10 million times faster! China unveils major breakthrough in quantum computing (27 OCTOBER)

A Chinese research team has successfully designed a 66-qubit programmable superconducting quantum computing system named Zuchongzhi 2.1.

China has now become the first country to achieve a quantum computational advantage in two mainstream technical routes.

Quantum AI will be the final frontier of mankind...on optical processors... like the one Huawei is working on

Google Deepmind spent 25 million dollars in power of datacenter to train the AI that beat Lee Sedol... Imagine a future where AI can learn exponentially faster, it would make GPT3 and even WuDao2 seem like child play...

China is in the security Council. Can't they just veto of it reaches that point?
Could the USA veto China retaking its duly seat in the UN on 1971-10-25? Nope... if it's something done via floor at the UNGA.

The current attempt won't succeed... but it's just to create scene to catch attention, to fill up the MSM headlines and make trouble for China... any potential spill-over profit with little loss for Washington and Taipei, if any. Just a low cost action esp. for the US. China still needs to pay the price today resulted from the century of weakness incurred by the past generation hundred years ago... <sigh>

Ironic too, if you watch how Chinese people play this game vs how its creator intended for people to play this game it gives you a pretty good idea of why the COVID-19 response is so different between China and elsewhere.
I am thinking of the Big Picture of all the moves in the USA:

- first take no action let the pandemic raged, Trump gone, 600 thousand plus dead victims, many the old people at nursing homes plus the poor and colored people, the Black American has the high proportion.

- money creation by Fed during the 18 months, breaking record, over $5.5 trillion, then give some slacks through the cash distribution to the average Joes, and they could stay at home and pass the months meet the bills by the cash handout for several months -- most Americans won't complain about the Fed's ginormous money creation for the society also get some sweet... tho the lion share went to Wall Street

- while lockdown here and there, then followed by Vax Passport then mandatory vax

- now the minimum pay class are reluctant to get back to the job market -- many such vacancies are unfilled until present day --
who don't want to stay at home while getting allowance from gov for that, amount that competes with the minimum wage while landlords are still not able to evict the non-paying tenants

- news like this about the labor scarcity fills up news for how long... then months-long port drama, then the empty shelves at stores and supermarkets start to happen...

And today we are seeing a shocking new law about the child labor is under progress... -- something impossible without the pandemic -- can any one link the pieces and think this is just one of the deliberate plots? :rolleyes: :eek:

indeed I ever think from the pandemic creation to the still ongoing and unfolding stages... coincidence is just the very last thing to buy into... I imagine a very huge picture with many small pieces of puzzles...

Even though the US was not recognising Taiwan as a state, it supported the island “bit by bit”, according to Shi.
The significance of the one-China policy is narrowing down, and it’s becoming an empty shell,” he said.
Also known as salami-slicing.

Cancel the meeting
stop all the climate "cooperation" bs
stonewall and directly go against the US in all fronts
immediately start banning the use of US tech in domestic products
Stop talking with Biden. His words are meaningless
Throw another $100 billion towards domestic high tech development
Decouple from the Americans and start plans for decoupling with the EU-idiots
Start planning for the PLAAF to fly over Taiwan
Etc.

Taiwan must never be allowed to join the UN

And lastly, finally understand that the US is an enemy which wants to destroy China. There is no reasoning with them. It is either you live, I die or you die, I live. They are proper lunatics, so China should asap go for 10 000 nuclear warheads

For the "You are so aggressive. So hawkish" people, I answer:

If China suddenly lost all its nuclear weapons, what would the US do? It would immediately nuclear bomb China back to Stone Age. Thats why they are an enemy. There is no need to talk with these people

