The CEO of Douyu TV, one of China's largest live streaming platforms, has been missing for several days and is now confirmed to have been arrested on charges of opening a casino. Some people speculate that he cooperated with a group of anchors a few years ago to conduct extremely frequent paid lottery activities on the live broadcast platform, helping fraudulent companies in northern Myanmar launder money and profit from it.

Will china use A.I in military?? If so, how far is their current application

For drones, it has to incorporate AI. For example, CH-7 drone was seen flown in a video.. similar spec to X-47B.
In the next stage, tt is better to develop an A.I HIMARS automatic vehicle. Using AI or some remote control rather than a human driver and loader.

@BoraTas and @BlackWindMnt , since the mod had become strict in posting political stuff in the semiconductor thread, plus both of you are from Netherlands so I post it here, does Wilders victory allowed ASML to continue selling their advance DUVi or even an EUVL disregarding the American imposed sanction?
His voting base is mostly white supremacist types, his party program is also really pro western, so they will most likely follow the US in foreign policy except on useless NATO missions. He is allegedly pro Russia like some republicans are pro Russia because they want Russia to help the west beat China and maintain western hegemony. So given this i think EUVL is out of the question, that is a policy they wont change anytime soon unless they hear China creating and scaling up EUV. I think for DUVi they will just continue Ruttes policies for now until a coalition is formed.

But Wilders first needs to form a coalition with other parties and the dutch political landscape is quiet fractured, so it will be hard to find others willing to rule with him. Then they need to find common points so they can create a governmental program based on their election promises. This process can take months so don't expect wilders to take over anytime soon at least not this year.

Another option is that Wilders will not even become Prime minister and his party will not rule at all, given the fractured nature of the political landscape a center right and left majority coalition without wilders is also possible. It would probably result in national protests give Wilders huge election victory.

But i didn't really followed dutch national politics that much this election it usually ends up the same shit as before, like they say the more things change the more they stay the same. And there is just to much geopolitical stuff going on that i find more interesting.

The British offered to return Hong Kong early, back in the early '70s, but Mao actually refused it in order to have them further develop the city first!
Is there any source from either sides to back this story? If the British did make that "offer" in the 1970s, what were they fighting for initially (refusing to return) in the 1980s?

The story I have heard was that some PRC leaders wanted to recover Hong Kong before 1997 using force if necessary. The idea was on the table in 1949 already which was put aside by Mao due to the value of Hong Kong being the only channel for PRC to gain access to the west (finance and tech). My guess is that the idea maybe brought up in late 1960s and early 1970s after the British killed many pro-PRC protesters in 1967's Hong Kong turmoil but then was put aside again for the same reason as in 1949. The proposed forceful means included but not limited to cut off power and water supply to Hong Kong. I heard this measure from my history teach in school.

The British has never ever "offered" anything.

Regardless of what the Dutch or ASML wants to do, they are using light sources made by Cymer in the US. If the US sanctions the sale of the light sources, then they have no machines to sell.

Are elections held in one round or two?
Taiwan's presidential election is one round. It has no runoff.

To be fair, Newsom did successfully eliminate poverty in San Francisco... for around one week.
Maybe a Potemkin village is easy to build?

I guess AI has to be used very vigilantly in the military.

You have to live in your own world to believe that there is free press in the West. Today's case in point (notice that BBC is a quasi-governmental agency):
The BBC journalists said that across British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) platforms, terms like “massacre” and “atrocity”, have been reserved “only for Hamas, framing the group as the only instigator and perpetrator of violence in the region. This is inaccurate but aligns with the BBC’s overall coverage”.

Interesting theory why the regimes in the West are in cahoots with Israel's Zionist regime and explains the situation above somewhat:

This is what happens when your government is actually ruled by the moneyed class and the arms industry is one of the few remaining major profit-generating industries that holds a disproportionately large lobbying power over the government.
