@rejiretu @clashreport Nobody's talking about what the reporter said, we're talking about what Trump said.

@clashreport He's a reporter for TV Asahi. TV Asahi is left-leaning, anti-Trump, and anti-Takaichi. Its viewers are mainly left-leaning elderly people over 60. Therefore, you don't need to take what he says seriously.

Reporter: Why didn’t you inform allies before attacking Iran? Trump: We wanted surprise—who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

@Konstantine_val @otarumorumotto @SandyofCthulhu Like what? You should look them up and google them, and you'll see just how outdated their Chinese equipment is.

@otarumorumotto @SandyofCthulhu Iran and Venezuela both have Chinese air defense systems

1) We have fought wars against Chinese equipment and it has NOT stood up. 2) if we haven't fought a peer, neither has China. In even longer. In fact the last "peer to peer" war either of us had was against each other, in Korea. 3) we have captured and examined Russian targeting, radar, and electronics from shot-down planes in Ukraine. China uses the same systems. So we know all about Chinese electronics. Thanks, Zelensky! 4) even if the Chinese are a peer-to-peer opponent quality wise, the US has 13,000 military aircraft. China has about 3500. We used to hear a LOT about how "quantity has a quality all its own" and how the Chinese vast numbers would overwhelm us. Well, in case of a confrontation in the recent future, we would be the "vast number" opponent. 5) we have indomitable allies we can rely on. Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, for example. Hell, even Vietnam(!) has said they'd let us use their naval bases in an anti-Chinese conflict. That's how hated China is.

@True_Patriot776 @SandyofCthulhu How do you figure that? They're pretty good in cutting edge software as you can see with their AI models, except unlike AI models they don't have a disadvantage in hardware. In fact, they're the leader in power semiconductors due to their extensive use in EVs, renewables, etc.

@SandyofCthulhu Chinese radar systems are easily jammable, meanwhile, we test our own radar systems against our very own jammers to make OUR radars highly jam-resistant.

@martianwyrdlord Somehow Vietnam managed to do it under similar situations.

You don't get to reconsider geography. Canada shares North America with the US: by far our most important trading partner; a close cultural sibling; and a military superpower that can conquer us by next Tuesday without noticing. The only reason the US hasn't annexed us yet is that we've been a good, friendly neighbor who didn't threaten them and at least made encouraging noises about continental security. Inviting Hemispheric Adversary Number One to massively expand trade with us while becoming security partners is extremely stupid, as well as dishonourable. The Laurentians deserve everything that's going to happen to them.

@clashreport I also looked at a globe, and found that the Czech Republic lies right between Russia and Germany. Therefore it stands to reason that the Czech Republic should be given to Germany, as it once was in the early 40's.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš: I bought a globe so I could see exactly where Greenland is. The Oreshnik would fly from Russia to the White House in 26 minutes, and the eleventh minute would be exactly over Greenland. So Donald Trump’s arguments about China and Russia are relevant…

@WomanDefiner What about OpenAI? Intel? Nvidia? AMD?

People don't fully understand what is happening but We're kicking China out of our hemisphere. This isn't about Russia, its about China. Maduro was about China, Colombia is about China, Greenland is about China, Mexico will also be about China. I suspect by the end of Trumps term China will have zero property in the US.

@RushDoshi Mr. Doshi, it doesn't matter what your intent is. China clearly sees high tech manufacturing as key to avoid the middle income trap. As such, export controls are viewed by them as an attempt to keep the entire country from advancing to developed status.

Lot of PRC bots in the replies. Here’s the reality: - No US export control action threatened China’s entire economy. - China’s export control action threatens the entire US manufacturing ecosystem. There is no equivalence. I’m not making a moral point but an empirical one.

@Gobos_ @SecScottBessent I thought innovation can only happen with free thinkers in a democracy, what tech could a communist country possibly develop that we'd want?

@SecScottBessent Rather than tariffs, we should flip the script on China - if you want market access, you have to transfer advanced manufacturing to our countries with 51% domestic ownership.

President Trump is asserting American sovereignty and leading our allies to push back against China’s economic coercion. We do not seek to decouple from China, but we will not let a command-and-control economy dictate terms to the United States.

@YayAreaNews Def felt it in Walnut Creek

An Earthquake just struck the Bay Area Did you feel it?

@cryptosheep_eth @LeadingReport @grok Doubt it, Elon seems to only want to have kids, he doesn't seem interested in sex.

@LeadingReport @grok how likely is it that Elon is on the list himself

BREAKING: Elon Musk says he will apologize profusely to President Trump once there is a “full dump” of the Epstein files.

