1/ Whether or not you’ve heard the @BYDCompany mask story, and even if you know nothing about the EV giant, this is worth reading. The story is in Chinese, but we attempted to translate it, because it’s incredible. Please excuse the poor translation; we aren't fluent yet.

I shared more details, which Reuters just reported, on Bloomberg two months ago. Equity research, reporting, and certainly U.S. policy on China's chip development completely underestimate reality.
steve hsu@hsu_steve

Taylor Ogan broke this story on Manifold in early 2025. Taylor: ... there are teams at Huawei in two different parts of China that are working around the clock ... literally cut off from their friends and family just because the work they're doing is so sensitive. Imagine how quickly they're going to accelerate, Chinese complete domestic chip development. Steve Hsu: You going to say that they're working on EUV lithography

Reuters: Shenzhen team completed a working prototype of a EUV machine in early 2025 Government is targeting 2028 for working chips, but sources say 2030 is more likely. ... The team includes recently retired, Chinese-born former ASML engineers and scientists—prime recruitment targets because they possess sensitive technical knowledge but face fewer professional constraints after leaving the company, the people said. ... Lin Nan, ASML's former head of light source technology, whose team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Shanghai Institute of Optics has filed eight patents on EUV light sources in 18 months. [ Note: solid-state pulsed lasers instead of CO2 lasers ] Take all this with a grain of salt, ofc.

Another DeepSeek moment. This is the world’s first actual smart phone. It’s an engineering prototype of ZTE’s Nubia M153 running ByteDance’s Doubao AI agent fused into Android at the OS level. It has complete control over the phone. It can see the UI, choose/download apps, tap/type, call, and run multi-step task chains. Here I just say (in English) “find someone to wait in line for me” (something you can do in China), and it picks which app to open, configures the job, and hands me one confirm screen. I wouldn’t otherwise know how to do this, and here the phone just did it in a matter of seconds.

Our @TaylorOgan & Chen Xiangming explore Shenzhen as a "Spinout City," where firms like DJI, Huawei, & BYD, plus uni incubators & a dense parts ecosystem, form an "alumni flywheel" that turns technical managers into founders & suppliers into platform companies, fueling innovation
ThinkChina@ThinkChinaSG

As Shenzhen gains innovation power, it has become more integrated with neighbouring Hong Kong and nearby Guangzhou to form a regional innovation ecosystem... tinyurl.com/48k8r8wk #China #Shenzhen #Guangzhou #ThinkChina

It’s official! The 2026 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting will be held in China, and Shenzhen will take the stage as the host city. From a border town to a global metropolis, Shenzhen has become a symbol of China’s reform and opening-up, with its GDP surging 13,600 times and population expanding 50-fold in just 45 years. As the most influential economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC now looks to Shenzhen — where opportunities meets the world.

Read my latest for @nytimes , together with my colleague Dr. Jennifer Wong-Leung, featuring our latest ASPI research: Shutting out China’s best minds will only push them into a homegrown Chinese research ecosystem that is already eclipsing American universities.

I’m at the Bay Area Semiconductor Expo in Shenzhen. A company called Qiyunfang, a subsidiary of 新凯来 (SiCarrier), just unveiled two fully domestic EDA software platforms: one for schematic and one for PCB design. Yet another Made in China 2025 success.

For @gdnlongread, I profile'd Zhu Song-Chun, one of China's top AI scientists and an avatar of America's "reverse brain drain" problem. I detail why he left, the geopolitics of his repatriation, and the keys to AGI he may have brought back with him. theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…

Here’s a great overview and analysis (and English translation) of China’s new “AI Plus” plan. It’s not about achieving some abstract idea of “AGI” but about practically infusing AI into every sector of the economy to drive productivity and growth. geopolitechs.org/p/china-releas…

This is crazy. There's a new mural being painted outside of where I play tennis in Shenzhen. I noticed they painted, "I CHOICE SZ" in balloon letters, instead of "I CHOOSE SZ". So I filed a ticket via 12345 WeChat Mini Program (Shenzhen's citizen hotline) at 3:06pm on Tuesday. Last night (Wednesday), it had been repainted!
