Zelo preprost odgovor na to vprašanje je: Ker so KItajci naredili odprtokodni sistem za razvoj UI in ker so bolj odprti do aplikacij UI, zato bodo te aplikacije bolj široko vpeljali in uporabili. Arnaud Bertrand je bil v spodnjem komentarju članka v Financial Timesu glede tega zelo plastičen: iznajdba parnega stroja sama po sebi ni bila nič posebnega, kar jo je naredilo pomembno, je aplikacija parnega stroja v industriji in transportu, kar je povzročilo industrijsko revolucijo in omogočilo Britaniji, da se je gospodarsko izjemno razvila in pridobila prednost pred vsemi ostalimi.

This is rare enough to be highlighted: an actually good Financial Times article on the state of the AI “race” between the U.S. and China.

Three interesting points that stood out to me:

1) The fact that “for a general-purpose technology such as AI, long-term advantage often comes down to how widely and deeply technologies spread across society.”

This is because, at the risk of pointing the obvious, benefits from a new technology come from using it widely, not just creating it. You wouldn’t get any benefit from discovering the steam engine in and of itself: what drove productivity gains (and ultimately Britain’s advantage in the industrial revolution) was spreading and using this technology in its society.

And China has advantages here, as the article notes, since they’re unarguably better at orchestrating society-wide transformation, as that’s all they’ve been doing for the past 3 decades.

Ob nedavni zaostritvi in posledični (začasni?) omejitvi trgovinske vojne se je boleče razgrnilo vprašanje varnosti reprodukcijskih verig, še posebej v primeru redkih zemelj.

»Neznosna lahkotnost«, s katero se je ves Zahod ujel v past, je več kot presenetljiva, še posebej, če upoštevamo, da se je podoben incident zgodil leta 2010 ob kitajsko-japonskem incidentu ob otokih Senkaku oz. Diaoyu (po Kitajsko). Ko je Japonska zavrnila Kitajsko zahtevo o izpustitvi kitajske ladje, ki je po japonskem mnenju kršila japonsko suverenost nad otoki (za katere Kitajska trdi, da so njeno zgodovinsko ozemlje), je Kitajska uvedla embargo na izvoz redkih zemelj na Japonsko. Japonska je dobesedno kapitulirala v enem dnevu. Zakaj? Ker bi se praktično v trenutku ustavila vsa japonska elektronska industrija.

Ne bi se spuščal v upravičenost zahtevkov glede otokov Senkaku oz. Diaoyu (čeprav gre za zelo zanimivo zgodovinsko temo), lahko omenimo samo, da bi moralo biti že tedaj in tudi največjim idiotom jasno, da se s strateško neodvisnostjo kritičnih surovin in tehnologij ne gre igrati. Da je ni cene, ki bi razumnim ljudem preprečila vzpostavitev suverenosti nad tem kritičnim področjem.

Germany used to produce 31% of their electricity from nuclear power back in 1997. There was zero reason to shut them down, just leftist ideology.

Now Germany’s electricity rates are 3x higher than the USA, factories are closing and moving to China, the USA and other countries.

The jobs are moving to countries with cheaper energy and less regulations. Germany’s economy is collapsing as the high paying jobs move countries with rational policies.

Lousy policy has consequences.

How the US spent tens of millions of dollars to trick the world into believing that the Chinese had genocided an entire minority group.

But they couldn’t find a single victim. 

The story of the rise and fall of the Uyghur Genocide Hoax is a stunning example of the power of Langley and Washington DC in global brainwashing.

Full details in the video, but some key points are below.

1.) The idea of fighting Islamist terrorism by creating tough re-education camps to instill patriotism came from France, NOT from China.

China’s de-radicalization program was different, focused on vocational training, education in the arts, and language courses.

2.) The stunning plan from the CIA-adjacent group known as the NED was to rebrand China’s vocational program as a series of “mass killings” and “atrocities” amounting to “genocide”.

The plotters met at a June 2019 conference in Washington, where NED leader Carl Gershman said the goal was to leave China “on the ash heap of history”, adding: “I believe that will happen.”

Hinton, the godfather of AI, said it best: we built the learning algorithms, but we no longer understand what they’ve built.

That’s the paradox of deep learning. We designed the rules for how these systems learn, yet the internal logic of their neural networks has become too complex for us to fully grasp. Millions or even trillions of parameters interact in ways no human can trace.

We can observe what they do, we can measure accuracy, behavior, and output but not truly explain why they do it. Their reasoning isn’t transparent; it’s emergent.

In a sense, we’ve created alien intelligences born from our math, still tethered to our code yet evolving patterns we can’t decode. The machines are doing something beyond our comprehension and that might be both the most exciting and the most unsettling thing about the age of AI.

“Bernard, what is the purpose of our defence policy?”
“To defend Britain.”
“No, Bernard. It is to make people believe that Britain is defended.”
“The Russians?”
“Not the Russians, the British! The Russians know it’s not”

Nevarno je biti nasprotnik Amerike, usodno je biti njen zaveznik (H. Kissinger).

