Automatic Garage Doors, Lawnmowers, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Basic Guided Missiles, Automatic Sprinklers, Electronic Display Counters, Counting Machines... Chips ≠ 3 nm Image
Chips between 3–14 nm are used in less than 10% Applications globally albeit very important applications that make a truckload of profits. Image
Almost 90% Applications in the world use Larger Chips that are almost exclusively made in China & use entirely indigenous Chinese processes or machinery. Image

In China, if you want to express your approval of what someone says, please don't use this Emoji - 🙂, it often implies boredom, sarcasm, or passive-aggressiveness.
You can use 😂, or 😁.
(Comes from today's experience of communicating with a foreign colleague of mine.)
BTW in Chinese internet slang, 666 is shorthand for "awesome" or "great job" - NOT a reference to something evil.
It comes from "溜溜溜" (liù liù liù), which sounds like "666" and means "smooth" or "cool." Image
The Emoji shows a person eating watermelon turns out the watermelon is a visual pun in Chinese.
"melon" (瓜, guā) sounds similar to "gossip" (八卦, bāguà) - "just here for the drama" - no judgment, just happily spectating the unfolding chaos👉Michael Jackson eating popcorn meme. Image

US automotive design expert: Harvard and McKinsey told me to go to China, so I did, and now they're calling me a traitor? No one even listens to my classes in the US, but in China, I have 2,500 people in one class who are eager to hear what I have to say.

"Many people have been kidnapped by populism and politicians. Free competition is the most beneficial to consumers and industry. The States has our advantages, and China has their own advantages... in order to win votes, they start to shape an enemy that does not exist"

"Tariffs and propaganda can only hide us from reality so long. American, Japanese and European car and energy companies can be protected but will lose their export markets and then go bust anyway if they lock into the past."

According to the memories of workers who participated in the construction of the China-Laos Railway, this project was the most dangerous project they had ever experienced: a large amount of UXO from US carpet bombing during the Vietnam War, which Laos was embroiled in.😱 Image
Within nine years, 270 million bombs in total weighing two million tonnes were dropped on Laos, equalling eight bombs per minute on average. The total number of bombs is more than that dropped during World War II. Image
When then US President Barack Obama visited Laos in 2016, he promised an additional $90 million for clearing the unexploded bombs, but did not apologise for the bombing. Image
