Louis Vuitton is facing huge backlash in China after suing the Chinese bubble tea Molley for $1.5M over alleged logo infringement.
Chinese netizens are angry that this pattern existed in China hundreds of years before LV was born. You can still see it everywhere in China today.
hello @siliconcarnesf la prochaine fois que vous pompez mot pour mot mes threads sur la Chine comme dans votre dernière vidéo sur 22 avril 2026 qui est un pure copié collé de mon thread du 13 mars 2026, ça serait quand même cool de citer vos sources hein
non parce que que ce n’est pas la première fois et vous n’êtes pas non plus le seul média à oser ce genre d’indélicatesse et ça commence sérieusement à m’agacer
je prends du temps pour faire des retex sur la Chine de manière exclusive depuis des années sans jamais rien demander en retour mais un petit clin d’œil ce n’est pas la mer à boire ;)
American and European enterprises will ditch OpenAI and anthropic and adopt Chinese models. Here’s why:
1. They can host Chinese models under their own GPUs so it’s still compliant and they would argue they have more control.
2. they will post train with their own data on top of Chinese models. That’s how they build data moat.
3. They will not trust anthropic who will retain their data at any time for “safety” concerns like how they did with Fable and then try to build the same thing like how anthropic did with healthcare and legal.
4. They need to justify their AI spend and ROI.
The cure is a reliable America open source model but there is none. After all, if giving away all your data and AI control at the mercy of anthropic and OpenAI means you care about safety and compliance, you are outright stupid.
🇺🇸Latest from CNBC claims “China poaches AI talent from the U.S.”
Look at the actual names and backgrounds they cite, though. Every high-profile case involves a Chinese national who did an undergraduate degree at Tsinghua or somewhere equivalent, earned a PhD in the United States, worked at OpenAI, Google DeepMind or Meta AI and has now returned or moved to a major Chinese company.
That’s not poaching. That’s diaspora talent coming home as the incentives change.
CNBC’s piece leads with Yao Shunyu, the former OpenAI researcher now Chief AI Scientist at Tencent. He’s talking openly about building long-term AGI capability inside China, foundational models, agents, what he calls the next “super-app” opportunity worth trillions and he’s just 27. Tsinghua Yao Class undergraduate, Princeton PhD, a stint at Google, then OpenAI in San Francisco.
China’s domestic system drives much of this. The gaokao produces millions of high scorers from a vast population trained hard in STEM. The strongest candidates from places like Tsinghua often go abroad for additional frontier exposure or prestige because the competition at home is so fierce. U.S. universities have logical reasons to take them.
These students typically pay full tuition without government loans or heavy aid packages, making Chinese cohorts among the highest net revenue contributors on campus. They also arrive academically prepared, strong in quantitative fields and research fundamentals. They help to sustain PhD pipelines in computer science, engineering and AI at a time when fewer domestic Americans pursue long research tracks when industry salaries are high right after undergrad.
The same pattern runs through every other name they mention.
Yang Zhilin, born in Shantou, Tsinghua undergraduate, CMU PhD, time at Google Brain and Meta AI, now running Moonshot AI and the Kimi model in Beijing. Wu Yonghui, long-time Google researcher who rose to Google Fellow and VP of Research at DeepMind in California, now heading foundational research at ByteDance’s Seed team. Hao Zhou, Chinese national with top domestic scholarships, Wisconsin-Madison PhD, key contributor to Gemini at Google DeepMind in the Bay Area and recently joined Alibaba’s Qwen team on post-training.
The article itself notes that uncertainty over U.S. immigration policy is pushing Chinese nationals to return, even when the pay is lower. It also mentions China ramping up basic research spending. Both points are correct, but the framing wrapped around them is not.
For years the U.S. AI ecosystem drew heavily on exactly this cohort: top Chinese students and researchers trained at its best universities and labs. That flow was celebrated as proof of American openness and attractiveness. Now that some of it is reversing as China’s own ecosystem scales, the same movement gets labelled “poaching.”
The approach has always been straightforward: send talent abroad to absorb what’s at the frontier, build domestic capacity at the same time, then create conditions for knowledge and people to come back when the domestic game becomes more interesting.
