Graduated with PhD in Shanghai. Currently working in Xinjiang.. watch my youtube : livinlavidaluke!
Urumqi, Xinjiang
Joined July 2009
BIG news - I'm going to be living in Xinjiang from next month. Why? Submitting draft of PhD thesis soon which lets me use AI to detect cancer, better than doctors can. 🎉 BUT It will take months to process and graduate, and it's difficult to find graduate job i want without

OK but all LLMs are capable and similar at this point. The difference is US AI companies compete to gain profits. Chinese AI companies decided to invest their time to work with governments to benefit people Like, DeepSeek isn’t just a chatbot.. it’s already running in China's

I very nearly quit doing my PhD 2 years ago because in China it is BRUTAL. Years of exams and needing to publish in top journals as the only author. Brutal but rewarding: it’s part of a system that now graduates ~2× as many STEM PhDs as the US and is probably outspending America
In about 3 hours I will have done my PhD Defense in China (using English/Chinese💀) and will know if i’m: a) A Doctor b) Demoted to Master degree c) FAILED😭

Good question! Now i can apply for the insanely difficult China Green Card! 💪 I actually have a research job lined up with a hospital which i’m considering. Or i could go for an AI company, but would be loooooong hours. Alternatively i could just stay in Xinjiang at a

Next time you read about Taiwan on here, it might just be a random 36 yr old Australian dude not even living in Taiwan, with no connection to there... Instead you can learn a lot by following real people representing real Taiwan views like @notXiangyu and @fatchinese888 for

I miss Shanghai a lot - been away for a year and a lot of it i don’t recognise. It feels like i’m abroad at times, there’s 100x more foreigners (because of free visas). Cafes i used to go to have closed. New ones have replaced them. New shopping malls and business areas. Lots

The funny thing is I’m not even talking about “how good China is”. I corrected a mistranslation in a clip which you claimed happened and haven't taken down that tweet. I live in Xinjiang, speak some Uyghur, and have actually been to one of those mosques. You’ve never reported
@96Stats You're literally a propagandist who whitewashes the bad actions of the CCP, if you had the courage to criticize the CCP publicly about anything at all then maybe people could take you more seriously. And yes, someone living outside of China is more trustworthy

Me: An innocuous photo about my daily life in Xinjiang Comments/Quotes: HOW DARE YOU LIKE IT THERE😡😡😡
Each time I go to my local cafe in Xinjiang, the barista will write a Uyghur proverb or phrase on my coffee cup. Today it says: Focus on yourself, stop worrying about others.

I'm always surprised how little people know about Mao's actual economic record. Most - like Melissa here 👇- repeat the standard narrative: he kept China poor, and it's only after Deng Xiaoping opened up China that the country experienced economic growth. Basically the idea is
