Hua Bin – The Unz Review Jan 31, 2025
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has sent a shockwave through the US tech industry and Wall Street in the last week.
Its LLM R1, trained under $6 million and 2 months, has outperformed the latest offerings from OpenAI, Meta, Google and Microsoft, who have spent tens of billions and years on their models.
The DeepSeek AI app has topped download charts in the US and China, replacing ChatGPT as the No. 1 AI productivity tool.
Due to its breakthrough technology that shows powerful AI can be developed with very limited investment in compute, DeepSeek’s emergency has sent Nvidia stock reeling, losing as much as 17% on Monday and wiping out $600 billion in market cap.
Interestingly, as we speak, barely a few days after the shockwave on Wall Street, DeepSeek is experiencing a massive denial of service (DoS) attacks from the US on its servers, affecting new registrations.
The US government, including the US Navy, has banned the use of DeepSeek for its personnel. And the congress is already discussing ways to slow down and disrupt DeepSeek.
This episode is eerily reminiscent of the Huawei ban, the TikTok ban, the chip ban, and the EV tariffs. The US regime has fully adopted the Tony Harding school of how to win by breaking the leg of her competitor. Ask Nancy Kerrigan about it.
As thoughtful people put all these panic-ridden actions in context, the most obvious conclusion emerges – the US regime is not acting from any position of strength. It is behaving like a chicken little who cannot compete, win honestly, and is running scared.
The list of anti-China activities out of successive US regimes is long and varied –
– Trump started to impose 60% tariff on Chinese imports since 2017, a policy the Biden regime continued.
– The Biden regime imposed 100% tax on Chinese EVs, which have not yet even entered the US market. But the competitiveness of Chinese EVs is enough to get Biden to enact pre-emptive tariffs.
– Biden regime imposed dozens of export controls on China, often using coercion against its own “allies” to follow suit such as Holland’s ASML and South Korea’s Hynix and Samsung.
– Biden regime put thousands of Chinese companies on the US entity list with all sorts of made-up justifications in hope of disrupting these companies’ operations.
– Trump is again making noises to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. He is going further to threaten invading Panama and Greenland to contain China.
– The FBI launched the infamous China Initiative to prosecute Chinese scientists working in the US, yielding zero prosecutable case after ruining the lives of numerous scholars and scientists.
McCarthyism is alive and well in the “land of the free”. J Edgar Hoover, the cross dresser, would be proud of the viciousness of the criminal organization he founded.
– The US regime has also harassed the hundreds of thousands Chinese students in the US, who are contributing $150 billion a year to the US economy. It is attempting to prevent Chinese students from studying in advanced technical fields. Anyone studying the defunct neoliberal economics or neoconservative politics and faux democracy is welcome.
– The congress passed a $1.6 billion smear fund in a so-called “anti-CCP propaganda” campaign. The best to counter other’s so-called propaganda is of course to launch a bigger one of your own.
– Every political appointee, as well as elected official, must espouse a fervent anti-China rhetoric in confirmation hearings, TV interviews, and corporate media op-eds. If you are not a China hawk, you have no place in the US power elite.
– Every Pentagon official and military industrial complex funded “think tanker” is expected to sound tough about the coming China US war. They come up frightening concepts like “unmanned Hellscape” strategy in the Taiwan Strait, seemingly unaware China is years ago in drone tech and production.
– The US has tried to mobilize its vassals from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and India into anti-China military alliances. It has formed fearsome-sounding acronyms like AUKUS and QUAD, which are looked upon in awe only by itself.
The “most powerful country in the history of the world” (as self-claimed by multiple US regimes) seems unconfident to take on China on its own.
On the other hand, China is playing its own game. There is no political figure or “expert” jumping up and down on national or local TV to shout against the US. There is little attention paid to the theatrics in Washington and its client states.
China is focused on overcoming the difficulties posed by the aggressive US actions, reducing dependencies, and developing its indigenous capabilities.
– China has diversified its trades. Trading with emerging markets now account for more than 50% of China’s total trade. Trade with the US is less than 3% of its GDP as of 2024.
