It's why I've been saying that the US is the one that's trying to start a conflict in 2025 as any conflict that occurs later will basically guarantee the end of the US as a major power.
US doesnt need an excuse to start a conflict....

Rug pull is two way street, if China feels that US is crossing a point of inflection with its AI stack (tsmc, nvidia, azure, openai, api, etc) then it would be in China interest to accelerate AR

Does this channel sound like machine sythesized speech to you? To my ears, it doesn't have rhythms that a human would have, it also lacks the pauses that a human would have in a sentence or between sentences. A human would have an infinite lung volume to speak like that.
Almost all narration on youtube is synthetic nowadays, see Eleven Labs

I'm not sure how much emphasis we should put into rumors spread by FT, involving what President Xi supposedly said to the Governor General of EU regarding Taiwan.



Literally you can be a person familiar with the matter and I can be the other person sourced in that article.
Ok, but what is the motivation for the pro-American propaganda rag FT to lie about this? They usually endlessly fearmonger about an imminent Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
And quite frankly it just makes sense, and something a lot of members of this forum have been saying. That China's plan is long-term and it is the US that is trying to provoke conflict now. And China voicing this concern to the EU to convince them of their own perspective makes sense.

you think all other Manufacturing counties does not have India input?. Manufacturing is very broad term not just skilled labor on factory floor. 43,000 Indian students now in Germany. Germany stayed ahead of Japan/Korea due to integration with Europe and other labor import like from Turkey. now Germany is entering digital age. it will have more Indians. India may not need that much manufacturing consider the weather and proximity to ASEAN.

Manufacturing produces bridges and roads, not numbers on a computer. India seems to be leapfrogging over the industrial manufacturing phase straight into non-tangible assets/services phase. USA began this phase in the 1980's iirc, after a period of significant industrial growth. What it means is that India can "grow" in value in the virtual world of computer digits, but not much in the tangible world of reality.

USA went so deep in it that building basic infrastructure became a non-lucrative liability that successive governments always avoided. But USA still had a significant domestic manufacturing base as well as a currency that is the global reserve; India has neither. So, India will probably acquire the same negatives that the US faces at home in the form of declining quality of life, social unrest, etc. But even here India already has amongst the worst in the world (i.e. absurd levels of poverty, religious and ethnic violence, communal riots and pogroms).

Their destiny where they lose their place as a major power is inevitable no matter what they do now. Had they started the conflict with China over Taiwan before the Ukraine conflict, they might have a glimmer of a chance, but now it is impossible. Instead of starting another fight with China, how about trying to restore Chinas good will by sending all those anti China think tanks/disidents to China to be collectively judged and put away for good instead, I mean they are experts as selling people out right?

Wow who didn't see this coming? I never felt the hype of Xiaomi, Vivo or Oppo compared to Huawei and now I see why. They don't seem to have what it takes to win out in the long run. They don't know how to fight. They're just trend follower copycats who aim for the lowest price without being the ones to be in front challenging the status quo.
If this goes through, the most likely outcome is the Indians drive the business into the ground with poor people, process and management practises, leaving a shell of a company with a fraction of the original productivity, manufacturing phones that are far worse than the original Vivo.

I don't think they are thinking that far ahead. They just want to steal anything that isn't "nailed down". And hold as hostage for ransom any executive stupid enough to step foot in the country.

Even better then. It means anything they 'purchase' turns into vaporware. The Indians themselves are the best asset to retard and delay their own development.
