China is just content to keep updated on tech developments, with AI among its many avenues for survival. China's manufacturing and dominance in many other fields will ensure it does not fall flat depending on just one particular sector. This is what is meant by self-reliance in everything, which is China's priority moving forward.
China puts its eggs in many baskets, and no country can attempt to make China collapse by blockading one sector. Even in energy, that China depended on in a big way, has been an attempt to cripple China's manufacturing with the war on Iran and the energy blockade in the Middle East. China had discounted that by sourcing energy from Russia, building huge hydro-electric generating facilities, building up its renewable energy infrastructures, construction many more nuclear power plants and expanding its oil storage facilities deep underground.
China builds to safeguard its future, not for vanity reasons, like building ballrooms, upgrading reflecting pools, placing names on monuments for posterity reasons, minting golden visa cards and coins in the hope that people will remember the enabler.

China moves forward based on its ability to manufacture goods for the world. USA ability to progress is all based on hype. Just like all the hype regarding AI and data centers.
ReplyDeleteThese infrastructures are cannibalizing the USA power supply generation, which it has not been investing in with foresight unlike China. It is now putting the cart before the horse, trying to build power plants to cover the shortfall.
But, not to worry. Elon Musk is going to harvest the sun's energy and beaming it to earth to power all the AI and data centers, by building monster solar fields in space to do that. All hype or reality is up to you to believe. How much more costly are energy going to cost compared to solar panels collecting the sun's energy on the ground is the question. What about repairs and maintenance of those solar fields in space? Just these two questions should settle everything about the hype.
China now generates twice the electricity generated by the USA, which is powering its factories and the country as a whole. Which is why things can be made cheaper and why foreign manufacturers prefer building factories in China due to its cheap energy, relatively cheaper manpower and market. It is no use building factories in countries without a market to absorb what is being produced.
Which is why the USA needs to support a propaganda machine to the tune of US$300 million just for hyping. But the propaganda machine is running out of credibility being overused. Countering by foreigners visiting, working and living in China does a better job. But it still elicited the response that such foreigners are paid by the CPC. White men speak with forked tongues was and is never wrong.
ReplyDeleteIn football, they say never mess with Messi. In the movie, The Untouchables', Al Capone (played by Robert Di Niro) warned those trying to bring him to justice - 'You mess with me, I'll mess with you'.
ReplyDeleteStill on football, Kylian Mbappe, thought he is untouchable and tried to mess with China by making fun of Mao. He got roasted. Do not think that the Chinese do not like Mao just because of the problems he created. The years of Western and USA attempts to cripple China have made the Chinese even more patriotic towards former leaders. It basically backfired against the Anglo-Saxon Whites and the Japanese.
That is also what is happening with Iran. The Iranian people have more or less rallied around their leaders today as a result of the assassination of their Supreme Leaders, that was previously less evident.
USA has another product economy - money printing. A monopoly that no other country can compare.
ReplyDeleteYou want to earn Chinese money, the last thing to do is try to be funny with the Chinese.
ReplyDeleteThat Chinaman joke about being just chefs and laundrymen is coming back to eat the Anglo-Saxon Whites.
DeleteThe prevailing white men fantasy, Chinese population is in decline, Chinese economy is in trouble. Really? As for the population, China is replacing the 300m ageing population that are either illiterate or poorly educated with 100m highly educated engineers to drive their industries and economy, and supported by AI, robotics and machines.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the hillbillies and rednecks are still getting drugged or drunk and living in their own fantasies that their decadent empire will be great again, by willing and praying and trying to put down China.
And they are replacing their ageing population with more illiterate young and D graders that get fanciful degrees other than STEM degrees.
When the Chinese went to Europe, Germany I think, to buy tunnel burrowing machines, the German engineers refused to let the Chinamen touch the machine, treating them as ignorant fools. Today, the 'fools' are making all the best and bigger TBM and selling to the whole world. No one is buying German TBW anymore.
ReplyDeleteNearly 20% of Mercedes Benz is owned by China now. Soon it will be 100%. The only thing worthy of selling in Europe are the names of soon to be bankrupt companies especially the automobile companies. Many already bought over by China. Same as in the USA, including household names like IBM, GE and Motorola.
The white men really believed the Chinese are ignorant peasants, no talents, good enough only to be cooks and laundrymen. The Anglophiles still think so. Many Sinkies also think so. They still cannot believe the Chinese are now overtaking the Americans in every field in high tech, and think Sinkies are smarter than the Chinese.
