The Chinese provider announced a platform dedicated to AI technologies under the name Enterprise Intelligence. It also plans to build a global cloud network based on the airline alliance model. Among the partners chosen to implement it are: Orange, Deutsche Telekom, BT and Telefónica.

Huawei multiplied its announcements around the cloud during its Connect conference held in Shanghai from September 5 to 7. After yesterday unveiling a strengthened partnership with Microsoft to integrate the latter’s applications into its public cloud infrastructure, the Chinese provider revealed that it is working on an AI-based platform called Enterprise Intelligence. In doing so, you indicated your intention to break into the Top 5 cloud providers worldwide (if you didn’t name a competitor, it’s clear that you plan to compete with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM BlueMix). It was Guo Ping, the current CEO of Huawei (the leadership of the company is alternately held by different leaders), who presented Enterprise Intelligence. He took the opportunity to highlight the alliances entered into, for example with GE and Honewell who have chosen the Chinese group as their cloud provider to deploy IoT solutions in different activity sectors,

After Guo Ping, Zheng Yelai, the president of the cloud business, also cited Volkswagen, which uses Huawei’s HPC services to run simulations in its design applications, or Philips’ medical division which manages 8.1 million medical devices through the Chinese operator. The Enterprise Intelligence cloud platform will offer services in deep learning, graph analysis, machine learning, AI model training and indexing. In particular, it will have the ability to process video in real time and identify elements in documents and images. It will also provide speech recognition and natural language processing APIs. According to Zheng Yelai, its optical character recognition techniques deliver a sharpness of 97.37%.

Road traffic: analysis of 10 million images / day in Shenzhen
Affiliated cities will also be able to use Enterprise Intelligence services for applications related to road traffic, a platform that will enable searches in 100 billion images per second. Huawei gave the example of the Traffic Brain project set up by the megalopolis of Shenzhen, which has a total population of 22 million and must handle heavy traffic. The idea is to use a dedicated, high-speed network to enable police to capture traffic data from the city for up to 700 million entries per month. An Enterprise Intelligence-assisted application would capture 10 million images per day. “The technology should be able to detect a vehicle that should not have been on the road,” said a spokesperson for the project.

These capabilities are based on work Huawei has done on mass video networks, mentioned earlier by Guo Ping. The latter cited the example of a child abduction in Qingdao, Shandong Province. In this metropolitan area of 10 million inhabitants, police managed to identify via video the face of a woman suspected of having abducted the little girl. Later, police were able to identify the woman in an image database, which was used to locate the hotel where she was staying, and located the minor.

A global cloud network based on the airline alliance model
At a press conference, Zheng Yelai later said that Huawei plans to build a global cloud network based on the alliance model used by airlines, where airlines provide global services to their customers. The alliance will include telecom companies such as the French group Orange, Deutsche Telekom, BT and Telefónica (Orange is already working with the Chinese provider). “Each country has different requirements and to serve customers we need these partners,” Zheng Yelai explained.

“Some of these operators have been serving their countries for more than 100 years and have built trusting relationships with their customers, especially governments and large corporations,” said the head of the cloud entity. He added that Huawei is committed to building on that trust. In his presentation, he said that 95% of China’s top 1000 companies use Huawei’s cloud technologies, as do 197 Fortune 500 companies. For its security architecture, the Chinese group relies on its own chipsets.

Huawei is already working on 6G while 5G is still in its infancy . Anxious to maintain its leadership in the field of network infrastructures, facing rivals such as Ericsson and Nokia, the Chinese group has opened a major test laboratory reserved for the 6G network in Canada.

Huawei has just opened a 6G test laboratory in Ottawa (Canada), report our colleagues from MyDrivers. Apparently, the firm has already started to develop the standards of this future network based on the already existing 5G technology.

LIKE SAMSUNG, HUAWEI IS ALREADY WORKING ON 6G: DEPLOYMENT FROM 2030?
The Canadian research center works hand in hand with 13 universities and research institutes and has a budget of $ 50 million. Thanks to this substantial investment, the firm hopes to maintain its lead in the network infrastructure market. Huawei is indeed the leader in 5G, with 50 commercial contracts worldwide , ahead of Nokia and Ericsson. The group has even filed 20% of total patents related to 5G technology. This leadership is due to significant investments from the inception of the network, and by 2009 Huawei had invested up to $ 600 million in 5G.

Unsurprisingly, Huawei specifies that research on 6G is still in its infancy . The first steps of the technology will not take place before 2030. By then, the 5G network will have been deployed all over the world. According to Huawei, 58% of the world’s population will be covered in 5G by 2025 , which is equivalent to 2.8 billion people.

Moreover, Huawei is not the first company to take an interest in the advent of 6G a little in advance. Last June, Samsung opened a 6G research and development department in Seoul (South Korea). What do you think ? Share your opinion in the comments.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of global technology, the semiconductor industry stands as a critical pillar, influencing everything from consumer electronics to national security. Over the past decade, China has been steadily advancing its capabilities in chip and integrated circuit (IC) production, positioning itself as a formidable competitor against traditional leaders like the United States. This article explores China’s strategic moves in the semiconductor sector, highlighting key companies and developments that underscore its growing supremacy in this critical field.