Prav to je zadnji mesec izkusila Nizozemska na primeru Nexperie. Pod ameriškim pritiskom je uvedla prisilno upravo nad kitajskim matičnim podjetjem Nexperia (de facto prevzela kontrolo nad podjetjem). Nakar je Kitajska uvedla povračilni ukrep in prepovedala izvoz komponent iz Nexperiine kitajske hčerinske družbe matičnemu podjetju v Nizozemski (70 % vseh dobav Nexperie). Kitajsko hčerinsko podjetje je začelo samo oskrbovati stranke s svojimi čipi in poslalo ponudbo vsem odjemalcem, da v izogib prekinitvi dobav sklenejo pogodbo s kitajsko hčerinsko družbo in da plačujeo v juanih. Nakar je Donald the TACO Trump prejšnji teden pristal na vse kitajske zahteve, tudi na suspenz “BIS 50%” pravila, ki je bilo osnova za ukrep nizozemske vlade. Bela hiša je v sporočilu javnosti glede dosežkov trgovinskega dogovora med ZDA in Kitajsko zapisala “Kitajska bo sprejela ustrezne ukrepe, da zagotovi ponovno vzpostavitev trgovine iz Nexperiinih obratov na Kitajskem“. Torej Trump se je dogovoril s Kitajsko o odpravi ukrepa in pustil na čistini nizozemsko vlado, ki še vztraja pri ukrepu. Najverjetnejša posledica bo zaprtje nizozemske matične družbe in prenos proizvodnje čipov v Kitajsko. Nizozemska bo izgubila okrog  2 milijardi evrov letnega prometa iz tega naslova. Hkrati pa postala tvegana država za tuji kapital.

Usodno je biti vazalna država Amerike.

I suspect David is right here 👇 And if so it’d be the most ironic possible resolution for the Nexperia debacle.

What the White House factsheet (https://whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/11/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-strikes-deal-on-economic-and-trade-relations-with-china/ ) says about Nexperia is: “China will take appropriate measures to ensure the resumption of trade from Nexperia’s facilities in China, allowing production of critical legacy chips to flow to the rest of the world.”

Not a word about the Netherlands or Europe, it says trade will resume FROM CHINA.

So it’s entirely possible, even likely, that the deal is that Nexperia China, which effectively split from Nexperia Netherlands after the Dutch seized the company, will become the main contracting party.

Meaning the deal would effectively hand China full operational control of Nexperia’s operations while leaving Europe with a hollowed-out shell company.

To ni preobrat. To je učbeniška poteza “Teza, Antiteza, Sinteza”, ki je pravkar spremenila celotno razpravo.

Bill Gates, veliki svečenik globalističnega, tehnokratskega konsenza, je pravkar zlomil svojo lastno cerkev. Njegov novi memorandum, s šokantnimi izjavami, da podnebne spremembe “ne bodo končale civilizacije” in da bi “dopustil, da se temperatura dvigne za 0,1 stopinje, da bi se znebil malarije,” ni preprosta menjava stališč. Je nekaj veliko močnejšega. Pravkar je končal podnebno vojno, kot jo poznamo, z ustvarjanjem nove, pragmatične in neverjetno močne srednje poti.

Od neposrednega provociranja Kitajske glede zavzetja Tajvana je ameriška administracija kvazi prešla na partnerski odnos s Kitajsko tudi na vojaški ravni. Seveda gre zgolj za spremembo retorike, saj ZDA Kitajsko še vedno vidijo kot edinega tekmeca, ki lahko Ameriko zamenja glede globalne dominacije in v tem okviru strateškega sovražnika v Aziji glede statusa Tajvana (ki je ameriška tovarna čipov) in Južnokitajskega morja kot glavne plovne poti med Azijo in Evropo. Toda ko so v Trumpovi administraciji ugotovili, da Kitajske ne morejo trgovinsko premagati (da jih Kitajska strateško drži za vitalni organ pri redkih zemljah) in ko so ugotovili, da bi Kitajska zmagala v vojni okrog Tajvana (ker so ameriške letalonosilke neuporabne v času v sodobnih vojaških tehnologij), je pač pragmatično spremenila retoriko. Volk dlako menja, nravi pa nikoli.

It is absolutely incredible to see this dramatic pivot from Trump and his closest staff members on China!

They have made a complete 180 degree pivot from their hawkish China tweets and threats and have realized the US has no other option BUT to work with China.

For years we’ve heard this endless propaganda that “China is the biggest threat to the US” but almost overnight, media outlets like Bloomberg, the Atlantic, Financial Times are all publishing positive stories on China.

Trump and his cabinet are now saying it is a G2 world! This means end of unipolarity and welcome to a world where the US and China are equals, the two biggest superpowers in the world.

This is fantastic! For years I’ve promoted a closer US China relationship and fought against the aggressive anti-China hawks like @TomCottonAR and @Jkylebass and countless others who promote war and have such a shallow analysis and understanding of China.

The only future for our world is one where the US and China work together for the future of mankind. I’m so happy to see this pivot and Trump and his team make this turnaround! Huge win for the world.
