Nvidia isn’t back in China. It’s selling crippled chips while lying to investors. Here’s the real story.👇

Nvidia Is Back on Track in China. Here's What You Need to Know. | The Motley Fool share.google/igYSiJ3NOpjR8y…
Nvidia’s so-called return to China is a Wall Street fantasy. The H20 is not a breakthrough. It’s a handicapped chip stripped of performance to barely comply with U.S. export rules. China bought it because it was convenient, not because they need Nvidia. (1/9)
CUDA, Nvidia’s secret sauce, is now banned across Chinese government projects. No datacenters, no AI training, no critical systems. Without CUDA, Nvidia’s GPUs are paperweights in China’s AI future. (2/9)
China has already built alternatives. Huawei’s CANN stack. Alibaba’s in-house toolkits. OpenCL and homegrown frameworks. CUDA isn’t the future in China. It’s a legacy liability. (3/9)
The H20 is a junk chip. It has downgraded memory, crippled interconnects, and reduced compute. Selling it as a viable AI solution is a bait-and-switch. No one serious is training frontier models on that. (4/9)
Jensen Huang knows the truth. But instead of leveling with investors, he flew to Washington, then Beijing, to salvage face and protect stock momentum. Nvidia’s market cap is held up by hopium. (5/9)
Bloomberg, CNBC, and Motley Fool ran with the fiction. They cheered “Nvidia wins China back” without mentioning that CUDA is banned or that China is phasing Nvidia out at every level. (6/9)
The Chinese aren’t just rejecting chips. They’re replacing the entire stack. Domestic GPUs. Native software. Proprietary compilers. Nvidia is being quietly erased from relevance in the world's largest AI growth market. (7/9)
What we’re watching isn’t competition. It’s decay. America once led through engineering. Now we lie through marketing, sell crippled hardware, and beg for export loopholes to stay afloat. (8/9)
This isn’t a comeback. It’s a con. Nvidia’s China play is a short-term distraction masking a long-term retreat. And the real fools are the ones still buying the narrative. (9/9)

China just built a heat shield that eats 3,600°C. This changes hypersonics forever. Here's how.

“They Flew Through Hellfire”: China’s New Heat Shield Shatters Thermal Limits, Unlocking Next-Level Hypersonic Speeds - Rude Baguette share.google/2z9iw9E7iItxCa…
China just flew through hellfire and walked away clean.

They’ve built a new heat shield ceramic that survives 3,600°C in oxidizing air. Not a prototype. Not a research teaser. This was lab-validated and stress-tested. It resets the ceiling on hypersonic speed. (1/13)
This isn't a better version of what the West has. It’s a new class of material. High-entropy carbide ceramics. Built to survive the temperatures that would vaporize anything flying for the Pentagon today. (2/13)

While the US dreams of next-gen jets, China builds spaceplanes and drone swarms. We fell behind while contractors got rich.

The YF-23 'Stealth Fighter' Summed Up in 4 Words - National Security Journal share.google/tr6fmjruDMSCR3…
The US still brags about the YF-22 beating the YF-23 in a Cold War flyoff. China quietly fielded a reusable spaceplane. We're fighting the last war. They're building the next one.

Exhibit Q: Legacy MIC vs Orbital-Warfare China

China is not trying to win the 5th-gen fighter race. It already won that years ago. The J-20 is flying in squadrons. Its drone wingmen are stealthier than anything we’ve built. And they’re already looking past this entire genre. (2/15)

Nvidia's back in China? Too late. The empire's already collapsed and China built a new one without them.

Trump’s U-Turn on Nvidia Spurs Talk of Grand Bargain With China - Bloomberg share.google/tZnHlvtgNVGQoI…
Trump just handed Nvidia a lifeline in China. Problem is, there’s nothing left to save. China’s AI firms moved on. They’re not coming back.

The U.S. still thinks it can starve China of chips and force it to crawl back. But sanctions exposed American tech as leaky, insecure, and weaponized.

China didn’t ban Bitcoin because it feared freedom. It banned it because it saw the scam. The U.S. kept it alive to distract you while the real economy rots.

‘Imminent’ Fed Nightmare Is Suddenly Coming True As The Bitcoin Price Soars share.google/mSQO716tE0wptA…
No one wants to say it, but here it is. China banned Bitcoin because it saw the truth. It’s not revolutionary tech. It’s a glorified Ponzi. Dressed up in math. Backed by nothing. (1/14)
Bitcoin produces nothing. It yields nothing. It exists only to be sold to a bigger sucker. That’s not sound money. That’s financial nihilism with a blockchain wrapper. (2/14)

They told you HarmonyOS is just Android in disguise. That lie worked in 2020. It doesn’t fly in 2025. Here’s why Huawei’s OS has the West spooked.

medium.com/snapp-mobile/d…
The smear that HarmonyOS is just a rebranded Android is dead. But like most Western tech narratives, it keeps getting propped up to protect fragile egos. Time to bury it properly. 🧵
Huawei reused Android early on. Why? Because the U.S. government tried to suffocate it overnight. Using AOSP to maintain developer continuity wasn’t cowardice. It was tactical triage. (1/10)

China is building fusion reactors like it's stacking Legos. Meanwhile, the U.S. hands billion-dollar science to startups chasing hype. Here's how we lost the plot.

China’s mega-laser hits new record — Fusion breakthrough could flip the energy game share.google/vzEHUWz2myAc56…
Once upon a time, America had national labs. Manhattan Project. NASA. DARPA. Big Science run by serious men. Now we have VC-funded fusion startups begging for Series C. (1/8)
We traded Oppenheimer for Andreessen. Traded Oak Ridge for Y Combinator. The cathedral of American science was gutted by neoliberalism. What’s left are pitch decks with no power plants. (2/8)
