This is the biggest irony of the whole Alice Huang / Nvidia saga: the Chinese government actually doesn't want Nvidia chips and is actively keeping them out of the country. Last year it even ordered Alibaba and ByteDance to cancel their Nvidia orders (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…) and sent customs teams to the ports to check every advanced chip coming in (ng.investing.com/news/stock-…). And right now 600,000 Nvidia H200s are stuck in Hong Kong because Beijing won’t let them into the country (reuters.com/world/china/nvid…)👇 Nvidia also explicitly frames this as a threat to its business in its latest annual report to the SEC: "The Chinese government has encouraged customers to purchase from our China-based competitors and discouraged customers from purchasing, importing, or using our data center products" (sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…). Why does China do that? Because every Nvidia chip a Chinese company buys is one that Huawei or Cambricon doesn’t sell, and domestic chips can only catch up if people actually buy them (which means money for R&D, etc.). Which means that the notion that Chinese intelligence was running honeytraps to get more Nvidia chips into China gets the whole thing exactly backwards. In fact, it looks like Megaspeed - Alice Huang's company - was a counter-reaction to official Chinese policy: a private sector workaround to these efforts by the Chinese government to curtail Nvidia. As was widely reported - including by Western media - Megaspeed built data centers in Southeast Asia and rented their computing power to Alibaba, which the New York Times called "a backdoor way of getting access" to Nvidia chips (nytimes.com/2026/11/06/us/po…). That is a backdoor not only - allegedly - around Washington’s export controls, but also around China's own efforts to wean its companies off Nvidia. I can’t believe the Chinese government was too thrilled about it: it'd make just about zero sense for it to run countless domestic measures to prevent Alibaba from using Nvidia chips, yet at the same time have its top spy agency help the same Alibaba get Nvidia chips through the back door in Southeast Asia 🤷 At the end of the day, as with all such stories, you always need to look at "cui bono?": who benefits? Who benefitted is pretty clear: - Nvidia itself: it's in the business of selling chips so a customer willing to spend billions of dollars on chips in Southeast Asia is a godsend. Again, as they themselves state in their SEC filings, not being able to tap into Chinese demand would have "a material and adverse impact on our business" (sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…). - Chinese companies like Alibaba: facts are, 1) Chinese chips haven't yet caught up, 2) Chinese chip companies' production capabilities are still limited and 3) Chinese tech firms' historical tech stack runs on Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem, and rewriting years of code for Huawei chips is painful. Renting Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia is the easy way to stay competitive and serve customer demand in the meantime. - The US, according to core members of the Trump administration: back in July last year, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that the point of letting Nvidia sell more chips to China was to get Chinese developers "addicted to the American technology stack" (techradar.com/pro/china-coul…). Who does NOT benefit, according to official Chinese policy, is the Chinese state, which has made tech self-reliance one of its foremost priorities. Which means that, to believe the spy story, you have to believe that a person - Alice Huang - was effectively a spy paid by her own government while simultaneously sabotaging its tech self-reliance drive, which it has spent years and trillions of dollars on - pretty senseless. Stranger things have happened, I guess, but it doesn't pass the smell test. And there is another absolutely major contradiction in the media story. According to a Financial Times article published yesterday (ft.com/content/3238d92b-4074…), "a person who knows [Alice Huang] said they had been asked by MSS for information about her earlier this year after news emerged that Singapore was investigating the company in relation to chip-smuggling allegations. The agency wanted to find out more information about Huang, including the nature of her business and connections, the person said." Which raises a damn obvious question: if she were indeed an MSS asset, why on earth would the MSS need to ask the people around her who she was and the nature of her business? It's a complete contradiction with the spy story - but very much not a contradiction with what I described above: a private businesswoman running a workaround to Beijing’s own policy, which the Chinese security apparatus would naturally want to look into. Especially since, around about the same time, Shanghai police detained her business partner, reportedly her husband, in a stock manipulation case (caixinglobal.com/2026-11-10/…): also coherent with Chinese authorities looking into her network, and much harder to square with her being a prized MSS asset. And, to top it all, there is - to this day - not a shred of evidence that's been published that she is, in fact, a Chinese spy: just anonymous intelligence officials, repeated by journalists who never verified it, as I detailed here (teapaw.org/RnaudBertrand/status/2…) and here (teapaw.org/RnaudBertrand/status/2…) with one of the key FT journalists on this story actually admitting that he has no idea what evidence US intelligence actually has. So the claim went to print without anyone seeing the evidence, without anyone being able to check it, and without anyone knowing whether it even exists. And given everything above, from Beijing blocking the very chips she was supposedly recruited to help get into China, to the MSS asking around about her, to her partner being detained in Shanghai, my bet is that the evidence doesn’t exist at all. If anything, everything we can check points the other way.
