Let's debunk the recently famous, but dumb research about night lights and economic activity.
If this is the level of research coming out of the US, my how the mighty have fallen.
Should have hired some Chinese international students to run the study. 1/n

Your point of view is outdated.

Victor Gao is not China’s PR liability , he’s one of the few people who actually closes the dangerous communication gap that has repeatedly led Western countries to misjudge China.

For decades, China’s traditional preference for subtle, indirect, and face-saving language left Western audiences with the impression that there was still room to push, test, or escalate. That ambiguity invited miscalculation. Victor Gao deliberately breaks that pattern. He speaks in the direct, unambiguous register that Western audiences actually understand. When he says “if you want war, you will get war” or lays out the nuclear consequences in plain terms, he is not performing for domestic nationalists , he is translating China’s actual red lines into language that cannot be spun as mere rhetoric or empty posturing.

His phrasing is precise, not reckless. It removes the interpretive space that previously allowed policymakers and media in the West to underestimate resolve. Far from handing Western media “soundbites,” he is denying them the comfort of continued strategic ambiguity.

If you believe that continued subtlety serves China’s interests better than clarity, you are repeating the very approach that has produced repeated Western misjudgments. Gao’s style is the correction, not the problem.

Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.

Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.

New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.

Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

WAIC 2026 is site of many SuperPoDs. HW unveiled Atlas-950 for the 1st time. Unlike its presentation last yr, this initial sales version only has 1024 NPUs & 1 EFLOPS compute + 256 TB memory & 3μs RTT delay.

Some photos of Atlas-950 network & compute cabinets. More to follow:

If you think China's auto export growth is dramatic, that still does not compare to Biotech out-licensing deals.

In 2026H1, China hit $110B (w/ $6B up-front) across 81 such deals including 16 deals >= $100m

2026H1 global 1st include:
Bispecific ADC, CAR-T for solid tumors, mAb for HBV + HDV co-infection

+ China's first proprietary radiopharmaceutical (30-yr domestic gap in nuclear medicine)

Zhengzhou super computing center came online in Apr w/ a 60k+ card cluster built by Sugon.

It has now been expanded to over 100k+ card. This is the largest cluster in supercomputing web platform using domestic AI chips.

Long range footage of the catch. It looks like it did some dodge / hover maneuver to protect the barge.

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.

[Li Zexin 李泽欣 @XH_Lee23]

Louis Vuitton isn't the only one. Many European luxury brands got "inspiration" from ancient Chinese aesthetics, and made billions off it.

@BrianTycangco It looks like South Korea will have higher birth rate than China this year if the trend continues.
