That is perhaps why the USA is so keen to force Tik Tok to be sold to a USA entity under its control or face banning in the USA, apart from the political reason of acquiescing to the demands of Israel over the apps catering to the pro-Palestinian stance of its users. The USA is thinking that taking over of Tik Tok in such a manner may be one way of 'taking hold' of Chinese technology which it would otherwise be accused of 'stealing'.
One USA vlogger was shown to be telling everyone that practically everything in USA homes is made in China - the sofas, TVs, furniture, clothes, sundries and even medicines. Trump's MAGA hats are also made in China. The USA flag is also made in China. Why is the USA Congress and Government not taking issue with the manufacturers?

The USA's agenda to dominate AI is being taken to the cleaners. DeepSeek has thrown a spanner into the works of all the USA AI investors such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and many others, whose investments were said to run into hundreds of billions. Nvidia will be hard hit, given the wake-up call that AI development does not need solely to depend on high-end GPU chips that it monopolizes.
The USA's restriction on Nvidia's sale of high-end chips to China is now becoming an exercise in futility. DeepSeek was able to come up, within such a short span of time, just leveraging on lesser high-end chips, to have a system that trounced these USA companies in terms of performance on most parameters, except the amount of money they poured in over many years.
DeepSeek was able to outperform the multi-billion conglomerates of the USA with a budget of just US$5.5 million funded by Chinese hedge fund HighFlyer. And the most nerve-wracking thought for its competitors was that DeepSeek was started just in 2023, by Liang Wenfeng, a former hedge fund manager. How did such a late starter in the AI business managed to rise so fast is really shocking.
The most surprising discovery was that most of DeepSeek's scientists were young graduates culled from Beijing, Tsinghua and Beihang Universities as disclosed by Nury Vittachi on his site 'Fridayeveryday'. Talk about new nerds, thinking out of the box, does really promote better thinking and innovation than relying on the same old nerds of old.
Now the USA is trying to promote the narrative that DeepSeek is a dangerous competitor, by giving free usage for the rest of the world and not capitalizing on its commercial gain. Just imagine that by saying giving others the free gift is a dangerous thing. We can expect more negative attack on DeepSeek as the days go by, even using the same template that anything from China is junk. Well, let the USA and the West still continue with their superiority complex thinking and suffer the indignity when the shit hits the fan. We have seen it in space stations, high-speed rails, EVs, batteries, jet engines, shipbuilding and now testing the boundaries of AI. Bet against China all they want, but China has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Whether using Nvidia's most prominent high-end chips or not, the fact that DeepSeek can produce something that is better than the technological AI Giants of the USA is already something to think about.
And to think that DeepSeek is only a newborn in the world of AI, this is indeed a stark message that the USA may find hard to swallow. The most significant of all this development is that DeepSeek is going to eat the breakfast, lunch and dinner of the USA technological Giants in AI that is causing much alarm. DeepSeek is breaking the rice bowl of those Giants of AI if this goes one.
DeepSeek’s AI assistant, released last week, has overtaken the US-based ChatGPT as the most popular program on the Apple App Store. The Chinese startup claims its latest large language model is as powerful as its Western competitors, but at a fraction of the cost to train and operate.
“Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek’s services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service,” said a notice posted on the company’s website on Monday. “Existing users can log in as usual.” RT
The American gangsters cannot win have started to attack Deepseek.
Many are putting up comments like - The competition in AI is basically between USA Chinese against Mainland Chinese. That is the stark reality, even if there are Taiwanese Chinese on the USA side.
DeepSeek is a wake-up call for the USA. If the USA falls behind despite all the effort to keep China down, that would be the best laughter for the Chinese.
Remember, who laugh last laugh best.
The Chinese have excelled in application of technology. Even with lesser chips, they could use the chips to perform better than the Americans. Apple's iPhone with 3nm cannot perform better than 7nm Huawei phones.
Now OpenAI, Meta, Amazin, ChatGPT with more advanced Nvidia GPUs are losing out to DeepSeek with lesser chips.
What is the point of spending so much for advanced chips but did not know how to use them?
The reason the USA is losing the tech war is because they are too arrogant and think too highly of themselves. Without the foreign element doing the research and innovation input, they are hapless trying to face competition.
As a good example, the USA had to use underhand tactics to suppress the Japanese innovation expertise, which they succeeded in doing so. Against France it was the same story with Alstom being targeted. Now the USA is doing the same to Germany, using a different tactic by getting rid of cheap energy that Germany needed to fuel its manufacturing.
When it comes to China, so many different tactics have been used to put China down. I am not going to talk about old history, but recent history with trade wars, technology squeeze and tariffs are all about strangling China. But China is not that easy meat for the USA to overcome. Five thousand years of history have taught the Chinese the experience to survive against all odds.
China has surpassed the USA in many things that are clearly visible. Even Huawei has the kind of Chinese spirit in fighting back and gaining ground instead. The saying that 'Necessity is the mother of Invention' has not been lost on them and Huawei is innovating quietly. New Chinese startups like DeepSeek are giving USA technology Giants a run for their money.
The bloodletting of the USA technology Giants in the face of DeepSeek surfacing may take a break, but in the longer term, being an open-source platform and free to use, that is going to cannibalize those pay for use USA AI Giant's bottom line for a long time to come. And if users are able to make use of DeepSeek's gift to innovate further, the future is not going to look good for them. That I think is the reason why the USA is starting to fabricate the narrative that DeepSeek is a dangerous competitor.
There is a new AI kid on the block and USA tech companies are terrified. The same state of being terror-stricken by Huawei and Tik Tok. Now what is the USA going to do. Ban it? But it is free, so does it make sense?
Now a USA MSM is trying to create narratives to demonize DeepSeek developer, talking about Liang Wenfeng's terrible hairstyle. Is that important? They have to be more creative than that to dishonor the man.
I can see that there are lots of damage control being put up to downplay the effect of DeepSteek's AI rollout on Youtube.
That's why I said Trump's InARGuration, he should just order buffet bee hoon with fish balls rather than had expensive no use luxurious food.
Not necessarily expensive good food can beat the simple food.
Cheers