China’s top universities, Tsinghua and Peking especially, have climbed global rankings rapidly in recent years, particularly in STEM and engineering. They now compete at the highest levels. That improvement lines up with declining Chinese enrolments in the U.S., alongside visa friction and costs. Chip export controls, visa scrutiny and the sheer scale of China’s application opportunities across manufacturing, consumer internet, infrastructure and data are all accelerating the return right now.
What these researchers bring back matters. Yao is importing the aggressive AGI timeline thinking that dominates parts of the U.S. conversation. At the same time he’s operating inside a system that prizes reliable performance at scale, lower inference costs and rapid deployment across real-world use cases. That combination of frontier ambition and China’s engineering and deployment advantages is exactly what the article is quietly documenting, even while it reaches for the “poaching” headline.
Talent moves to where the interesting problems, resources and long-term runway are. Right now China has all three in AI, plus the political will to treat it as a national priority for the next five-year cycle and beyond. The U.S. still has enormous strengths, but it is also generating new friction for the very people who helped build its lead.
The real story isn’t theft of American genius. It’s the predictable outcome of two large systems competing for the same mobile, highly trained human capital, while one of them, the one doing the alleged “poaching,” is also the one that educated and sent out a large share of that talent in the first place.
When will the coverage stop using loaded language and simply report that Chinese researchers, trained in America, are returning home to innovate, bringing their pioneering spirit with them?

#صورة من عام 1941
جنود يابانيون يقومون بتجربة بيولوجية على طفل صيني أسير عبر رشه بالفيروسات.
الجميع يعرف #هتلر،
لكن القليل يتذكر هيديكي توجو، رئيس وزراء اليابان خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية.
خلال فترة حكمه، ارتكبت اليابان الإمبراطورية مجازر بشعة في جميع أنحاء آسيا، وتُقدّر بعض الدراسات أن عدد الضحايا وصل إلى حوالي 20 مليون إنسان، أغلبهم من الصينيين.
في نانكينغ وحدها عام 1937، قُتل خلال أسابيع حوالي 200 ألف مدني وأسير حرب، وتعرضت عشرات الآلاف من النساء للاغتصاب.
طُعن الناس بالحراب، وأُحرقوا أحياء، ودُفنوا أحياء، بينما أفادت التقارير أن بعض الضباط اليابانيين كانوا يُقيمون مسابقات قتل بالسيوف لمعرفة من يقتل 100 شخص أولًا.
أما الوحدة 731، فكانت واحدة من أبشع منشآت التجارب البشرية في التاريخ.
هذه الوحدة اليابانية خالفت كل الأعراف وتجردت من الإنسانية، وارتكبت جرائم وحشية في دولة باتت تُعرف اليوم بالحضارة والتقدم والمدنية.
قام أفرادها بتشريح أسرى وهم أحياء دون تخدير، وتجميد أطراف أطفال ونساء لمعرفة تأثير الصقيع، وحقن البشر بالكوليرا والطاعون والتيفوئيد، وتجربة القنابل الجرثومية على القرى والمدنيين.
وتقدّر بعض الدراسات أن تجارب الوحدة والهجمات البيولوجية المرتبطة بها تسببت بمقتل مئات الآلاف في #الصين وحدها.
كما أُجبرت عشرات الآلاف من النساء من الصين وكوريا ودول آسيوية أخرى على العمل فيما عُرف باسم “نساء المتعة”، وهو نظام استعباد جنسي للجنود اليابانيين.
بعد الحرب
أُطلق سراح العديد من المسؤولين لأن الولايات المتحدة رأت في اليابان حليفًا مفيدًا ضد السوفييت مع بداية الحرب الباردة.
بل إن واشنطن منحت حصانة لعدد من علماء الوحدة 731 مقابل الحصول على نتائج أبحاثهم وتجاربهم البيولوجية.
وأُعيد تأهيل بعضهم لاحقًا في مجالات السياسة والأعمال والأوساط الأكاديمية والطب.
في غضون ذلك، أصبحت ألمانيا رمزًا عالميًا للشر، بينما أصبحت اليابان “ضحايا القصف النووي ”، ثم تحولت لاحقًا إلى موطن للأنمي والسوشي ونينتندو وهيلو كيتي.
هذا ما حدث فعلاً ..
