Our new episode is out: we talk with Jon Russell of Asia Tech Review about how Chinese AI moved from challenger to global export industry.

Jing Yang is surprised too: while the US has narrowed to a few frontier-model players, China still has ByteDance, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent—and a deep second tier across language and video models.

Earthmade owner Greg Lui faces federal charges over allegedly sending Nvidia-equipped servers to China using false records and overseas intermediaries.
Jing Yang points out the $0 revenue trap squeezing China’s AI startups.

The open‑source flywheel fuels user data, leaving smaller players in a crisis.
