That will take many more years, but they are on the right track at least .

Is he not similar to manus founders for the US(could be seen as a traitor as well)? Lool
Song Yuhang, one of the co-founders of the British AI chip startup Fractile, has officially left the company and headed back to China.
While he was doing his PhD at Oxford, Song picked up the J.P. Morgan AI Research Award for his work on chip architectures that mimic how the human brain learns. His tech was basically the backbone of Fractile, helping them land 24 million dollars in funding from big names like the NATO Innovation Fund.
But things got messy when his background at Beihang University started raising eyebrows. Beihang is one of China’s "Seven Sons of National Defence," a group of universities with heavy ties to the military. Having an alumnus from there as CTO of a NATO-backed firm was eventually flagged as a major national security risk.
Song left the startup in May 2024 and is now back in China. He’s currently an associate professor at Nanjing University’s School of Artificial Intelligence, where he’s already started his own lab called Atom of Learning.

济南热电集团华山's 2x75MW combined cycle project saw first G50 achieving initial ignition & entering hot commissioning phase. Consists of 2 50MW gas turbine + 2 25MW steam turbines = auxiliary equipment. Project expects to generate 620 GWh of electricity per year.
Racism is expensive.
Do you even understand what "driven out" means? Nobody drove the Manus founder, and his company, out of China. In fact, he and the company c-suite deliberately tried to evade the Chinese government regulations by moving the company out of the country.
If Manus had stayed in China and thrived, the company c-suite would have become frequent guests of the local governments. Officials in Chinese governments love to have their ears to hear from the local businessmen.
If you throw someone in jail, then you don't get to complain about them betraying you after the fact.
Let’s step back and assume that yes, Song Yuhang and other Chinese researchers are benefiting Chinese research because they got Chinese funding. Heck, let’s assume that they are full fledged Chinese spies? Does that change the fact that they are producing world class research that ultimately benefit the U.S. even more? Can’t understand why they are persecuted when functionally retarded decision makers who engage in open corruption and are running the country into the ground are not. Only explanation is racism.
I find this very interesting. Every ad I see on Weibo are from Saudi aramco. It’s like they are funding the Chinese tech sector in a way now.
Their 5 axis CNC will down with their car industry together.
