China makes more Chips than the rest of the world when it comes to any Chip that is 45 nm Or larger.
Automatic Garage Doors, Lawnmowers, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Basic Guided Missiles, Automatic Sprinklers, Electronic Display Counters, Counting Machines... Chips ≠ 3 nm
Chips between 3–14 nm are used in less than 10% Applications globally albeit very important applications that make a truckload of profits.
Almost 90% Applications in the world use Larger Chips that are almost exclusively made in China & use entirely indigenous Chinese processes or machinery.
Since 2016, Chinese firms have more than doubled their foreign sales, and much of that growth is happening in the Global South.
Chinese companies are making significant investments through "greenfield FDI," building brand-new factories and facilities from scratch.
Professor John Mearsheimer once remarked, "We foolishly pushed the Russians into the arms of the Chinese."
Now, as Trump threatens tariffs on Chinese products, the US risks pushing China even closer to these Global South emerging markets.
If you've heard of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), you know it's a massive undertaking.
Over the last decade, China has invested more than $1 trillion in infrastructure - roads, railways, and power networks - across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
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."
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.
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."

"'small yard, high fences' is not what a major country should pursue; only openness and sharing can advance the well-being of humanity."
Xi meets Biden in Lima.

"As two major countries, China and the United States should bear in mind the interests of the whole world, and inject more certainty and positive energy into the turbulent world."
Xi told Biden.
Xi noted the recent U.S. election, and stressed that China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged.
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.😱
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.
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.