@ATimeswift @lyndaarizona @CatWorkers @JepthaCreed Yeah, if both parents are orange then all offspring, male and female, will be orange.

@lyndaarizona @CatWorkers @JepthaCreed Most likely, both parents were orange.

@CatWorkers @JepthaCreed What pretty sisters! And what a wonderful heart you have for giving them a home - and meaningful employment 😂. Just as an FYI, it is rare to find an orange female cat - to have four, and as sisters, is extraordinary. I hope they have brought a spark of magic to your distillery.

@TempusTactica @unusual_whales It's a power semiconductor company, which is used in anything that uses a lot of electricity and is digitally controlled (e.g. EVs, high power radars, etc.). It was the world leader in this field, and in fact I think still leads the world in production capacity.

@unusual_whales What’s this company?? And why it went public

Wolfspeed $WOLF is filling for bankruptcy. To say options sentiment was bearish on this is an understatement. Today's net premium, NEGATIVE $3.7 MILLION! Most active chains $WOLF $3 puts expiring 07/18/2025. People have been trading the companies downfall for a while, but WENT INCREDIBLY HEAVY today, before the news. People knew, and kept trading it.

@thecolemanthe @zzaurav @mattyglesias Did you know that China adds as many industrial robots as the rest of the world combined each year?

@zzaurav @mattyglesias There are massive inefficiencies in Chinese manufacturing. Why buy a robot/machine when people are cheap. A large chunk of world manufacturing, not just the US, has been shifting to Vietnam and Thailand over the past few years. The CN workers started to cost too much.

@burlapDD @YTortamis @PJ11819211 Way ahead of you there here in America! Economic indicators not passing the vibe test is how the Dems lost the election.

@YTortamis @PJ11819211 Yeah dont look at any economic metrics at all Just dickride the CCP on vibes lmao 🤡

I have never sympathized more with Xi as now, I get why he liquidated his fintech/software sector in 2021-2023, these are unbelievable stupid egotistical people that will burn the rest of society down if anyone insulted their competence.

@GlennLuk @DanCollins2011 Right, and the execution requires investing heavily in education and infrastructure, things that cost a lot for a long time with little direct ROI for the investors. That's how it worked for other East Asian countries as well.

@DanCollins2011 But execution matters

China built the world’s most powerful economy behind high tariff trade walls, import substitution and localization rules combined with low taxes. Trump is instinctively copying this model. I’m impressed.

@Hi5FromBriGuy @christianbora @AISafetyMemes @DarioAmodei Doesn't it actually prove his argument? China can freely purchase Airbus or Boeing's best and latest aircrafts, and this lack of constraint probably contributes to their slow progress in developing their own civilian aircraft manufacturing industry.

@christianbora @AISafetyMemes @DarioAmodei It’s funny you specifically bring up the aircraft industry when China has tried again and again to create just that but has failed.

@4intheflames @rwang07 @kakashiii111 Hint: look at the Key areas and strategic goals sections. DS is just one LLM, to accomplish its goals you'll need other LLMs, other models, and numerous other industries working together.

@rwang07 @kakashiii111 Why though when deepseeker can do it for $6 million?

China's New AI Industry Development Action Plan (中国银行支持人工智能产业链发展行动方案) Will Provide 1 trillion yuan ($ 137 billion) to support its AI industry over the next five years 🇺🇸🇨🇳 This might be the most important Chinese AI policy initiative in 2025 so far. /1

@Feraligamr @ShortsMVP @InfernoOmni Never played either game, watched both shows. Fallout was good, Arcane was legendary (pardon my pun). After finishing Fallout I thought it was pretty enjoyable, after finishing Arcane I immediately wanted watch it again and tell everyone I know about how amazing it is.

@ShortsMVP @InfernoOmni I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with Arcane, but people who aren’t in gaming spaces are not going to watch Arcane. They will watch Fallout. That simple

HOW THE HELL DID FALLOUT BEAT ARCANE FOR BEST GAME ADAPTATION AIN’T NO WAY

@1iverbird97 @DeepRobotics_CN Efficiency is the biggest reason. Air travel is less efficient than ground which is less efficient than sea, assuming the same payload and vehicles designed for that payload. You can also see things an aerial vehicle may not be able to see, though the vice versa is also true.

@DeepRobotics_CN Often wondered why all that callisthenics when smaller drones can just fly at a minuscule of a cost

@7digitalHelp I needed to download the Bleachers album in a hurry, but download speed was at an abysmal ~50 kb/s. I ended up purchasing from a different vendor. I'd like a refund.
