@TechCrunch Big escalation in US-China tech decoupling. No immediate sanctions but DoD contracting bans kick in soon.

Expect more supply chain pressure on EVs, AI & cloud. Markets already reacting?

@TechCrunch The Pentagon’s designation of Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD as Chinese military companies highlights the growing scrutiny on dual-use technology. It will be interesting to see how this impacts U.S.-China supply chain relations moving forward.

@TechCrunch No shit. It's a totalitarian society. Everything supports its military.

@TechCrunch The list is interesting because it spans electric vehicles, AI, cloud computing, and robotics.

Basically a preview of the industries likely to define the next decade. 🚀

@TechCrunch 五角大楼这名单像是给中概股做空投的催化剂。阿里云去年海外营收占比才11%，地缘溢价快被压到零了，接下来看PE能不能跌出安全边际当旅费。