– Huawei has revived its mobile business and dethroned Apple to return to market leadership in China. Its leadership is more entrenched in the core telecom technology area. It is more vertically integrated with its own chip design and manufacturing supply chain.
Huawei has expanded its product offerings to include mobile operating systems (Harmony OS NEXT), electric vehicles, streaming services, and autonomous driving.
– In AI, Chinese companies are making rapid progress. In addition to DeepSeek, ByteDance, Baidu, Alibaba, 01.ai have all developed sophisticated LLM models.
– China leads in industrial AI applications from robotics, drones to autonomous driving. Companies such as Unitree, DJI, BYD, Xiaomi are integrating AI technologies into multiple areas of practical applications beyond generative AI.
China is also translating its industrial, technological and economic power into military power.
It has recently launched the world’s first 6th generation fighter prototypes (not one but two at the same time), the world’s first drone-carrier, the first hypersonic stealth unmanned airplanes for strike and reconnaissance, the first stealth unmanned warship, and the most powerful long-range air defence systems.
It is progressing rapidly in directed energy weapons, military 5G, atomic timing, and space warfare systems.
All these military technological breakthroughs were unveiled in the last 3 months.
While the US politicians and military figures seem to conflate theatrics with reality, China is quietly amassing the capability to overwhelm its opponent in raw military might, industrial might and economic might.
As we watch with amusement the clownish performance of the US elite, the stinking odor of fear reeks so much you can smell it from across the Pacific.
America no longer knows it must compete to outperform an economic rival, not tariff, sanction, fine or otherwise turn gangster. I mistrust AI completely but DeepSeek should DeepSink the US if it’s foolish enough to start an economic war against China. China was built upon the impoverishment of the US and western working and middle classes. It didn’t steal anything, it invested in its country’s future while the west invested in the 5% only who made those decisions and whose money and votes is all that matters.
If you take away the incomes and wealth of the majority you must also take away their political power, because otherwise they’d be the most powerful bloc. It’s why the US and UK became shitholes. Taxation without representation always leads to the powerless bearing an unfair tax burden with few of the tax breaks the powerful enjoy; and once too few pay income tax they shift the burden onto purchase taxes.
AI is an oxymoron. A computer, as we know it today, is not intelligent by any means. That which is termed AI is nothing more that a computer data base which answers questions but is limited by the bias and knowledge of the computer programmer which may well be incorrect knowledge.
If it were to be intelligent then it not is not ‘Artificial’ There cannot be ‘Artificial’ ‘Intelligence’ in the same breath.
There are other examples of using a name to create something which people take on board as being real, for example no Virus is alive and pathogenic. We, yet again. are being led on and fed bullshit. Fear creation that there is something greater than ourselves.
US: Big Hat… Big Mouth… NO Cattle..
And DON’T get me started on its pathetic UK poodle having to recently send ‘Rachel from Accounts’ – Yes, she of the “burnished” c.v. – over to China to basically beg for bailout!
🙄
The western nations as a people, civilization, religion and or cultural force are finished, we are sadly just waiting for someone to say its over.
We can blame Zionists all we want and yes their is the kalgeri plan and of course it has affected western countries.
But truth be told the people themselves abandoned their religion, they wanted to be free and live liberal life styles and now that has come at price with demographics.
I don;t personally know of any European armies who are strong anymore, it seems, no one want to really join the armies anymore and why would they when they want to fight some evil people’s wars and die for them.
I think this point needed to come in order for western peopel to realize where they went wrong, and its I also think it is time for them to come back to the truth and it is from that truth they will find their way again.
Out of all the trials and tribulations will come the freedom of the peopel truly want it.
What this Commie chink doesn’t tell you is that the US & the West transported all this industry/technology to China & set it up there. The Chinaman didn’t develop any of this on his own including A.I. & is simply a robotic commie slave of these Jewish owned transnational corporations.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, he Israel Overlords are simply phasing out the West/white race & transitioning their base of global power/control to BRICS vis a vis their new totalitarian techno-Communist wog world they’re forming/implementing–as they intend to extinguish the white man sometime this century. The West (UK/US/EU/OZ-NZ) is simply scheduled to decompose & morph into an amorphous mass of billions of negroids-asians-latinos-mongrels along the lines of Elysium (2013).
