Wow. Hackers got into NVIDIA servers and claim to have all the Verilog for NVIDIA's RTX 3090Ti. They are demanding NVIDIA to release source code for their drivers for Windows, MacOS, and Linux or that they will put the Verilog in the open. This is basically the high level description of the chip design.
Wow, the biggest danger is that could give hackers access to backdoors in their GPUs.

Autocracies will be most nervous: they own half of the world’s $20trn pile of reserves and sovereign wealth assets. While China can inflict huge economic costs on the West by blocking supply chains, it is now clear that in the event of a war over Taiwan, the West could freeze China’s $3.3trn reserve pile. Even some democracies like India, which has avoided condemning Russia’s invasion, may worry they are more vulnerable to Western pressure. Over the next decade technological changes could create new payments networks that bypass the Western banking system. China’s digital-currency trial has 261m users. Today it is hard to park trillions of dollars outside Western markets, but in time more countries may seek to diversify their reserves by investing more elsewhere.

50/50 on whether to post here or on the funny stuff thread for the irony of calling someone else stupid while making a classical grammatical error...

Trump said he believes China may invade Taiwan sooner rather than later because 'they're seeing how stupid the United States is run'​


"I do because they're seeing how stupid the United States is run." (sic)

He went on to describe China's President Xi Jinping as being "a man with high intelligence level."

Ten major groups, including Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Aston Martin, hit by the war in Ukraine.

BMW's German plants in Munich and Dingolfing, its MINI plant in Oxford, as well as its engine plant in Steyr, Austria, will sit idle. These are jobs that will be lost in Europe because of the war and operational restrictions due to sanctions.

Surely Chinese manufacturers will benefit from this.
At this rate Germans will work for Turks rather than Turks work from Germans.

I'm not going to repeat what I wrote in response to others. I highly recommend reading the history of PRC ascension to UN permanent seat here. It is far more complicated than simply Sino-American reapproachment and US allowing it to happen. That is a very oversimplification of how PRC gained the permanent seat and ignores the decades of building support among UNGA members and decades of dirty tactics US employed to thwart admission until the very last minute.

Article is straight forward with no added opinion but idk how good the reputation of SupChina is as an unbiased source of news for other articles and topics.

On February 25, SupChina also interacted with William Klein, a senior official from the American Embassy in China, to help promote the US' political stance on Ukrainian issues

The Global Times found that most of SupChina's listed partners are notoriously anti-China NGOs that constantly concoct rumors about China.

When searching SupChina-related news on the internet, it can be seen that their articles are often reposted or quoted by Radio Free Asia, the Human Rights Watch, and other typical Western anti-China organizations or cult websites

I briefly looked thru that subreddit, i think it is a bunch of people Larping. Similar to the suppose boycott of blizzcon/bliz games during the HK riots, only 5ish people associated with reddit/twitter showed up besides a local hong kong orgnanization. People in that group think the "best" from the war on terror would be showing up in Ukraine. The reality is that the "best" without ptsd is still in the military , federal contractor/supplier , or dc making 100-200k a year.

I once had to ask someone very opinionated on geopolitical matters how they were... they admitted to be 14 0_o

A Chinese businessman with long-term ties with Russia, who also did not want to be identified, said several Russian companies he works with are now planning to open yuan accounts.

"It's pretty simple logic. If you cannot use U.S. dollars, or euros, and U.S. and Europe stop selling you many products, you have no other options but to turn to China. The trend is inevitable," the source told Reuters

FESCO Transportation Group , a major Russian transport and logistics company, said this week it will accept Chinese yuan from customers, after some Russian banks were kicked out of the global financial messaging system SWIFT.

"It's natural for Russian companies to be willing to accept yuan," said Shen Muhui, head of a trade body that promotes links between Russia and China.

Companies will be switching to yuan-rouble business but in any case things will become two, three or four times more expensive for Russians because the exchange rate between the yuan and rouble is also changing," said Konstantin Popov, a Russian entrepreneur in Shanghai.

Is it possible we may see Yuan-Ruble oil trading sooner or later.
