Cline harness to let the model work however it was trained to work. At open weights pricing, the baked-in paranoia burning extra tokens verifying work gets significantly better results for less money.

In our benchmark runs, we've seen ~20% gains over competing harnesses just from changes that let the model lean into its RL training.

OpenCode’s platform says DeepSeek V4 Flash consumed 8 trillion tokens in a single day.

Meanwhile, on OpenRouter’s weekly token-usage chart, the top five models were all Chinese:

DeepSeek V4 Flash.
Xiaomi MiMo V2.5.
Tencent Hy3.
DeepSeek V4 Pro.
Zhipu GLM-5.2.

OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Luna’s price by 80%.

Its weekly usage then surged 465%—and it still only reached eighth place.

This is no longer China chasing American AI.

Chinese models are setting the price-performance standard, while American companies are cutting prices just to remain visible on the chart.

Wall Street valued OpenAI and Anthropic as though frontier intelligence would remain scarce, closed and expensive.

China is turning it into abundant infrastructure.

When the top of the usage chart is Chinese, and an American model needs an 80% price cut merely to reach eighth place, the real bubble is no longer “Chinese AI hype.”

It is the assumption that American AI margins can survive Chinese pricing.

America built its AI valuations on scarcity.

China is pricing scarcity out of existence.

战争打的就是体系 - 美军这些年满世界吹的那些高大上作战概念，什么联合全域指挥控制、分布式杀伤、马赛克战，解放军这次在南海全给演了一遍，而且不是纸上谈兵，是真刀真枪地跑通了。

说白了，美军在会议室里画了十年的饼、写了几万页的概念文件、花了几百亿搞的试验项目，解放军这次在南海用一场联合演训全给落地了。不是去抄美军的作业，而是仗打到了这个份上，体系作战的底层逻辑本就相通。美军吹的概念，解放军一个不拉全有了，而且不是PPT上有，是实战化演练里有。

"Humbling"? Interesting word choice.

Beidaihe isn't a "secret vacation" — it's been a working government retreat for decades. This year, top AI, quantum, and aerospace scientists were invited there to be honoured by the party's leadership.

Compare that to private islands used for exploitation. I know which one looks more "humbling."

If the US bought the YEN to stop it from collapsing, isn't that currency manipulation?

US is doing this to prevent Japan from sell USD causing US interest rates to spike

US calls China a currency manipulator but all countries do the same

[中国及加拿大 @ChinasCanada]

"Why would the US do that ?" asks @icbramley

China doesn't NEED access to Panama anymore thanks to the newly constructed deep-water dual-use MEGA PORT constructed and controlled 100 % by China's state-owned logistics giant, COSCO Shipping. 😏

Which takes us to why "The US started the trouble in the first place."

The new Chinese-controlled mega-port in Chancay, Peru directly helped China circumvent the logistical bottlenecks and geopolitical vulnerabilities exposed in Panama by establishing a direct, Pacific-only trade corridor that completely bypasses the Panama Canal.

By funneling South American commodities directly from Peru's coast to Asia, China insulated its supply chains from both Panama’s regulatory bottlenecks and Western maritime choke points completely pissing off @POTUS '47 @SecWar and @USTradeRep and sending the entire @ChinaSelect in a complete panic tail spin.

Structural Avoidance of Panama Canal Bottlenecks

• Eliminating Canal Choke Points:
Before Chancay's completion, South American exports destined for China—such as Brazilian soy and iron ore—frequently had to traverse the congested, drought-prone, and Western-influenced Panama Canal.

The new port acts as a regional hub, collecting these goods on the Pacific coast to avoid the canal entirely.

• Drastic Transit Time Reductions: Chancay creates a direct maritime expressway across the Pacific, shaving 10 to 20 days off traditional shipping times between South America and Shanghai. This speed optimization offsets any operational delays caused by the ongoing maritime dispute and port state control standoffs in Central America.

• Accommodating Ultra-Large Vessels: The port boasts a deep-water draft of 17.8 meters, allowing it to host ultra-large container ships carrying up to 18,000 TEUs. Many of these massive vessels are physically too large to fit through the Panama Canal's locks (New Panamax limits), giving China a high-capacity route independent of canal dimensions.

Geopolitical & Operational Insulation

• Total Chinese Operational Sovereignty: While China faced forced eviction from its port concessions in Panama, the Port of Chancay is operated under the majority ownership and exclusive control of China's state-owned logistics giant, COSCO Shipping. “The Port of Chancay is operated under the exclusive control of China's state-owned logistics giant COSCO.”, as noted by The Diplomat.

Despite intense diplomatic pushback from the United States, China successfully lobbied for legal structures in Peru to protect COSCO's exclusive operating privileges.

• The Bioceanic Corridor Integration: China is actively developing the Bi-Oceanic Corridor, a proposed 3,000-mile freight railway network running from Brazil’s Atlantic coast directly to Chancay.

This land-bridge absorbs massive volumes of Atlantic-side agricultural and mineral wealth, consolidating South American trade into a singular, Chinese-managed Pacific exit point.

• Dual-Use Resiliency
(this is the sinker folk's):
Security analysts note that Chancay's deep-water berths provide China with a resilient, dual-use infrastructure footprint in the Eastern Pacific.

If diplomatic or military friction ever closes the Panama Canal to Chinese vessels, Chancay serves as a critical, secure node to maintain access to the Americas and the @DeptofWar @DeptofDefense_ @thejointstaff @SecWar and @PFPAOffical can't be having that. 🫤

Panama is/was the distraction because 99% of American civilians have ZERO IDEA about China's stronghold in Peru nor are they aware of the Port of Chancay and the direct threat it poses to the North American homeland.

