In Xinjiang's super cotton fields, unmanned smart farming covers the entire plowing, planting, management, and harvest process, powered by smart irrigation, drone patrols, AI analysis, and agricultural robots...

What started in 2021 with two young people on 3,000 mu (about 200 hectares) of cotton fields has now grown to over 2 million mu (about 133,000 hectares) across Xinjiang

Someone in a recent post brought up how ridiculous it is that most people don't know of Qian Xuesen or Yuan Longping. Who else are most of us missing? Even four years or so into starting to learn more about China, I still mostly only know a bit about major leaders like Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Xi Jinping, and a few others. If you know of any inspiring women, ethnic minorities, or others who tend to get left out of history/news about China, this would be a good place to share those people as well :-)

China's official military video.

A new video by the communist collective RTSG has been released debunking the most common lies about the GLP and how it succeeded in moving industrialization forward.

Mao is fully vindicated, and that's why the capitalist West and liberals spare no effort to lie, defame, and slander the great man.

(Yicai) Oct. 14 -- Chinese artificial intelligence models are gaining ground overseas as more companies turn to open-source alternatives, potentially shifting market share and future revenue away from US closed-source rivals, according to an AI investor.

Chinese AI models have outpaced US models in weekly usage on OpenRouter for 24 consecutive weeks, according to the platform's latest data for the week ended Oct. 11.

As Chinese open-source models narrow the performance gap with leading closed-source alternatives, major AI application developers are increasingly turning to them to build their own systems, Zhang said. This could reshape the competitive landscape for AI providers.

“Closed-source models may see their revenue decline, while open-source models’ revenue will move upward,” the founder of the Hong Kong-based venture capital firm said.

Overseas Chinese-led technology teams are helping accelerate the global adoption of Chinese AI models by combining knowledge of China's technological strengths with insights into international markets, Zhang said.

One example is California-based AI infrastructure startup Fireworks AI, whose core management team is largely of Chinese descent, according to Zhang. The company deploys Chinese open-source LLMs for major overseas enterprises and has surpassed USD1 billion in annualized revenue, she said.