From the horse's mouth 🤷 That's kinda your job to check before reporting she's a "spy"... If you don't, all you're doing is making YOURSELF an agent of the US intelligence community, ironically what you accuse her of with regards to China.

DEUX PUISSANCES. DEUX HISTOIRES. DEUX ÂMES. D'un côté, les États-Unis. De l'autre, la Chine. On te dit que l'une est la liberté, l'autre est la dictature. On te dit que l'une est le bien, l'autre est le mal. Mais regarde l'histoire. La vraie. Pas celle des films. LES ÉTATS-UNIS : UNE PUISSANCE BÂTIE SUR LE VOL. L'Amérique n'est pas née du travail. Elle est née du vol. On vole la terre des Amérindiens. On les massacre, on les parque dans des réserves, on leur prend tout. On vole des millions d'Africains. On les enchaîne, on les vend, on les fait travailler gratuitement pendant 250 ans pour construire le coton, le tabac, la richesse du Sud. On vole le Mexique. La moitié du Mexique devient le Texas, la Californie, l'Arizona. On vole le monde entier après 1945. Avec le dollar, avec les guerres, avec la CIA, avec les coups d'État. Chili, Iran, Irak, Libye, Vietnam, Panama. La liste est trop longue. Et après, on appelle ça la liberté. On appelle ça le capitalisme. On appelle ça le rêve américain. Mais quel rêve ? Le rêve de celui qui vole et qui dit aux volés : "Travaillez dur, vous y arriverez aussi." Le capitalisme américain, c'est ça : une poignée qui possède tout, et des millions qui travaillent pour eux, qui s'endettent pour se soigner, qui dorment dans la rue à Los Angeles, à 50 mètres des villas de Beverly Hills. C'est une puissance qui se construit sur la fourberie. Sur la ruse. Sur la guerre. Sur l'esclavage. LA CHINE : UNE PUISSANCE BÂTIE SUR LE Labeur. La Chine, c'est l'histoire inverse. Pendant 100 ans, de 1840 à 1949, la Chine est humiliée. On l'appelle le siècle de l'humiliation. Les Anglais lui imposent l'opium. Ils droguent tout un peuple pour le voler. Les Français, les Allemands, les Russes, les Japonais, les Américains découpent la Chine comme un gâteau. Ils prennent Hong Kong, Macao, Shanghai, Qingdao, Taïwan. Le Japon envahit. Nankin. 300 000 morts. L'Unité 731. Des expériences sur des humains vivants. En 1949, la Chine est le pays le plus pauvre du monde. Le peuple mange de l'herbe. L'espérance de vie est de 35 ans. Il n'y a pas d'industrie. Pas d'écoles. Pas d'hôpitaux. Rien. Et là, que fait la Chine ? Elle ne va pas voler un autre pays. Elle ne va pas coloniser l'Afrique. Elle ne va pas faire la guerre pour du pétrole. Elle travaille. Le peuple chinois travaille. Des millions de paysans, d'ouvriers, d'ingénieurs, de médecins, de professeurs, travaillent jour et nuit, génération après génération, pour reconstruire leur pays de leurs propres mains. Ils construisent des barrages. Des chemins de fer. Des autoroutes. Des hôpitaux. Des écoles. Des usines. Des villes entières sorties de nulle part. En 70 ans, 800 millions de personnes sortent de la pauvreté. C'est le plus grand miracle de l'histoire humaine. Aucun pays capitaliste n'a jamais fait ça. Jamais. Et aujourd'hui, la Chine a les trains les plus rapides du monde. Les ponts les plus longs. Les villes les plus sûres. Les hôpitaux qui soignent tout le monde, même les plus pauvres. Pas parce qu'elle a volé. Parce qu'elle a travaillé. ET POURTANT, ON TE DIT QUE LE COMMUNISME NE MARCHE PAS. Les États-Unis passent leur temps à combattre le communisme. Ils disent que c'est le mal. Qu'il faut le détruire. Mais regarde. Le capitalisme américain a besoin de la guerre pour survivre. Il a besoin de vendre des armes. Il a besoin de piller. Le communisme chinois a besoin du labeur pour survivre. Il a besoin de construire. Il a besoin de la vertu. Du sens du collectif. De l'idée que le pays passe avant l'individu. Que l'intérêt du peuple passe avant le profit d'une entreprise. Les États-Unis ont la puissance de l'argent. La Chine a la puissance du travail. Les États-Unis ont la puissance de la fourberie. La Chine a la puissance de la vertu. L'une a construit sa puissance en écrasant les autres. L'autre a construit sa puissance en se relevant elle-même.