My gut feeling is the us might actually want China to invade taiwan now and they will just sit back and watch, they just want China to suffer some military losses in taking taiwan thus slowing down China economy and military modernization
but the CCP can see this a mile away and will only fight on China own schedule not americans
More like ECONOMIC SANCTIONS in order to fully impede the Chinese ascent into the world as the top dog economically. If China was coerced into attacking Taiwan militarily and the outcome while a given considering the massive force and capabilities disparity but the end result is very violent and destructive with unfortunate considerable civilian casualties the western world and vassals will be forced to coalesce with the U.S. in condemnation of China. It'll also further amplify the propaganda that China is a brutal country led by a brutal regime and is not only on par with NAZI Germany but actually exceeds them in barbarity etc... And one thing we all know about western politicians is not to let an opportunity pass them by since most people in the countries influenced, and amplified by western media will be incessant and unrelenting in their hyperventilation for the U.S. to do something about it. Whichever one looks at this situation, the American strategy is to bleed China dry one way or another. Taiwan is just one of those cards but that's their last card to be used on China and if they fail here and China succeeds just as they have done in Hong Kong, Covid-19 then in my estimation the U.S. will be forced to face a humiliation that it has never experienced before. It's power and influence in Asia will be greatly diminished and countries in the Quad may reconsider their memberships and the utility of such grouping. India will be forced to face the reality that's been staring at their faces for a while now that it's better to find a peaceful relationship with China and work with each other rather than to try and compete with China when India isn't that strong to do so.

But if China fails to impress militarily and only manages to subdue the island because of it's sheer military size and had to use a disproportionate amount of force causing massive civilian casualties then it'll be a slog from there.

I am hoping and praying that it'll never come to the need to use force at all. As much as I detest Taiwanese government it's the civilians that will bear the brunt of the fighting not to mention the military folks in Taiwan that'll have to fight since that's their duty as military people.

salami-slicing is double edge sword, china needs to be slicing back, in its own way, that hurt US just as much if not more long term ....

US is playing with fire, going all in right now betting its chips before house of cards collapse....

This is essentially an open declaration of war, as if the things that it inflicted on China the last three years, both covert and overt, werent enough...

Hard to believe a few years ago many people felt 300 nukes was enough deterrence, thats but a rounding error... for all intents and purposes if China really only had 300, im pretty sure it would have already gotten native american'd by now

Yeah, 30b is no small change. I first saw this video on weibo last month. It wasn't censored and was widely discussed domestically considering it contains some inconvenient truth. I see it as a good sign that at least some in Chinese government start to recognize the high cost of maintaining the current status quo regarding Taiwan.
If spending almost $5 Billion U.S.D. on a per annual basis on list of African countries to maintain/buy the current status quo isn't that still relatively cheaper when compared to the potential drawback of China’s potential Liberation of the island of Taiwan? The potential loss of investments and the economic sanctions that'll come for China will definitely cost more than $5 Billion so am not entirely convinced that the pros of Taiwanese Liberation isn't going to cause setback for China long term.

If my logic is in error please explain why. Thanks.

If spending almost $5 Billion U.S.D.
Honestly just 5 billion is ultra cheap. And its not like that China is stupid

It will just take the money it would give for foreign aid to poor countries and rebrand it as "buy out Taiwan-stance" money

China has (for good reason) always been reluctant to increasing foreign aid, so if it gives a bit more for the Taiwan issue, it is lower than some western-developed countries give as a percentage of gdp

So it is still ok for China to give a bit more for such a crucial diplomatic issue for it

These is called artificial demand destruction.... and as for why? Three possibilities that I can think of:

1) US was about to implode anyway (see REPO issues in 2019) and this was to slow it down and also to mask (pun intended) the true symptoms and cover up the root cause
2) US sees that a decoupling with China is coming up soon (for whatever reason) and is preparing the American people to live with less... hence all the propaganda of "you will own nothing and be happy" and "empty shelfs doesn't mean you can't have a VERY happy holidays" etc etc
3) US is preparing for kinetic war with China and also hence #2.... and the neverending boosters of mRNA vax to get the US population used to the mandatory antivirus updates because once war goes hot, all the gloves come off and biowar will then be out in the open.

Very astute thought