Now you know
Hey tts. Thanks for the commie Chinese critique of the U. S. Your bias is showing. In fact, it’s hanging out like your pants are around your ankles. I’ve not read such vituperatuve bs in quite a while. I SEE you!
AI, artificial imbecility, is only for the intellectually bankrupt, slack-jawed morons, and the talentless. What humanity really needs is an AI platform in which its only purpose is to seek and destroy other AI platforms to make people do their own work again.
The problem is that we still prefer to be ruled by people who lie to us and are in tremendous conflicts of interest. Trump’s tariffs against Canada and Mexico are based on pretexts and not facts. US tariffs against China which he is increasing from 25% to 35% are at the heart of the matter, but the US does not want to appear to be singling out China and is using spurious arguments about Canada not paying its fair share towards the US military allegedly “protecting” the nation, and using the same argument against Mexico for allowing drugs trafficking across the US border. Hey, Mr. Trump Canada and Mexico are still free nations. People are not stopped or checked for leaving the nations. They are free to walk out any time. It is in travelling into another nation that the border duties arise. That is why he is building a wall on the Mexican border. Why not do the same across Canada? The answer is obvious and besides the US is very careful especially with its northern borders.
If the Americans could ever admit the facts about open trade with China they would clearly see that since it began in 1979 it has devasted all Western economies and in fact turned each of our nations from creditor nations into debtor nations. They would also have to admit that it was done with deliberate design, and they would trace the source of the problem not just back to Kissinger and Nixon in “opening up” China, but simply the long-range plans of the international banking cartel controlled mainly by the the Rothschild banking dynasties. They would have to review their history and determine apart from all of the BS and propaganda in their history courses just how China went communist under
Mao, and where the regime got is funding to regiment and ready a billion people in later decades for cheap labor making the so-called “Chinese miracle” possible. They would see very clearly that such cheap labor was used to flood our markets and to outsource countless entire industries to China, without any regard for the huge trade balances, and our governments maintaining living standards in the West through “deficit financing”. Even if they could recognize these facts, they would never openly admit them, simply because that very ruling class for the most part became enormously rich with open trade with China. It only took about 20 years to turn our nations into debtor nations, but that is what the banksters do. They have debt-rigged virtually every nation on the globe under the US military umbrella.
The major profits from Chinese goods in the West were not seen just with sales from multinationals such as Walmart in our nations or just to the Chinese manufacturers and its government. Very huge profits were made by off-shore multinational corporations and investors. It may not have been mainly the to Zionist interests where most of the money went, but if the money could be followed no doubt we would see a great deal of money having been poured into that nation from 1979 on, and from middlemen corporations and interests between the Chinese companies and the actual sales of the goods in our nations.
It was probably the same with the missing trillion being traced both in the Pentagon and in WTI at the time of 9/1l. “Coincidentally”, all of the evidence in the investigation was destroyed and now it has become increasingly clear that Israel was central to the entire operation, as it is with all of the upheavals in the Middle East.
The evidence of the international money-power control to advance Israel will be completely shunned by Mr. Trump simply because he is owned by Zionist interests. However, if he wants to restore the US economy and be free of Chinese controls, he has to cut the umbilical cords both with the Zionists and the Chinese, and simply say that open trade with China has bankrupted not just the US economy but virtually every Western nation including Canada and Mexico. But Trump will not do that. The US is largely dependent on its huge arms industry and its MIC. They have to start and maintain numerous wars and maintain a constant level of hostility on the planet to justify its military controls, but also to sell their nefarious wares around the world.
