For all the talk about about how Xi is a dictator or whatever, he doesn't show up much in my Weibo feed. Like he shows up in important stuff like anniversary of wars, policy statement, state visits, annual inspection etc. But a lot of time there a lot of focus on the spokespeople coz they do a lot of media talk and responses. Not Xi. In fact at least from my experience Trump shows up more coz he's always making statements to the media and the world.

He's got nothing on Godi media.

Real reason why Jai Hinds can’t come clean about aircraft losses on May 7th.

It's Juche with American charateristics I guess.

Given that Nvidia had been greenlit by USG to deploy 'approved' chips to China, who's to say those chips weren't compromised or laying the groundwork for future sabotage missions against Chinese AI and supercomputing?
Case eg:

In the book, Reed stated the United States added a

According to Reed, when the components were deployed on a Trans-Siberian gas pipeline, the Trojan horse led to a huge explosion.

This was accomplished through the sale of manipulated encryption technology (

At this rate, it's fair for adversarial nations to assume that any and all technology originating from the West and any Western aligned nations are compromised, latest damning eg being that pager attack on Hezbollah earlier this year using taiwanese made pagers.

David Sacks, White House AI and Crypto Czar and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology posted this after Huawei announcment.

There was major news from China in the AI race this week:
1. Huawei introduced a new AI chip to compete with Nvidia.
2. The Chinese government instructed Chinese companies to stop buying certain Nvidia AI chips.

Taken together, the message is clear: China is not desperate for our chips. It is producing its own, and intends to compete globally in the semiconductor market.
It’s time for Washington to update its assumptions with regard to export controls. American chip companies must be allowed to sell the American technology stack abroad, albeit with security requirements, else we forfeit the AI race to China. If we refuse to do business with a country, we push it into China’s arms.

And this is still the thinking of so-called analysts.

David, shouldn’t the U.S. stop selling any semiconductor equipment to China altogether? I think the U.S. is selling far too much equipment to China right now. Even if it means sacrificing American semiconductor-equipment companies, I believe we must stop this China “Silk Road.”

Should we sell it? No, wait—shouldn't we sell it? We shouldn't sell it, right? No, we should sell it. Yes, yes, yes—we should definitely sell it. Sell it... Is that right? Should we sell it, or shouldn't we? Maybe we shouldn't sell it, but I think we should sell it after all. Sell it—is that really the right thing to do?

So for example, in event of US use Saudi Bases or airspace to attack lran, and lran retaliates, it will be seen as attack to pak?

Same of its lsr or lndia? Also is this an indirect def agreement w CN?

If there's an attack from Saudi soil that would make the kingdom the aggressor, even if it's Americans dropping the bombs.

I highly doubt Pakistan is going to defend the Saudis against houthi retaliation if they attack Yemen again, the Saudis and UAE are the ones who started the intervention after all

Mutual defence doesn't mean joining in any foreign policy adventures that the other side decides to gamble on

Interesting how it is resplendent with gold paint on the outside but probably hollow brass or maybe plaster on the inside. Is it a metaphor of some sort?
