It's a shame what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the people.
The BBC also published an obituary, Sir Patrick Stewart: Actor who moved effortlessly between Star Trek and Shakespeare.
He was a great human being and incomparable on stage and screen, where he led The Next Generation where no one has gone before. May he rest in peace.
This is a gross oversimplification and wrong. There are different types of investors, and only a few make it into the news, among those are the ones you are mentioning.
Europe will never be China.
This is what we all hope.
This is what AI is for.
No, this is not what AI is for. This is what dictatorships here and there are turning it into. Or, in a broader context: This is what we human beings do. This is a human mistake that is - in this case - done in the Chinese Communist Party.
Your 'link' is just a form of whataboutism. I provided two other sources that come to the same conclusion, and there are many more that prove China is not a trusted player in AI, very much as it isn't in all other areas. The fact that the US government isn't reliable either has nothing to do with.
The expected whataboutism.
I fully agree, but the thing here is this doctor who was accused of a sex crime he didn't commit. They can't simply throw out a chatbot without a human being to be held accountable. This is one of the major threats of LLMs in my opinion: the danger isn't the LLM itself, but its creator's attempt to reject any human responsibility.
the country that actually is providing solutions to those problems: China
China heavily depends on fossil fuels to 'provide solutions to those problems.' If we rely on China, it gets worse. China is the world's top emitter of CO2. A third of global emissions is produced in China (second is the US with 12%, India below 8%, while the EU ranks fourth with 6.5%).
Since 2000, emissions in China have increased by +260%. In the EU emissions the decreased by -30%.
China's own five-year plan provides evidence that consumption of fossil fuels in thecountry will rise by 2030.
I'm dissatisfied with a lot of European politics, but framing China as a solution is complete fantasy. China is worse by any comparable standards. Environmental and social norms exist at best on paper while the ruling Chinese Communis Party's one and only goal is its self-preservation at all human and ecological costs.
I switched to Linux many years ago, but now I am a bit worried which path it will take.
Switching between the systems would also require new terminals and supporting equipment, complicating efforts to replace existing services.
This is what you get if you use proprietary stuff instead of Open Source.
Sounds like a good summary.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Welcome in 2026.
I hope we in the Western democracies will re-industrialize quick and everything that possible on our own again, and I am a big fan of open source.
But even then, I don't think that China will stop being a rogue state. The Chinese government will remain the biggest threat actor.
It's the usual foreign interference by the bully disrespecting international law.
For BYD and other Chinese tech companies, enabling surveillance isn't a bug but rather a feature.
China is the nation’s “top threat”.
Yes. And this is no surprise. Chinese carmakers, very much as any Chinese companies, operate under the rule of the Chinese party-state. The regime in Beijing suppresses dissent, people forcibly disappear, they even threaten your family members if you are deemed to be a threat to the party, and it purposefully misleads its own population through a ruthless disinformation machinery, just to name some examples.
Does that mean they’ll invest in local industries and become more technologically and resource sovereign? Will they educate their citizens about democracy, critical thinking, and how to recognise propaganda? Will they stop trying to legislate backdoors into all technology, reduce surveillance, and data collection?
Not that these you questions have anything to do with the linked article's topic, but a change in economic policy has already been going on for some time. It's slow and late, and I hope it gets a bit better with cooperation with the EU, Canada, New Zealand, and others.
An EU alliance could also help with better privacy laws, amongst others. But we must fight for more democracy. It's a battle that never ends as human rights are not a given. Just look at China.
[Edit typo.]
Both are completely insane. But I agree with the rest of your comment.
