@leijun Just a cheap knockoff Porsche, how about making your own design rather than stealing like a common gutter thief?

Let me introduce you the new-gen Xiaomi SU7! Our new Coastal Blue is inspired by Italy’s Blue Grotto. The warm Cream Beige interior completes the vibe—love it?

@Ola_in_scania @luce_aaron22672 Yes, but there's a falsehood that EVs don't burn as much as ICE cars, we have over 100 years of ICE cars on the road. EV fires are extremely dangerous and violent but people deflect with this "but muh ICE fires" nonsense

@DaleboutWilliam @Kodsterrrr @fleshsimulator Tourist? I lived in China for 14 years, studied Chinese in Shenzhen university and can read write and speak Chinese, am married to a Chinese woman with a half Chinese daughter and have many Chinese friends and acquaintances. You’re just a coward who 怕家丑不可外扬

@serpentza You're technologically minded and fair. What do you think of Byte Dance's ambitions and modi operandi (modes of operating)?
Byron Wan@Byron_Wan

TikTok’s parent 🇨🇳 ByteDance is assembling computing power with high-end Nvidia chips outside China to fuel its ambition of becoming a global AI leader, and is working with a Southeast Asian company called Aolani Cloud on plans to use some 500 Nvidia Blackwell computing systems in Malaysia totaling around 36,000 B200 chips. Aolani is buying servers from Aivres, a company that assembles servers using Nvidia chips. If all the arrangements are completed, the hardware involved would likely cost more than $2.5 billion. An Aolani spokesman said the company was currently operating with about $100 million in hardware. ByteDance plans to use the computing power for AI R&D outside China, as well as to meet the rising demand for AI from its customers around the globe. ByteDance has global ambitions to challenge Google, OpenAI and other American companies with a range of AI applications for everyday users. The company already brings in around a quarter of its revenue from outside China. ByteDance has created more than a dozen AI apps in China and parallel versions for overseas markets, such as chatbot Dola, video creator Dreamina and homework helper Gauth. Seedance, ByteDance’s AI video-generation model, has won attention recently for its ability to turn script prompts into realistic short movie scenes. The company operates five of the world’s 50 most popular AI consumer apps by monthly active users. ByteDance has sizable teams of AI researchers and engineers in Singapore, San Jose in California and Seattle, who team up with colleagues in China for foundational AI research. The Singapore and US teams also participate in developing AI models and products, including many designed for markets outside China. For more than three years, Chinese tech companies have been grappling with US export controls that prevent Nvidia from selling top-of-the-line AI chips such as the Blackwell series directly to China. Chinese executives have said the curtailed access to computing power is stifling their AI development. Chinese companies are spending more to access computing power outside China, in places where the application of the US export-control rules is less well-established. That has given rise to an industry of middlemen who arrange for data centers to be built with Nvidia chips and lease the computing power to Chinese tech companies. In late 2023, a group of investors set up Aolani and created a holding company as its parent in the Cayman Islands. The investors include Singapore-based venture-capital firm K3 Ventures. Aolani is a tier-1 cloud partner of Nvidia, which means it is certified by the American chip company for priority access to its latest chips. Since Feb 2025, Aolani has leased AI servers in Malaysia containing Nvidia’s H100 chips to ByteDance. For the new Blackwell plan, involving more advanced chips, ByteDance has made initial payments and the devices are also set to be deployed in facilities in Malaysia. In a June 2025 description of its business, Aolani said “Asian hyperscalers” preferred to do business with partners such as Aolani to ensure “compliance in the current geopolitical environment.” In addition to Malaysia, it said it planned to operate facilities in South Korea, Australia and Europe. Also that month, Aolani discussed geopolitical risks in a separate presentation for lenders, saying it worked with a US law firm to ensure compliance. Without giving details, it said the law firm believed “future regulatory changes would likely be prospective, not retroactive.” It was previously reported that ByteDance was in talks to use AI servers containing more than 7,000 B200 chips at a data center in Indonesia. The company’s website says it is seeking to fill more than 100 AI-related vacancies in San Jose and Seattle. wsj.com/tech/chinas-by…

This is what it is like in China but when Chinese companies practice the same in their factories overseas, countries that actually have labor laws and who care about workers are shocked and revolted

At the huge BYD plant in Brazil: "Chinese men were inhabiting practically every square inch. Most slept w/o mattresses. Trash lay everywhere. Food was stored on the ground...31 laborers shared a single bathroom; it was coated with an 'excess of sludge.'" wapo.st/4uoWa5T

🚨🚨🚨 CHINA SURROUNDED TAIWAN WHILE AMERICA WAS FIGHTING IRAN. THE TIMING IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. 🚨🚨🚨 Yesterday, Taiwan's military detected 26 Chinese warplanes. 7 Chinese navy ships. All circling the island at once. This is the LARGEST military presence China has shown near Taiwan in weeks. And it happened the exact same day the US announced more troops heading to the Middle East. ⚠️ Taiwan signed a $9 BILLION arms deal yesterday — scrambling before a March 15 deadline ⚠️ One of those arms packages — 82 HIMARS systems — expires on March 26 ⚠️ South Korea quietly withdrew its THAAD missile defense because of Iran ⚠️ If China moves, North Korea could simultaneously threaten Japan and South Korea Here is the logic chain that should terrify you: China went quiet for 16 days near Taiwan → experts said "maybe peace" → then 26 planes returned yesterday → the lull was never peace → the lull was Xi waiting for the perfect window. America is at war in the Middle East. America's missile stockpiles are depleted. America's Marines are in the Gulf. And TSMC — the company that makes 90% of the world's advanced chips — sits on that island. ⚠️ If Taiwan falls, every AI company, every phone maker, every car brand on earth loses its chip supply ⚠️ One analyst called it: "S&P 500 down 50%" scenario ⚠️ The New York Times said it would "cripple the US economy" The uncomfortable question nobody is asking: If China moves this week, what exactly does America do with zero available military units and oil at $100? This is the most dangerous geopolitical window since 2003. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨

Yes, please. I think your content is great. China fascinates me. I missed the window to visit. China, Iran, and the DPRK are the three places I knew it would be best to live vicariously through others who have been. I’ll be sure to watch what you share and give it a thumbs up. Keep it coming.
