He says that this could allow you to hold a device in a palm of your hand that has more computing power than all the computers in the world today combined. Does China have anyone working on something like this?

Did he stop offshoring jobs to India after firing senior employees for bogus performance reasons yet?

Flee to China. A lot of Ukrainians are doing it.

Really what evidence is there for that one, I am curious as to how true this is

No joke intended but seriously how in the crazy hell is that even possible. Now I am truly convinced that someone from up above is truly trying to wreck the hell out of the USA. I mean no where else does all these disasters come out all at once and literally focus itself in a way that continually blast that nation with literal bad news and literal chaos every single week since Trump come in. Who ever said that the almighty saved him from death to put him there to save America. I believe he was put their to ensure its demise given how eagerly he is stuffing everything up

It's actually 8% cut every year for five years.
Are we approaching the "Gorbachev pulling out Group of Soviet Forces in Germany" moment?

Exclusive | US to axe China-based diplomats to cut size of mission by 10%: sources​

The ‘substantial’ cuts are expected to affect both US and local employees and are part of Trump’s drive to overhaul the corps worldwide​

The United States is set to cut the size of its diplomatic mission in China by up to 10 per cent, according to people familiar with the situation.

US diplomats working in mainland China and Hong Kong as well as local employees might be given notice as early as Friday in an unprecedented round of downsizing, the Post has learned.

Two sources with knowledge of the matter said the cuts would affect the embassy in Beijing and consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang and Wuhan, as well as the consulate in Hong Kong. Both sources requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

It was not clear whether any of those affected would be reassigned elsewhere in the diplomatic service, but lay-offs are expected.

Describing the downsizing as “substantial”, one source said it was probably the first major downsizing of the US diplomatic team in China since the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic in 1979.

A second source said the State Department’s instruction to downsize came last week. He added that affected employees may be contacted by the end of the week to be told the details of their severance package and last day of work.

They said the downsizing was part of the

Separately, 60 contractors at the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour have been terminated in recent weeks with further cuts threatened in other bureaus, according to US media reports.

The move comes amid drastic overall

The State Department said it was “fully complying” with Trump’s “workforce optimisation agenda”.

A spokeswoman for the department said: “Consistent with this, the State Department continues to assess our global posture to ensure we are best positioned to address modern challenges on behalf of the American people. As a general matter, we do not comment on internal personnel matters.”

A traitor was caught.
If anything, Chinese media must promote the image of a superior Chinese civilisation so “la malinche” types don’t do stupid shit like this. Mind you, a traitor is a traitor and once caught, should donate their bodies to weapons testing and then medical testing afterwards. You can understand why the nine familial executions were a thing for traitors.

How was she recruited? (I remember a Shanghai marathon protestors seem to be indoctrinated by a US based Chinese name woman who use translation jobs as way, cant remember the twtr name of that woman) curious abt her background story....

viets can be contrarian and act like a bitter hater but sooner or later, they must kowtow to big daddy china. Or else, Annam starts looking nice on Chinese maps.

Did the Thai China rail agreement, "forced" them to approve?

Well a deal with China to sell more commodities to China in exchange for opening up of imports from China of finished goods seems like you know, the thing that Russia is doing? Trump wants to turn US into farm land and mine for China? Seems like an okay deal to me, normally countries have to be squeezed into accepting that sort of arrangement.

Maybe to keep USD trade? Buy time?

Both Trump and 九千岁 are turning up the firepower on Zelensky

I find it amusing Trump brings up Zelensky's acting career because I can just see him say over the phone "compared to me you were a terrible comedian, a terrible actor and now a terrible president, what are you even good for?"
