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 has stopped buying U.S. debt. The dollar system is cracking. This isn’t just an economic shift. It’s the end of the old world order. Here's what comes next.
ft.com/content/894c1c…
China runs a trade surplus. It used to park the proceeds in U.S. debt. That era is over. Beijing is done buying IOUs from an empire in decline. Time to build empires of its own. (1/12)
First stop: real assets. China is stockpiling copper, lithium, cobalt, oil, soybeans. These don’t yield 3 percent. But they can’t be frozen, devalued, or sanctioned. They store power, not promises. (2/12)

China just ended the Silicon Age. CMOS is dead. And the West still doesn’t know it. (1/13)

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The world was busy tracking Nvidia’s market cap. Meanwhile, Chinese scientists quietly created a stoichiometrically perfect InSe wafer. The implications are fatal for ASML, TSMC, and everything downstream. (2/13)
Let’s break it down. CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor. It is the foundational logic of every modern chip built on silicon. Faster chips meant smaller nodes. That’s what gave ASML a monopoly over EUV lithography. (3/13)

On July 19, 2025, China killed the silicon wafer. And with it, ASML’s monopoly, TSMC’s moat, and every American chip sanction. You just didn’t hear the explosion. Time to break it down. (1/21)

Part I: The Atomic Truth

Most people think the chip war is about geopolitics. It’s not. It’s about atomic ratios. And China just mastered a law of nature the West still struggles to pronounce: stoichiometry. (2/21)
Stoichiometry is the a priori rulebook for matter. Not a lab trick. Not engineering. It’s the logic atoms obey when forming compounds. You get the ratios right or the structure collapses. Period. (3/21)

Huawei and Xiaomi just did what Washington swore was impossible. Sanctions failed. China’s tech empire is real. The panic has begun.

What the U.S. Feared Is Coming True: Huawei and Xiaomi Push China’s Chip Empire Beyond Fantasy, Defying All Sanctions share.google/cMsTQ3MUSGXET3…
Huawei is not just a phone company. It’s a 5G hegemon, a semiconductor survivor, a full-stack AI hardware firm, and China’s answer to Cisco, Ericsson, and Nvidia combined. (1/12)
Xiaomi is not just a phone brand. It’s China’s national electronics platform. Smartphones, smart homes, scooters, EVs, solar panels, AIoT chips. If it runs on electricity, Xiaomi either builds it or runs it. (2/12)

One delivers noodles in Shanghai. The other delivers tacos in NYC. Only one has healthcare, a pension, and legal rights. Guess which.

In China, the average Meituan or food courier earns between 8,000 to 12,000 yuan a month. That’s $1,100 to $1,650 USD. (1/13)Ele.me
In New York City, a full-time delivery worker on DoorDash or Uber Eats might make $2,400 to $3,200 a month before taxes, bike costs, and platform fees. (2/13)

China just froze Ford’s $3B EV battery plant. The reason? Payback. You can’t strangle China’s tech and expect it to hand you the keys to the green future

China Throws Giant Wrench Into Ford EV Battery Plant Plans share.google/8lRt1iTjqlJiGV…
China just threw a wrench into Ford’s $3 billion EV battery plant. And Washington’s confused. Why would Beijing dare mess with a Made-in-America project? Maybe because we’ve been acting like colonial looters in a tech bazaar. Thread 🧵(1/12)
Ford’s LFP battery factory in Michigan is powered by CATL’s tech. That’s Chinese lithium-iron phosphate chemistry, the stuff that keeps EV costs down and safety up. Without it, Ford’s whole EV play collapses into a taxpayer-funded PR stunt. (2/12)