Iranian strength is what killed the Republicans. Vice President JD Vance made the surprising admission on social media that Trump’s war with Iran was what caused the massive Democratic Party sweep of the midterm elections, stating plainly that “The reason we lost is the war.” Saying “the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone,” Vance noted that a poll found Trump 2024 voters who ditched the president’s party in 2026 gave four main answers to the question of what the Republicans could do to win them back: “1) End the war, 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation, 3) Put America First , 4) Change our relationship to Israel.” All four of these answers tie directly in to Trump’s decision to launch an unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The war itself, failing to put America first, and Washington’s grotesque alliance with the state of Israel are all straightforward references to Trump’s warmongering in the middle east. Cost of living/inflation is also strongly related since the blockades resulting from Trump’s war have been costing every American household thousands of dollars in rising fuel and grocery prices. That last one is the real story of this election. As is often the case, economic concerns ranked as the number one issue among US voters in the lead-up to the midterm elections, and one of the major reasons why Americans have been struggling economically is because of the war in Iran. So the story isn’t that Americans spontaneously transformed into a country full of tender-hearted peaceniks in November 2026. The story is that Iran was able to impose an economic cost on ordinary Americans for the actions of their evil government. The average American is a propaganda-addled empire zombie who has been indoctrinated into cold-hearted indifference to their government’s abuses in the global south. American voters didn’t reject the war in Iran because they believe it’s immoral to bomb schools and civilian infrastructure in depraved wars of aggression overseas, they rejected it because it was costing them more to fill up their pickup trucks, and they were having to pay more money for their buckets of Mountain Dew and ranch dressing. If Trump had won the war in four to six weeks as he initially claimed he would, his monstrous attack on Iran would have been no more consequential in the polls than his regime change interventionism in Venezuela. It is only because Iran succeeded in doing whatever it needed to do to retain the military strength needed to impose a financial toll on the American electorate that the Republicans lost the Senate for years to come. War with Iran is now officially political poison because of Iranian strength. US officials love to whine and complain that Iran spends its money on its military instead of on the Iranian people (though the United States is literally the absolute dead-last country on earth who has any business airing such a grievance), and to this day they’re still weeping crocodile tears about the way Tehran aggressively smacked down the CIA/Mossad uprising at the beginning of the year. But Iran has shown the world that a nation must retain its strength if it wants to retain its sovereignty and avoid being turned into another resource extraction scam for the US empire. Every country that retains the necessary muscle to beat back the US empire’s efforts to absorb it into its power umbrella invariably gets smeared by the imperial propaganda machine as a tyrannical and despotic rogue state, but it is the US empire who makes it necessary for governments to exert force if they don’t want to be replaced with subservient US puppet regimes. Western propaganda likes to frame the global struggle as free democracies versus oppressive autocracies, but really it’s just nations who wish to retain their sovereignty versus the empire who wants to take that sovereignty away from them. It is the fault of the US empire that the only nations who have thus far resisted absorption are the ones who retain enough military strength and domestic control to do so. The United States didn’t retreat from Vietnam because the Americans suddenly developed a conscience, it retreated because the Vietnamese fought like lions and kept sending home coffins draped in red, white and blue. The Republicans didn’t lose the midterms because Americans dislike war, they lost because the Iranians beat the shit out of them.