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

CHINA AND PANAMA have made friends again. But the deal was made behind closed doors, so no one knows the details.

Story so far: After pressure from Donald Trump, Panama ousted a Hong Kong conglomerate from its job as the main terminal operators at the Panama Canal, shocking the global shipping industry. Hong Kong-owned Panama Ports Company is seeking US$2 billion in compensation.

China became more stringent in safety checks and raised the number of Panama-flagged vessels detained at its ports. Almost 500 were detained this year.

Worried shippers changed alliance, with 264 cargo ships removing their Panama flags in June alone, Lloyd’s List reported. This was a huge blow to the small country.

But the Panama leadership visited Beijing on July 16-17 and struck a deal.

Things appear to have returned to normal. In the first three weeks of July, China detained just 17 Panama ships, Lloyd’s List reported. This figure is close to the rate in the past, when an average of 21 ships were halted after failing inspections.

Panama is breathing a sigh of relief.

China is keeping quiet about what it gets out of the deal.

And Washington, which created the problem? It’s left in the dark.

@ChinaSelect Please stop lying. Panama violated legal agreements with Chinese firms under the threat of the US. China reacted. The voters deserve the whole truth.

[DaiWW @BeijingDai]

Let's be honest — China has put serious muscle behind sanctioning Panama, and the most lethal move has been extending inspection procedures for ships flying the Panamanian flag. This has led a growing number of vessels to de-register from Panama, dealing a heavy blow to the country's revenue.

These tough measures aren't just aimed at Panama — they're clearly meant to serve as a warning to others. Obviously, Peru and the rest of South America are watching through a magnifying glass to see how China handles Panama over its seizure of the Chinese-operated port. If China doesn't show resolute resolve — if it shows any sign of weakness — Chancay Port will be next.

I've called out this idiot before. This guy always puts his own moral superiority above everything else—certainly above China's national interests. I can feel he hates China not much less than Israel. I truly believe that what he secretly hopes for most is for China to act recklessly against Israel and damage even destroy itself alongside Israel to meet his feelings.

Let me say it again: we Chinese certainly don't like Israel, and we find what they're doing in Gaza utterly unacceptable. But Israel hasn't violated China's national interests. How China handles its relationship with the Jewish people is our own business—we will balance our moral convictions with our concrete interests. As for self-righteous idiots like him who lecture other countries and expect Chinese to pay the price just to feed his own sense of moral superiority, I suggest he go eat a pile of shit—three pounds of it, preferably. Shit for Shit people!

[The Mind Scourge @TheMindScourge]

Great thread, I’ll add some thoughts:

1. Pricing in the US is completely absurd. The link between pricing and value is entirely broken. Extremely mid hotels are hundreds of dollars a night; the average price for a new car is $50,000; really nothing feels like a deal. When you go out to eat, just assume you’ll spend $100 minimum. One of my personal benchmarks, Fage 5% Greek yogurt used to be $4.50 per tub back in 2019. Now I spend $7.80

2. Major cities are worse than they were a decade ago. Things have improved relatively since the nadir, but only relatively. There is still real, noticeable, quality of life decline in most urban downtowns.

3. Ubiquitous pot. You smell it everywhere now. 20 years ago, you’d usually encounter somebody smoking. Today, the cigarettes are largely gone, replaced by marijuana. This is not an improvement

4. Asian culture is much more prominent, from music to cinema and television, books, food, and the list goes on.

5. Airports have generally improved. This might not be saying much, but it’s true, with certain exceptions

6. Politics is much, much, worse.

7. Food is much better. The millennial food revolution is taken for granted, but I grew up before it in the 1990s and I remember the old world. Eating isn’t everything but the embarrassment of riches we now have is still underrated. You can get high quality food and drink almost anywhere now. That’s a major quality of life enhancement, even considering the prices.

8. There’s a broadly shared sense that America’s best days are behind it. A sort of background pessimism - on both the left and right - that shapes everything. Even in the optimistic corners of our society - Silicon Valley, say - the ambition primarily appears to be to escape the US - and the nation state itself, and even humanity - rather than to improve the country itself. Political ambitions are backward rather than forward looking.

9. Suburban amenities are significantly improved. If America’s major cities have mostly changed for the worse, America’s suburbs have changed for the better. Essentially all suburbs now have these “mixed development” zones where if you blur your eyes slightly you can (sort of) imagine you’re living out a fantasy of life in Greenwich Village or Manhattan. They’re walkable (though you have to drive to get to them), there’s clean play areas and green space for kids, a good variety of shops and breweries and beyond third wave coffee places and the like, and - because these are invariably private and because they aren’t connected by public buses - there aren’t any of the urban quality of life issues to deal with. The public has clearly woken up to this; all these places are absolutely heaving with people, even during the week.

10. The proliferation of conspiracies and apocalyptic thinking

11. The normalization of scams and “get yours by any means necessary so you can escape the permanent underclass” type thinking.

12. A much degraded intellectual environment. Politics is one facet of it, but there are many others. For example, the recent Nolan interview in China that’s gone viral on here this week. Odyssey discourse has been heavy for over a year in the US, but the relative quality of this interview is so much higher than anything we’ve seen so far. As a comparison, think about that execrable Wilson piece in the London Review of Books - ostensibly a highbrow prestige publication. The difference is honestly embarrassing, and synecdoche of what I see generally: for example, in academia.
