🇩🇪 German Government is not even trying to help our struggling Automotive Industry anymore. Example: German brands that have Chinese chips & software are being restricted to unload off US ports for imports. Now German OEM have to completely turn production and R&D upside down. Try to make a car nowadays without China. There is zero security issue with a German car in the US! But Germany submits to ideological economic warfare, willingly sacrificing its biggest companies for it.

🚨 Attention Please: Chinese Washing Machine maker Mijia just came out with a Washing Machine that features an additional compartment for underwear. This type of Chinese innovation should be nipped in the bud. As I publish this, I fully expect Raimondo has already gathered a task force of US lawmakers looking into sanctions and bans of such products and prevent imports into the US. Several things come to my mind: - Overcapacity of Chinese laundry and dirty underwear might flood overseas markets - As can be seen this laundromat can be remote controlled via app. We can't have potential national security risks hidden in our homes - imagine if our dirty underwear blows up in an orchestrated attack! - We've all seen what role washing machines played in the Russian invasion of Ukraine - I am not sure how much information this smart device gathers about our ordinary citizen. American underpants first! With that, I also think we should make American washing machines great again and introduce 3 washing compartments to out-innovate the Chinese!

Again a false China AI Narrative in this FT $NVDA article, which celebrates Nvidia's sales in China and suggests China can't do without NVidia's chips. The reality in China instead: 1. Nvidia had to cut prices, to compete with Huawei’s Ascend AI chip which outperforms and is in higher demand than Nvidia's crippled chip versions. 2. No proof of AI chip shortage negative impact on China Tech. I see competitive offerings ranging from ChatGPT-like services by $BIDU $BABA $TCHEY or Self-Driving cars by Huawei $BIDU $NIO $XPEV as well as many other startups and AI apps that don't have to hide behind US benchmarks. 3. We saw Stanford scientists copy a Tsinghua LLM code that featured lower training cost, because China optimises models for cost efficiency, given the ban on more potent Nvidia hardware. 4. And finally, the real truth that the article fails to mention: Nvidia could have sold many more AI chips in China and stayed competitive, if there were no US sanctions. It would also have made China tech more reliant on American hardware and software and for America to profit off of China's AI development. But lawmakers did not think this far.

🚨🇨🇳 China just found a smart way for stimulating the economy and helping consumers! While we in the West pay more and more for rent, mortgages and house prices each year, China enjoys the opposite: Falling home prices and now the opportunity to adjust EXISTING (higher) mortgage rates for lower rates. This must be great for family foundation, consumption and quality of life as by the end of the day the disposable income gets bigger. Finally, this move is in line with everything they said before: Grow the Middle Class from 400M to 800M and make housing for living, instead an asset for (speculative) investing of a few. $HSI $BABA $KWEB $NIO $JD $PGJ

As a European, I have no problem with forced tech transfers if Chinese invest - exactly what China made us do, too. Just shows they got the IP now. I do have a problem with European companies disowning Chinese parent companies, based on US policies though, which just happened and why Chinese investors should stay away from Europe as basically any asset can be confiscated just because of the US. Loser: Europe.

It is clear the bridge has been burnt. Everything that will be done by the US will countered by China. The question is how much damage the US want to deal to themselves until they stop. For now seems Trump wants to play the anger escalation game. The fact is China holds all the cards and they will not move a bit. Every move will be countered. The earlier Trump finally understands this, the less the US will suffer from this escalation. The divorce is done. 👍 $QQQ

The more we in the West push false narratives about China Tech, the less credibility we have as an opinion worth hearing, and the more the Chinese will turn internal and make fun of our false bias. This is why I keep fighting for the REAL story. I am not promoting China, just telling it as it is - which already is a stark contrast to the public image. But again: It doesn’t help, in fact it hurts the West, to keep producing false narratives. Stop it, rather think of how to benefit from China’s tech advance!
