The fact is the US set themselves up for this when they thought they could decouple and treat China like it didn't exist. Well here you have the US wall off China from AI so by their logic DeepSeek shouldn't play any factor... but it did. Look at all theirs lies about how because they sanctioned China from getting important AI technology, the US will always be miles ahead of China and that was very recent boasting. And they point to how DeepSeek censored Tiananmen Square... Look at what all the US's lies have done to them. China just existing is a threat to them and this demonstrates it. DeepSeek is a counter to their narrative on AI just like China is an alternative to them for the world. The only way they can stop it is risking destroying themselves in the process. To think otherwise is the reason why they set themselves up in the first place.
What is ZeroHedge calling for 100% tariff on DeepSeek for? How do you tariff something that's free? So how about a trillion percent tariff...? Maybe they think like Trump where the tariff is paid by China. What's a trillion per cent tariff for something that's free? And these are stock/finance guys...? It is one of the greatest scams in history and they're never going to admit to it because they're the good guys. They wanted to trick the world on how much it will cost so people just throw money at them and it was foiled by China. So what if DeepSeek actually cost more. It's free to anyone. It's like how the West cries about subsidies. That money used to subsidize comes from somewhere. It's not free money. The costs just come from somewhere else. It's actually what you make from AI where the real money is suppose to come from. It's like the 2008 subprime crisis. They created a scheme from nothing just so to make money. There was nothing real behind it but they had to trick people into falling for it because that's the only way to make money. And bitcoin is the same way and the West is big on that too.
Never listen to anyone who bets against China.