"Beaucoup continuent de répéter, avec une naïveté déconcertante, que la Russie, avec sa puissance militaire, aurait pu écraser l’Ukraine en quelques semaines. C’est une lecture simpliste qui ignore tout de la nature profonde de ce conflit. Moscou ne mène pas une guerre contre un pays de quarante millions d’habitants. Elle affronte, à travers l’Ukraine, l’ensemble du bloc atlantiste, l’OTAN tout entière, ses services de renseignement, ses arsenaux, ses satellites, son industrie militaire et sa machine médiatique. L’Ukraine n’est qu’un théâtre d’opération, un champ de bataille dans une guerre mondiale larvée. Dans ces conditions, l’idée d’une victoire rapide n’a aucun sens. Oui, la Russie aurait pu raser Kiev en quelques jours. Oui, elle aurait pu écraser les infrastructures ukrainiennes et réduire l’État à néant. Mais un tel choix aurait eu un coût humain et politique considérable : des dizaines de milliers de morts civils, une condamnation internationale unanime, une rupture avec ses partenaires stratégiques et une perte d’influence dans le Sud global. Moscou a donc choisi une stratégie plus subtile, plus lente, mais aussi beaucoup plus ambitieuse. Elle combine pression militaire, guerre économique, bataille diplomatique, influence géopolitique et guerre informationnelle. L’objectif n’est pas seulement de gagner militairement, mais de remodeler durablement l’ordre mondial. Il faut comprendre également que l’Ukraine d’aujourd’hui est l’un des territoires les plus militarisés et les plus fortifiés du monde. Des milliards d’euros d’armes occidentales, des systèmes de défense antiaérienne sophistiqués, des lignes défensives profondes, des bunkers souterrains, une surveillance satellitaire permanente : même l’armée américaine, avec toute sa puissance, avancerait difficilement dans de telles conditions. La Russie agit donc avec prudence, car les régions qu’elle revendique comme historiquement siennes ne doivent pas être réduites en ruines. Elle avance lentement, consolide chaque mètre de terrain, organise des référendums, installe des administrations, et prépare déjà l’après-guerre. Ce choix stratégique prend tout son sens si l’on écoute les analyses d’Emmanuel Todd, historien et anthropologue français respecté, qui voit dans cette guerre bien plus qu’un conflit territorial. Pour Todd, il s’agit d’un affrontement civilisationnel entre un Occident en déclin et une Russie qui défend une conception plus traditionnelle, plus souveraine, de l’ordre politique et social. Il souligne que l’Occident, malgré son apparente supériorité économique et technologique, montre des signes de fragilité profonde : démographie vieillissante, crise de confiance, désindustrialisation, perte de repères idéologiques. Todd insiste sur un point capital : la Russie mène cette guerre avec seulement 3,3 % de son produit intérieur brut, un effort colossal mais soutenable, alors que les pays de l’OTAN, bien plus riches, sont contraints de dépenser des sommes gigantesques simplement pour maintenir l’équilibre. Ce chiffre, à première vue technique, révèle un déséquilibre stratégique profond. Comme le souligne Todd, si une nation capable de soutenir une guerre globale avec 3,3 % de son PIB peut tenir tête à l’ensemble de l’OTAN, alors cela signifie que l’Occident n’est plus ce qu’il était. Cela signifie que l’hégémonie occidentale repose désormais sur une illusion : celle de sa propre puissance. John Symers, analyste américain souvent critiqué pour sa lucidité, va encore plus loin. Il rappelle que l’OTAN, les États-Unis, l’Union européenne, le Japon et la Corée du Sud réunis représentent une part écrasante du PIB mondial, bien supérieure à celle de la Russie. Pourtant, malgré cet écart gigantesque, Moscou non seulement résiste, mais progresse. Cela prouve que la puissance brute ne se mesure pas seulement en chiffres économiques. Elle réside aussi dans la cohésion nationale, dans la capacité à endurer, dans la volonté politique et dans la profondeur