Here? If so, apologies as I didn't see it.

Elsewhere? Great minds...

This reminds me of the time China stole gene-altering technology, but didn't steal the "keep viruses from escaping our labs" technology.

They got some back. But DeepSeek wasn't 100% a cheat. There were some real efficiencies in what they did that impact the perceived need/demand for NVDA's chips.

A few years back there was a string of really weird ship collisions, boats were hitting each other in ports, coming and going. There was speculation that China was hacking navigation GPS and seeing how much damage they could do, if they wanted.

In the last week, after years of relatively safe flying, we've had 3 plane crashes.

Supposedly this is Chinese propaganda showcasing the U.S. if manufacturing jobs return. I'm skeptical of source and purpose, but I did laugh at how they portray us. Wall-E is looking more like a documentary every day.

Of course that's a joke to China. To them that's work for children under 8.

I absolutely abhor Kevin O'Leary and you can debate what he says about the tariffs specific to them, but fuck it's good to hear someone saying these FACTS about China.
