It was the ultimate 75kg face-off: The EngineAI T800 humanoid versus its own boss, CEO Zhao Tongyang. 🤖 One swift kick was all it took to send the CEO to the mat. You have to wonder if there was a little personal score-settling programmed into that move. 😂

The 14th batch of Guowang/Satnet got launched today. Reminder that demand for re-usable rockets like ZQ-3 & LM-12A is due to desire to launch about 30000 sats to LEO + fully establish multiple constellations there. Can't be a superpower w/o this capability.

You will see that EVs, regular NPP, solar/wind, batteries, semiconductors, robots and machine tools are not on this list. China is probably quite confident w/ them. Now is about what frontier to conquer next.