historique d’un projet. Symers parle d’un « paradoxe russe » : une nation aux ressources économiques plus modestes qui parvient à tenir tête, seule, à l’Occident collectif, parce que sa stratégie est fondée sur la patience, la résilience et la clarté de ses objectifs. C’est pourquoi le facteur temps est crucial dans cette guerre. Plus elle dure, plus l’économie ukrainienne s’effondre, plus l’Occident s’épuise à fournir des armes, plus les sociétés européennes et américaines se lassent de financer un conflit qui n’a plus de sens pour leurs citoyen Chaque mois qui passe révèle davantage les fractures internes du monde occidental et renforce la position russe. La lenteur de la Russie n’est donc pas un signe de faiblesse, mais une stratégie de longue haleine. Elle cherche non pas une victoire brutale et spectaculaire, mais une victoire structurelle et durable. Elle veut démontrer, par les faits, que l’ordre mondial centré sur l’Occident est arrivé à bout de souffle. Et dans cette confrontation historique, Moscou ne se bat pas seulement pour l’Ukraine : elle se bat pour redéfinir les rapports de force mondiaux, pour mettre fin à des siècles d’hégémonie unilatérale et pour ouvrir la voie à un monde multipolaire. Ainsi, demander pourquoi la Russie n’a pas fini la guerre rapidement revient à poser la mauvaise question. Elle ne veut pas la finir vite. Elle veut la gagner profondément... Elle veut qu’à la fin de ce conflit, ce ne soit pas seulement un drapeau qui change sur un bâtiment, mais une ère entière qui s’achève. Car ce qui se joue aujourd’hui à Kiev, à Donetsk ou à Kharkiv, ce n’est pas seulement le destin d’un pays, mais celui du monde". Yan Amar

🇮🇷🇪🇺|Pezeshkian Told Europe the Truth: You Chose to Be a Runway. Now You Have No Influence. During a meeting with European Council President António Costa in New York, Pezeshkian said something that should have ended the conversation right there: "We witnessed not neutrality, but rather inaction on the part of certain nations during the recent war of aggression against Iran." "By supporting US hostile actions, Europeans have squandered the opportunity to play an active role." This is not a diplomatic nicety. It's a summary of Europe's role in the war. Europe didn't just fail to stop the war. Europe didn't just fail to criticize the war. Europe didn't just fail to condemn the bombing of Iranian schools, hospitals, and universities. Europe gave the war its runway. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte admitted it plainly: 5,000 planes took off from European bases to bomb Iran. That is not "neutrality." That is not "inaction." That is participation. That is complicity. Pezeshkian is saying what the Iranians have been saying since February: You are not a mediator. You are a launchpad. You cannot claim to be a neutral party while your runways are refueling the bombers. You cannot call for "restraint" while your bases are the logistics hub for the war. And now Europe is paying the price. It has no influence over the war. It has no influence over the ceasefire. It has no influence over the Strait of Hormuz. It has no influence over anything, because Washington doesn't need Europe's diplomacy. It only needs Europe's airspace. The Truth Europe Doesn't Want to Hear Europe had a choice. It could have been a bridge between Iran and the US. It could have offered a neutral platform for negotiations. It could have used its economic leverage to push for a ceasefire. It could have said no to the war. Instead, it said yes. It hosted the planes. It provided intelligence. It imposed sanctions. It supported the US "maximum pressure" campaign. And now it is irrelevant. Pezeshkian is not gloating. He is stating a fact. Europe has excluded itself. Not because Iran pushed it out, but because Europe volunteered to be the runway. The question is not whether Europe wants to be a mediator. The question is whether it has anything left to mediate with. And the answer is: no.