Because the US has turned into such an evil nation and despite all of its economic and military powers, Canada would be better off being more independent than in continuing to be owned and exploited under US domination, provided it does not climb more into bed with China. Chinese people are generally not sectarian like Jewish people and are very good at assimilating, but as more and more people have immigrated from China to Canada their loyalties as an ethnic population have greatly changed. If there was more of a North and South American alliance of nations, and our nations could throw off servicing the unjust and rigged debt loads to the money lenders, and end all trade with communist China, then the Americas would flourish.
End of empire, folks. Tell your kids to learn Cantonese.
no Virus is alive and pathogenic.
this fact should be held dearly to save humanity from the evil of transhumanism which have started by trickery of forced injection of endless nazi-needle. stay away from ‘war on terrorism’ and ‘war on virus’.
plans to overhaul policy forcing nations to take in asylum seekers
Story by Miriam Kuepper •
The EU is planning to overhaul a postwar policy that forces nations to take in asylum seekers. This is why most folk voted for brexit so we could make our own laws
The 1951 Refugee Convention, established after the Second World War under new EU regulations
the UK will be forced to take in a large number being expelled from the middle east by Israeli terrorism
This is why churchill at the end of ww 2 bombed and burnt thousands of German in their homes
as he did not want to feed and house refugees
It’s not called “Clown World” without good reason. “The greatest superpower the world has ever known” and every single thing about it is fake and gay.
Really?
Really!
And now… “The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups.
They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.
Not even once.”

Tariffs could lead to world economic depression. Reminder: Smoot Hawley tariffs lead to the Great Depression.
wiki – The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, enacted in 1930, raised U.S. tariffs on thousands of imported goods to protect American industries and farmers. However, it led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries and significantly decreased international trade, worsening the Great Depression.
Over the weekend wall street publications wonder what they know, why are hedge funds taking out massive short bets? Because the do know – the plan is to crash the system.
Elon DOGE just capped USAID – trillions going to prop up parasites everywhere.
Money laundering Lutheran Family Services
General Mike Flynn
@GenFlynn
Now it’s the “Lutheran” faith (this use of “religion” as a money laundering operation must end):
Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive massive amounts of taxpayer dollars, and the numbers speak for themselves. These funds, total BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars.
Here are just a few of the recent grants awarded (pre @RobertKennedyJr
) by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):
LUTHERAN IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE SERVICE INC: $367,612,906
LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES OF THE SOUTH, INC: $134,190,472.95
LUTHERAN SERVICES FLORIDA, INC.: $82,937,819.95
Brandon Biggs Trump prophecy – said the stock market craters immediately after Trump takes office, and today the stock markets sold off, a huge gap down.
Nico X and TheyRLying are closest to understanding this situation.
1. The rise of China, starting with Nixon’s visit there in the early 70s, is a planned phenomenon of the Globalists (commie Jews).
2. In all likelihood, the Chinese persons who programmed “Deepseek” were coached and taught by knowledgeable persons from the U.S., possibly even organs of the U.S. Government, such as the NSA and CIA. The U.S. government has invested large sums into “AI” and they keep close tabs on their competition…this can’t be a surprise to them therefore.
Regarding the idea of “outcompeting” China, you must understand that the competition cannot be won by western nations without collapsing their economies, because a primary advantage for China in this has been the huge difference in wage and price levels between China and the western countries. It’s too big of a gap to overcome, so the western countries must “lose.” This difference in wages and prices stems at least partly from differences in worker-safety and environmental laws. It stems from other quality-of-life considerations too.
Technology hasn’t been able to bridge this gap because western governments and industries have been more than happy to share our technology with our “competitor.” The technology and know-how that we westerners have painstakingly created over the past several centuries has been shared openly over the past several decades. Our various governments and industries have cooperated fully in this. This is not to mention the huge financial backing that must surely have been provided and must surely continue to be provided by the western banking system. Why? Because our leaders are “Globalists!”
The rise of China and the concomitant the fall of the west countries…is part and parcel of advancing One-World Government. One-World Government is the control of the entire world by an authoritarian, Jew-dominated government. The Soviet Union is a case study of a powerful centralized government under the control of the Jews. Here in America, we see that the U.S. Government, now almost completely controlled by them, is resembling the Soviet government more and more each day.