Strategic Investments and Policy Support

China’s rise in the semiconductor industry is underpinned by significant government support and strategic investments. The “Made in China 2025” initiative, launched in 2015, prioritizes the development of high-tech industries, including semiconductors, aiming to reduce dependence on foreign technology and enhance domestic capabilities. This policy framework has facilitated substantial funding and incentives for domestic chipmakers, accelerating their growth and innovation.

Leading Chinese Semiconductor Companies

Several Chinese companies have emerged as key players in the global semiconductor market, challenging established U.S. firms. Here are a few notable examples:

1. SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation) – As China’s largest and most advanced semiconductor foundry, SMIC has been rapidly expanding its production capabilities. Despite facing export restrictions from the U.S., SMIC continues to invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, aiming to close the gap with global leaders like TSMC and Samsung.
2. Huawei’s HiSilicon – Although primarily known for its telecommunications equipment, Huawei’s subsidiary HiSilicon has made significant strides in designing high-end chips for smartphones and networking equipment. The Kirin series of processors, used in Huawei smartphones, is a testament to HiSilicon’s design capabilities.
3. Unigroup ZYMEC – Specializing in memory chips, Unigroup ZYMEC has been expanding its production capacity to meet the growing demand for NAND flash and DRAM chips. The company’s aggressive expansion plans are part of China’s broader strategy to reduce reliance on foreign memory chip suppliers.

Challenges for the U.S. Semiconductor Industry

The U.S. semiconductor industry, once the undisputed leader, faces several challenges in maintaining its dominance. Key issues include:

• Geopolitical Tensions – Ongoing trade disputes and geopolitical tensions have led to increased scrutiny and restrictions on technology exports to China, potentially limiting U.S. companies’ access to one of the world’s largest markets.
• Competition from Chinese Firms – As Chinese companies continue to improve their technological capabilities and receive substantial government support, they are becoming increasingly competitive, posing a significant challenge to U.S. firms.
• Investment Disparity – The level of investment in China’s semiconductor industry far exceeds that of many U.S. firms, allowing Chinese companies to rapidly scale up and innovate.

China’s ascendancy in the chip and IC production sector is reshaping the global semiconductor landscape. With strategic investments, supportive policies, and the rise of domestic champions, China is not only enhancing its self-sufficiency but also challenging the traditional dominance of U.S. firms. As the competition intensifies, it remains to be seen how the U.S. will respond to these challenges and whether it can regain its footing in this critical sector. However, one thing is clear: the “chip battle” is far from over, and the next few years will be pivotal in determining the future of global semiconductor leadership.

In Spain, almost everyone was surprised by China’s decision to increase its climate ambitions and reach zero by 2060, recalls Antxon Olabe, environmental economist and advisor to the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition. But having followed China’s climate geopolitics closely for years, he believes that “this was the only smart strategy,” adding that “China’s leaders are very knowledgeable and work with a long-term horizon.”

Days before President Xi Jinping’s announcement on September 22, Olabe released a paper calling for an EU-China agreement that would strengthen climate ambitions. He suggested that China reach its peak emissions this year (rather than before 2030, as it has pledged) given the delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

“To face the climate emergency, China and the EU need each other, because neither party is capable of solving a problem that is global in its causes and consequences,” he wrote.

Both the Spanish public and private sectors recognize that China plays a crucial role in addressing the global climate challenge and expect China to help deploy the green technologies the country needs to meet its climate goals.

Spain’s climate action goals have been heavily influenced by European Union policymaking, said Mario Esteban, a researcher at the Royal Elcano Institute, a Madrid-based international affairs think tank. To translate these EU targets into domestic policy, the government recently approved a long-term decarbonization strategy that aims to increase the share of renewable energy production in final energy consumption to 97% by 2050.

Whether this goal is achieved will depend on how the renewable energy market develops in the coming years, and experts see China as a key player in this area. Technology cooperation will be essential given China’s role in lowering the cost of low-carbon technologies and their large-scale production.

“China provides a large part of the raw materials that Spain and Europe need to become low-carbon,” says Alicia Valero, head of the industrial ecology group at the Instituto CIRCE. She warns that China controls the production of rare earth elements, which are needed for the development of wind power, among other green technologies, and that it is also the largest producer of graphite by some distance.

This fact, Valero says, underscores how much Spain’s ecological transition depends on China, which she describes as “very worrying” given China’s restrictions on the export of rare earth elements. ten years ago. As a solution, she offers urban mining. But for that, she warns, Spain will have to invest in developing recycling technology for its electronic waste.

Others are more optimistic, focusing on the positive impact that Chinese investments in green technologies have had in Spain. In August this year, Chinese energy giant Three Gorges bought 13 solar parks in Spain from Madrid-based company X-Elio in a deal for an undisclosed amount. The photovoltaic plants, built between 2019 and 2020, have a total capacity of more than 500 MW.

