and the China leather industry Association in 2001 wjo City in jjang province has enjoyed over two decades of prosperity thriving on its reputation in the Footwear industry however in the present day the once- thriving owners of shoe factories are expressing profound sorrow due to the Grim circumstances that one Joe shoe factories are currently grappling with according to a factory owner in previous years around this time his factories would be at their busiest it's year end and it felt like they were filling a bag with money but this year is different he explained that the reason is not a shortage of orders many factories are hesitant to accept orders because numerous companies have payment terms like payment made 3 months later March 1st or even payment made 6 months later 6/1 this means that for the shoes being manufactured now payment won't be received until after the new year however the factory still has to meet expenses such as worker salaries repayment of loans to suppliers utility bills and rent for factory space it's truly challenging for them they are unable to undertake substantial orders and they are reluctant to accept small orders because market conditions are extremely unfavorable if they encounter customers who default on payment or disappear they will have toiled for an entire year in vain the owner lamented that moving forward feels like an endless abyss and stepping back is like facing a cliff 1,000 ft high it's incredibly incredibly tough amid tightening monetary conditions and a challenging real estate market China's economic prospects look Bleak according to a reuer survey China's economic growth is projected to slow down to 4.6% in 2024 further decreasing to 4.5% in 2025 on January 15th The People's Bank of China pboc announced that it would maintain the one-year policy lending rate at its current level disappointing investors who had anticipated a rate cut given that financing and lending growth in December 2023

disappointed nor surprised by the Chinese government's actions but he believes that China is in for another tough year in 2024 lack of confidence in the Chinese economy is not limited to domestic investors due to ongoing tightening monetary conditions persistent pessimistic Market sentiment and unremarkable policy support overseas investors have resumed selling Chinese domestic stocks in the

Global fund sold 7.9 billion yuan approximately $1.1 billion worth of stocks in the first two weeks of 2024 following substantial stock purchases in the final week of the previous year this sell-off may result in a sixth consecutive month of capital outflows in January China's military and government acquire Nvidia chips despite us ban according to a writers review of tender documents Chinese military bodies State rent artificial intelligence research institutes and universities have over the past year purchased small batches of Nvidia semiconductors banned by the United States from export to China the sales by largely unknown Chinese suppliers highlight the difficulties Washington faces despite its bands and completely cutting off China's access to Advanced us chips that could fuel breakthroughs in artificial intelligence Ai and sophisticated computers for its military buying or selling high-end us chips isn't illegal in China and the publicly available tender documents showed that dozens of Chinese entities have bought and taken receipt of Nvidia semiconductors since the restrictions were imposed these include it's a 100 and the more powerful h100 ship whose exports to China and Hong Kong were banned in September 2022 as well as the slower a800 and h800 chips Nvidia then developed for the Chinese market but which in October 20203 were also banned the graphic processing units a type of Chip that are built by Nvidia are widely seen as far superior to rival products for AI work as they can more efficiently process huge amounts of data needed for machine learning tasks the continued demand for an access to banned Nvidia chips also underlines the lack of good alternatives for Chinese firms despite the nent development of rival products from Huawei and others before the bans Nvidia commanded a 90% share of China's AI chip Market purchasers included Elite universities as well as two entities subject to us export restrictions the Harbin Institute of Technology and the University of electronic Science and Technology of China which have been accused of involvement in military matters or of being Affiliated to a military body contrary to US national interest the former purchased 6 Nvidia a 100 chips in May 2023 to train a deep learning model the latter purchased 1 a00 in December 2022 its purpose wasn't identified the ruers review found neither Nvidia nor retailers approved by the company were among the suppliers identified it wasn't clear how the suppliers procured their Nvidia chips in the wake of us curbs however an underground market for such chips in China has sprung up Chinese vendors have previously said they snatch up excess stock that Finds Its way to the market after Nvidia ships large quantities to Big us firms or that they import through companies locally Incorporated in places such as India Taiwan and Singapore Nvidia said it complies with all applicable export control laws and requires its customers to do the same a company spokesperson said if we learn that a customer has made an unlawful resale to third parties will take immediate and appropriate action us authorities have vowed to close loopholes in the export restrictions and have moved to limit access to the chips by units of Chinese companies located outside China Chris Miller professor at tough's University and author of Chip War the fight for the world's most critical technology said it was unrealistic to think that us export restrictions could be watertight given that chips are small and can easily be smuggled he said the main aim is to throw sand in the gears of China's AI development by making it difficult to build large clusters of advanced chips capable of training AI systems after Washington banned in video from selling the graphics card RTX 490 to China in November last year although it launched the RTX 490d version specially produced for China last month according to the actual measurement of China super Network X preview the 490d is only 5% slower than the original version on average military AI buyers the review includes more than 100 Tenders in which state entities have procured a 100 ships and dozens of tenders since

chips in October 2023 and 1 h100 ship this month military Tenders in China are often heavily redacted and reiders wasn't able to learn who won the bids or the reason for the purchase most tenders show the chips are being used for AI the quantities of most purchases are however very small and far from what's needed to build a sophisticated AI large large language model from scratch a model similar to open ai's GPT would require more than 30,000 Nvidia a 100 cards according to research firm trendforce but a handful can run complex machine learning tasks and enhance existing AI mods in one example the Shandong artificial intelligence Institute awarded a 290,000 Yuan approximately $40,500 contract for 5 a100 chips to Shandong Ching xang Electronic Tech techology last month many of the tenders stipulate that suppliers have to deliver and install the products before receiving payment most universities also published notices showing the transaction was completed chingua University dub China's Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a prolific issuer of tenders and has purchased some adaa 100 chips since the 20122 ban in December 2023 Chongqing University published a tender for one a 100 chip that explicitly stated it couldn't be secondhand or disassembled but had to be brand new according to a notice the delivery was completed this month Taiwan election awakens Chinese nen's

possibility of reelection if you continue to post I might even shed tears they also included three crying emojis in their post someone else mentioned with the Taiwan elections now decided the Democratic Progressive parties like chingi has been elected as president this is the choice of taiwan's 23 million people who gets elected is not as important as voters having their say the vote represents the will of the people and those without votes can only vote with their feet the places people rushed are not Paradise but eies and the places they flee from are not hell but prisons political commentator XE sheli pointed out that the Taiwan election once again exposed three major falsehoods used by the CCP to deceive the people of mainland China first the CCP claims to serve the people but true service to the people would involve high ranking officials including the party leader bowing to the Common People second the ccp's definition of democracy such as the people's Democratic dictatorship and democracy throughout the process is merely a cover for its authoritarian rule true democracy entails the people's right to vote and choose their leaders Joe sha we emphasized that while the Taiwan election Delta to Beijing it also awakened more Mainland Chinese people making them realize the kind of society they should live in and the type of leaders who genuinely Serve the People this is precisely what the CCP fears the most similarly Yuan Ben another political commentator stated that now that the Taiwan election has concluded reflecting on the entire process who suffered the most significant loss in this election I believe it wasn't the Quan Tang or the people first party but the Chinese Communist party which exerted its utmost efforts
