My dears, following 2 intense days in Chongqing our crew arrived to Chengdu! 🥰
After relaxing food massage visited ancient Taosiam Buddhist temple.
I also had a traditional Chengdu ear cleaning and now feel like Daredevil, can hear people from the opposite side of the city 😌
@Gutsuki_Losa@WallStreetSilv Too late. Those important scientists and engineers from Taiwan already took jobs in Mainland China. Who do you think helped with jumpstarting those China chip startups?
The US should have a plan to evacuate important scientists and engineers from Taiwan before the CCP can get to them. If China does invade, destroy all TSMC sites and data storage facilities.
Intel or TSMC USA can bring the Taiwanese scientists and engineers on board to work for them.
In fact, we should have similar plans for scientists in South Korea and Japan. The CCP likely has plans for those countries too.
Taiwan produces over 60% of the world's semiconductors and over 90% of the most advanced ones. Most are manufactured by a single company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC).
This is why the U.S. will defend Taiwan, at least until all those chips can be produced elsewhere 🚨🚨🚨
The immediate task is to stop the bombing, end the horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and go forward with the entire world toward a two-state solution.
Continuing important face to face diplomacy in Beijing, I met today with Central Foreign Affairs Office Director Wang Yi for discussions on a range of bilateral and global issues that affect people at home and around the world.
It's hard to believe there're still beautiful places where people live and work normal lives
This is Baisha in Yunnan, not hugely commercial but has a few hotels, shops and restaurants
11 hrs on a HST to Lijiang +40 min in a car or, 30 hrs on a green sleeper train, quite remote
Just booked train and hotel, Dali in Yunnan, we'll be travelling 10 hours by HST to get there and staying on the lakeside - might have some wonderful views, hope to have some great videos too.
Lots of travelling in the last 2 years, but this is the first holiday since March 2021
Today is a huge day for developers. 🤯
- ChatGPT API released (10x cheaper)
- Whisper available in the API

Here’s a quick thread on everything we shipped today @OpenAI 🧵
President Xi Jinping and I have a responsibility to work together on urgent global challenges and to continue the open and honest dialogue we’ve always shared.
@ArchAng07697946@MacaesBruno Russia had blown up their own buildings and people under a false flag, to have a cause to start a war. So that wouldn't be something new.
Ukraine potentially joining NATO is considered an act of heroism while the Solomon Islands agreeing to a security pact with China has the Western media openly calling for regime change.
Classic case of rules for thee, but not for me.
My hometown Chongqing in 1930.
Due to Amendment made to Sino-British Chefoo Convention, China forced to open Chongqing as a treaty port in 1890, China not allowed to tax Opium import beyond 80 tael of silver. Foreigners enjoyed extraterritorial rights.
