I discussed that embodied AI, vertical AI applications across industries, and mass adoption of low-cost AI are the main trends coming out of China in the coming 2 or 3 years.

Part 2 of three
In earlier section, I discussed that embodied AI, i.e. robots and humanoid, will be among the next big AI moves out of China. I believe another major trend will be application of AI technologies in vertical industries that have yet to be affected by the horizontal foundational LLMs, let alone experiencing broad adoption of AI...

Part one of three
The ripple effects of DeepSeek’s launch of its V3 and R1 models in late January is still being felt. Compared with the expensively developed LLMs from OpenAI, Meta, and Google, DeepSeek is cost efficient, high performance, and open source. Other tech giants and AI startups in China have also rolled out additional LLM and reasoning... Read More

The perfect case study how the west underestimates China at its own peril

And how such confused perception of realities will eventually lead it to a disastrous confrontation with China. As discredited frauds like Gordan Chang and Peter Zaihan continue to have an eager audience in the west, a vicious cycle of self-delusion and disinformation... Read More

A follow up to "the US is reeking the smell of fear"
I recently published a short opinion piece titled “the US is reeking the smell of fear” on Substack and Unz Review. I received many comments and feedback. Most comments are positive and many readers shared thoughtful observations. Predictably, some trolls, loonies and racist crazies climb out from under the rock and started to make the... Read More

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has sent a shockwave through the US tech industry and Wall Street in the last week. Its LLM R1, trained under $6 million and 2 months, has outperformed the latest offerings from OpenAI, Meta, Google and Microsoft, who have spent tens of billions and years on their models. The DeepSeek... Read More
There is an arms race going on among the major powers to develop hypersonic missile technology (missiles flying above Mach 5 speed – 6,400 kilometres per hour). Russia’s recent test use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile in Ukraine was observed with awe. The US has also tested its first hypersonic missile - the Dark Eagle,... Read More
