In China’s platform era, who really holds power over the news? Tencent, as 澎湃新闻 The Paper just publicly showed. In a rare, very open challenge from a legit state-affiliated investigative outlet, The Paper is calling out Tencent deleting reporting and playing editor in chief.

If you are a Chinese go global brand and coming to CES, it would be an epic social and content strategy to bring Ryan to Vegas. The brownie point you’d get and finally getting the dual narrative right in both US and China.
Ryan Chen, aka the Chinese Trump, despite having appeared on CNN and The New York Times, has never visited the United States. Consider getting him there.

Peak echo chamber exhibit A. I can almost hear the walls agreeing with each other.
The most hawkish people on China I know are all Chinese citizens or Chinese Americans who were born in China. They've lived it, and they get it.

Four main reasons: 1. China tech has been a huge beneficiary of open source for the last 20+ years. Its developer ecosystem is familiar with the benefits and playbook of open source (e.g. community building, documentation writing, etc.) 2. Open source has a commercial playbook
China's open source is just on fire. Soul, China's Tinder (?), has just open sourced their podcast model on @huggingface

Not in China, just good ol’ Flushing, Queens. In the back of a run down KTV there is a Sichuan gem called Auntie Liu’s private kitchen. She reminds me so much of my grandma from 10 years ago, so vibrant and chatty.

New: Across Silicon Valley, AI researchers are putting in 80-100 hour workweeks to keep pace with technological progress. Several compared it to war, and one executive even joked that the new work schedule is "0-0-2," midnight to midnight with two hours off.

I'm not 100% sure but my guess is that Steve is saying this shows China has minimal IP that other nations find valuable. No; it's because China does not export much IP in license form because most of its IP gets packaged with manufactured goods. https://t.co/lEeponwkz1
@stevehou0 First, will need you to clarify exactly what this is an indictment of — although I suspect you are interpreting this chart incorrectly: China does export intellectual property but in almost all cases it is in "embodied form" i.e. embedded with hardware (e.g. a Huawei 5G phone).

my new essay “The China Tech Canon” is out in @asteriskmgzn's 12th issue, themed “Book.” link in reply. in this piece, i trace the intellectual map of china’s tech founders by asking a simple question: what books have shaped their worldview? what emerged is that the “china

Chinese companies bring over 30,000 Chinese workers to work at nickel plants in Indonesia, particularly former steel workers from China’s rust belt with industry skills. But the working conditions are brutal and dangerous. Incredible piece by @Wufei_Yu
restofworld.org
30,000 Chinese workers travel thousands of miles to remote islands in Eastern Indonesia to process nickel — and put their lives at risk on the frontier of the green energy transition.

"Will the U.S. be able to secure rare earths processing capacity before China develops self-sufficiency in advanced node chips?" This is spot-on and perhaps the only question that matters.
This is true. China's rare earths supply can be replaced. But you can say the same thing about advanced chipmaking. Thus more relevant question is: Will the U.S. be able to secure rare earths processing capacity before China develops self-sufficiency in advanced node chips?

On TikTok EO: “Formally American, but functionally dependent on Bytedance. The narrative around TikTok ownership on the surface is about national security, but there is a deeper us vs. them logic, escalated by the endgame which is political.” And the executive order signed today