Salam @edsheeran: You did not apologise. You performed the liberal Zionist trope, start to finish. Let me walk you through your own script. It is not complex habiby. Three million people live under a government they are not allowed to vote for. In July 2024 the World Court found that Israel's policies breach the ban on racial segregation and apartheid. Complex is what you call it when the simple word costs you a stadium. It did not start on October 7. That is where you started watching. 750,000 Palestinians were driven out in 1948, before this cabinet existed. The displacement never stopped, it just got paperwork. In 2018 people in Gaza walked to the fence unarmed and asked to go home, and 189 of them were killed. Remove the government today and the settlements, the permits, the walls and the two legal systems are all still standing. Ethnic cleansing is not a policy of theirs. It is the method. Saying a child should not be bombed does not make you an activist. It makes you human. You called it activism because activism is a job you are allowed to turn down. Being human is not. Keep politics out of sport. Keep politics out of music. Azeez Al-Shaair wrote a five year old girl's name on his eye black and the NFL fined him $11,941. Second time in a year. The rule is that personal messages must be approved by the league. The league approves sponsors, logos, a cause on every surface of the pitch. What it will not approve is the name Hind Rajab. Politics is welcome when it is selling you something. You can wear the brand. You cannot say the word. They do not come after everyone. They come after the ones the mainstream actually listens to. Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream VII. Susan Sarandon was dropped by her agency. Kate Beckinsale says she was let go for liking a post about a ceasefire. Robert Kraft spent 15 million dollars on one Super Bowl advert. There is always money for the message and always a price for the sentence. He said he was afraid to stand in the middle of his own stage. Afraid of who? ACLED studied 553 US campus protests and found 97 per cent were non violent. They also documented at least 70 violent police crackdowns on them, with chemical agents and batons. The people he is describing are a woman holding a sign saying she survived 1948, and a baby in a keffiyeh. The ones who speak up are not braver than him. They are rooted. When the values are actually yours you do not weigh them against a stadium. The liberal Zionist is the most useful one they have. He grieves correctly. He says catastrophic. He says disproportionate. Disproportionate to what? That word admits there is a right number of dead children and only argues about the total. And he keeps your eyes on Gaza, because Gaza can be called a tragedy. Say Palestine and you have to talk about 1948, the permits, and the right to go home. He is not sitting on the fence. He is the fence. He does not defend apartheid, he makes it survivable. He gives you somewhere to put your conscience so you never have to move your feet. On 16 September 2025 a UN Commission of Inquiry found that genocide had been committed in Gaza. The largest body of genocide scholars in the world said so a month earlier. There is a word for this and it is not catastrophic. Everyone should be saying it by now, and saying the right one.

There is something almost classical about watching America's decline through Trump. The Greeks had a word for it: hubris. Followed, always and without exception, by nemesis. The country that told the world it was the "indispensable nation." The country that maintained 800 military bases in 80 countries. The country that redesigned the global financial system in its own image at Bretton Woods and then spent eight decades using access to that system as a weapon against anyone who disobeyed. The country that called this "freedom." Now watching its own cities rot. Its own bridges collapse. Its own citizens die of preventable diseases because the money that should have built hospitals and schools and water treatment infrastructure was spent maintaining the architecture of global domination that was supposed to make America great. The empire ate the republic. It ate it from the inside, slowly, over decades, diverting every resource toward the maintenance of power abroad while the foundations at home quietly failed. And now the republic is screaming at the wreckage and calling the scream a plan. Hubris. Nemesis. It arrives on schedule. It always does.
