It will never get old!
Completely out of touch with reality.
It doesn't matter at this point. Judging from the semiconductor thread, China is determined to have their own local chips and ecosystem. They already put so much money and the guys have already put so much effort into achieve their dreams.
Just accepting these chips like that is basically abandoning your dream and giving up everything you worked for. At most this will only be a temporary thing.
Just doing what he is paid to do.
Besides being an MP he works for Anthropic as a consultant. Anthropic CEO is strongly against selling any AI chips to China. They also banned Chinese users from their platforms a while ago.

With enemies like these, who need friends
Should be made permanent. Japan is a country that has committed war crimes against the Chinese people. Why the fuck do some Chinese people want to give them their money?
Because unfortunantly traitors exist.
Some random thoughts on Sunday:
Japan is doing a great favor to China by explaining to the world what China winning by lying flat means. Japan has successfully shifted the narratives of "Taiwan issue" to the narratives of "Post WWII Order".
As year 2025 has demonstrated, China has the capability and capacity of liberating Taiwan whenever it determines to do so. But as a civilization of historical continuity, libration by military means would inevitably incite "Chinese killing Chinese" in the history of the Chinese nation. Therefore, the central consideration is how Chinese history would write about PRC and Xi first and foremost. Japan hands China an opportunity to put liberation in the context of maintaining the post WWII global order.
And the timing cannot be better. For the first time since 1644, China has regained enough economic and military strengths to take actions. What Japan is doing is, in a smaller scale, what Europe did in 2 world wars by handing the world to the US. From this point on, it is very hard to the world in general and the west in particular to re-write the history of the WWII. As a result, Taiwan issue is no longer just residual of the Chinese civil war. It is put the context of colonialism and imperialism that led to the 2 world wars and the United Nation.
As China is moving 100+ naval ships around the western Pacific as a response to the recent Japanese provocation, the silence is deafening in the world in general and in the west in particular. It is no longer an easy undertaking for the west to propagate the "China threat" in the western Pacific.
As it turns out, 2025 is not only the year of AI, but also the year of China stepping out of the first island chain. The logic is near perfect: if China could resolve the Japan issue, the Taiwan issue would naturally resolve by itself. With that, the Chinese public should send a huge thank-you note to the current Japanese administration. And that is yet another textbook study case in how not to elect dump politicians.
