@WeijinResearch Welcome! Looking forward to keeping informed.

Hi everyone! New to Twitter but not new to China tech. We are a prolific publication writing about China’s technology, energy, and industrial change for readers who want more than headlines. Founded by renowned media and business executive Zhou Jiangong, Weijin Research is built around serious, readable analysis of the systems shaping China’s future, from AI and energy to manufacturing and industrial policy. We're part of the @techbuzzchina Content Network and we are here to share our work in English. Please also subscribe to our substack!

Photo from Shenzhen: huge crowd of Chinese people (lots of grannies!) lining up to get help installing OpenClaw. One thing about tech diffusion in China that I feel is underdiscussed and that I’ll admit I don’t fully understand, is how open people of all ages are to jump into new tech. Feels very different from the AI suspicion/resistance you see in the U.S. Similar with mobile payments and the shift to cashless. Street vendors in the lowest tier cities setting up WeChat Pay and Alipay QR codes almost overnight and Chinese grannies happily using payment apps with no problem at all. And yes that kind of grassroots adoption helped mobile payments scale extremely fast and allowed China to basically skip the credit card phase. My conjecture is that if something similar happens with AI tools the speed of AI diffusion in China could look very different from what we see in other countries, which obviously would have major implications...

Asia’s energy crunch is spreading fast as disruption at the Strait of Hormuz ripples across fuel markets. Singapore bunker hubs cut supply, China halts diesel & gasoline exports, S. Korea petrochem declares naphtha force majeure, while Japan (~90% ME crude) may tap SPR.

Disruption from the war isn't just to the oil-and-gas industry: "The Middle East is one of the world's largest fertiliser producers, while the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial shipping route for exports. About 35 per cent of global urea exports pass through the waterway... the route also handles 45 per cent of global sulphur exports." "If the disruption continues, consumers could see higher prices for bread within six to 10 weeks, eggs within a few months and pork and broiler chicken within six months." ft.com/content/7efe20…

It's becoming normal. Expected. Even boring. The future has long arrived.

🚨🚨| OFFICIAL: Al-Hilal have knocked Manchester City out of the Club World Cup in a stunning upset! 🇸🇦🔥 A huge result for the Saudi giants, who now advance to face Fluminense in the next round.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says "banks are free to conduct crypto activities."

My latest work, BLACKOUT, is now live in Milan. The most rewarding feeling is witnessing a project materialize after months of planning, logistics, and production. A radical public intervention that needs no boundaries or context, only direct experience.

If you do one thing today, make sure you watch this.

I don’t think people are fully appreciating how big a deal the German €1 trillion+ investment offensive is. It will act as a giant fiscal stimulus to the county’s economy, upgrade its infrastructure, and transform its defence capabilities. Debt-to-GDP will rise from 62% to 80% so remain manageable. Big positive growth implications for 🇪🇺

#ChineseGP 🇨🇳 | Lewis Hamilton: “Last week, for whatever reason, I didn’t feel comfortable in the car. I think set up wasn’t where I wanted it to be.” “I still am sitting back and letting the guys do what they do, I need to observe rather than imposing because maybe what I’ve done in the past won’t work. But coming into this weekend, on Monday, I hit Riccardo up and said ‘these are the things I want to start with this weekend, this is more the direction…’ and I’m much happier.” “From the moment I started driving yesterday, I felt one with the car.”

I can't stop thinking about this quote from US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent: [W]e are going to keep the U.S. the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we will use stablecoins to do that. However big you think stablecoin AUM will get, you're probably thinking too small. So, the question becomes: What does the rest of the crypto market look like if stablecoin AUM is multiple trillions?

@mr_merge @trevorjonesart @muratpak Your collection will not be complete without Sense. 😅

@trevorjonesart was exploring this space before NFT's were 'a thing'. I look forward to taking the opportunity to add more pieces by Trevor in the future. This is added to 'Fusion' and 'Extrusion', part of 'The Collision by @muratpak & Trevor Jones' that currently reside in my collection.

Added The Bitcoin Angel (Open Edition) by @trevorjonesart to my collection. An absolute steal at $170.

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵
