I am totally out of touch in China domestic CPU/GPU scene. Maybe the business model of nVidia would give you some reference ideas. A premium niche GPU player with a growing and sufficient consumer and commercial TAM. HALO products such as top rated graphics cards for gamers. A general purpose software library on top of a high-performance proprietary hardware platform. Use cases, use cases and use cases. GPU margins are great. GPGPU margins are awesome. AI margins are crazy.And since we are here on Sino Defence Forum, which Chinese competitors should we be watching out for? If not for investment, at least for the rah-rah'ing![]()
I dont see anything wrong unless you nitpicking anything related to Gulf Arabs. They have right to publish any views so every one is informed. Since China is largest trade partner of both NK and Russia than it is reasonable for these people to assume that China can stop an arms deal. in fact Gulf Arabs will be losing more money due to this Ukraine conflict if there expensive investments in Western Europe becomes illiquid so they should be complaining more. Russia is well compensated in monetary terms. it just need to keep its local casualty minimum. It is outperforming based on Arabic standards.Check out this BS! When did Al Jazerra become Al Anglo-Zionista?
China is Kim and Putin’s biggest trade partner and most powerful political patron, and has influence that could prevent North Korean munitions being used in Ukraine

A strong message from Ukraine to Turkey: 'You were humiliated in the Black Sea'
Your loss of agency, the humiliation you faced in the waters of the Black Sea—where you hold the stature of a formidable nation, I refer to the Republic of Turkey—followed by your overtures in Sochi to request an extension of the grain deal... This annuls numerous facets of your reputation. This kind of behavior is unsustainable," Podolyak articulated.
Podolyak questioned, "What connection does Russia have to this? Why do you consistently subject yourself to humiliation before Russia? You can't intermittently approach and assert 'We intend to strike an accord with Putin on some matter.' What is it that you wish to negotiate with Putin? Are you striving to find common ground with an individual who has demeaned you, just to avoid further humiliation?" he added.
Assuming there is truth in the conviction and it's not just a political arrest, they should still clarify to the people that the memorial against the crimes of nazis should be suitably replaced by another memorial with the equivalent meaning.LOL @ the "additional context" trying to whitewash the act. Since when do we tear down monuments because their creator was convicted of something?
"Big Brother" Xi meets Maduro.
China and Venezuela are now 全天候战略伙伴关系 (all-weather strategic partnership). Will China finally get a naval base in Uncle Sam's backyard now?
The thing is this is good, because as of the moment, there's is indeed not many people in China that want to mobilize and bash in Americans, but because of US aggressive rhetoric, there will be more.This is Nazi Germany/Goebbels/Goering level of gaslighting: you want to fight a war against China? Just accuse China wants to start a war against you, then repeat it again and again through the echo chambers of Western MSM.

KABUL, Sept 13 (Reuters) - China became the first country on Wednesday to formally name a new ambassador to Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, after its envoy presented credentials at a ceremony in Kabul.
The Taliban have not been officially recognised by any foreign government, and Beijing did not indicate whether Wednesday's appointment signalled any wider steps towards formal recognition of the Taliban.
"This is the normal rotation of China's ambassador to Afghanistan, and is intended to continue advancing dialogue and cooperation between China and Afghanistan," China's foreign ministry said in a statement. "China's policy towards Afghanistan is clear and consistent."
A Taliban administration foreign ministry spokesman told Reuters new envoy Zhao Xing was the first ambassador from any country to take up the post since August 2021, when the Taliban took over as U.S.-led foreign forces withdrew after 20 years.
Yet while Mr. Schumer has pursued a hard line with China, he has been more circumspect than other congressional leaders when it comes to diplomatic gestures, avoiding the sort of engagements with Taiwan that have inflamed relations with Beijing.
In the past two years, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California, and his predecessor Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, have arranged visits with President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, with Ms. Pelosi traveling to Taiwan and Mr. McCarthy hosting Ms. Tsai at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Mr. Schumer has not visited Taiwan as majority leader and did not meet with Ms. Tsai during her tour of the United States earlier this year.
Earlier this month, Mr. Schumer also dismissed the suggestion that Congress might follow the example of the British Parliament and begin recognizing Taiwan as an independent country, telling reporters, “The present situation is where we should stay.”
Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer. This is a western concept. I think, even taking considerations of worse case scenarios, meeting and talking is always better than no-contact. And here is the kicker, for today's China, showing-off is also a form of deterrence. You don't hide your strengths.This is interesting:
I was wondering why China would agree to a Schumer visit. Looks like it's probably because he's made an effort to avoid Taiwan-related provocations.