China’s investment in renewable energy has propelled the country to become the undisputed number one in the world [in the sector], and allowed solar PV in Spain to be so cheap that it is finally competitive, achieving this called ‘grid parity’ without being subsidized, “said Jacobo Sanz, who works as a branch manager in Spain for Solis, a Chinese manufacturer of solar inverters.

In terms of investment in renewable energy capacities (excluding large hydroelectric plants) in 2019, China “retained the lead” with $91.2 billion, followed by Europe with $61.2 billion. billion, according to the latest report on the state of photovoltaics conducted by the European Commission.

Unión Fotovoltaica Española (UNEF), the Spanish photovoltaic industry association, agrees that China has played a “key role” in lowering the cost of solar photovoltaic production in Spain, where the cost of a complete photovoltaic installation is now 95% cheaper than a decade ago, according to UNEF data. The association’s executive director, José Donoso, said that most photovoltaic modules used in Spain come from China.

The country is prone to excruciating air pollution, fears climate change and wants to become a “monster” of the renewable energy industry.

HAINING, CHINA – Barely thicker than a sheet of paper, the silicon plates are about six inches by six inches each and have thin bands of silver. They arrive in the factory by the thousands, packaged in cardboard boxes, before leaving a few hours later.

These plates are actually solar panels. In this factory, a two-hour drive from Shanghai, workers dressed in bright blue uniforms are at the controls of the machines that assemble them row after row into more familiar-looking panels ready to be installed. on rooftops into a vast array and transform the sun’s rays into electricity.

Chinese industry has transformed the renewable energy economy around the world, making solar power generation competitive with electricity from fossil fuels like natural gas or even coal. It has also democratized change, thanks to China’s investment in clean energy (the largest in the world), driven in part by the desire to reduce the appalling air pollution that kills around 1 year. , 1 million of its inhabitants.

“The number of installations is absolutely staggering,” says Lauri Myllyvirta, energy and air pollution expert at Greenpeace in Beijing. In 2016 alone, China added 35 gigawatts of solar power. “It’s almost the equivalent of Germany’s total capacity, in just a year,” he explains.

According to Greenpeace estimates , China is erecting a new wind turbine every hour and installing enough solar panels to cover a soccer field.

AFTER-COAL
After years of ignoring the air quality crisis, the result of decades of rampant industrialization, China’s leaders have finally taken steps to resolve it. Since coal is the source of around 40% of the most dangerous fine particles in the country’s air, the search for alternative solutions has become a priority. China’s goal is to produce 20% of its energy from renewable energy sources by 2030; to this end, it recently announced that it would invest 360 billion dollars over the next three years.

In the Yangtze River Delta, a region known for its economic dynamism, Jinko Solar is one of the companies that has emerged to meet this demand. It also exports its solar equipment to the United States, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and all over the world. Last year, it produced panels with an electricity generating capacity equivalent to that of around 10 coal-fired power plants.

In Haining, as the factory floor shines and a faint breath serves as the only background sound, red robot arms rise and twist, moving panels from post to post. Equipped with white masks covering their face and head or colorful baseball caps screwed to their heads, workers test and adjust the layers that accumulate, the parts sealed in ready-made modules and the wires that protrude from them. ‘a small black box mounted on the back.

While air pollution is not the only reason for China’s recognition of the importance of renewable energies, it has played a key role. In a major agreement signed with President Obama in 2014, President Xi Jinping pledged to reduce Chinese CO2 emissions responsible for global warming by 2030: a promise that has become the centerpiece of his commitments within the framework of of the Paris climate agreement.

It now appears that China is ahead of its agenda. As reliable as the official figures may be, they nevertheless indicate a drop in coal consumption in 2016 for the third consecutive year , the main driver of China’s carbon emissions. The country has understood that this decision to reduce coal is in its own interest (the fuel powers much of its heavy industry and produces electricity); this trend is likely to continue despite the abandonment by the United States, under the Trump administration, of former President Obama’s dedicated climate program.

China is responsible for half of the world’s coal consumption, so this is good news not only for the health of Chinese citizens, but also for the broader effort to curb the surge. of global warming.

“To be completely honest, I think these measures would not have been taken so quickly and in the face of so little resistance if they had not been motivated by the problem of air pollution,” says Myllyvirta . “It’s hard to dispute them and deny the obvious when you breathe the poisonous Beijing air. ”

FAILURES IN THE NETWORK
The development of renewable energies has not been easy. Vast fields of wind turbines have been built in the sparsely populated areas of the northwest, far from the big cities where electricity needs are greatest, and the construction of power transmission lines to supply them with electricity does did not follow.

“They are building huge wind farms but have no connection to the grid,” explains Antung Liu of Indiana University at Bloomington. “They take the posture of, ‘let’s build and hope we can use it later.’ ”

In addition, network operators have shown a bias in favor of coal production and clean energy has sometimes been unused even when the connections exist. According to Greenpeace estimates, 19% of Chinese wind power was wasted in the first three quarters of last year.

Leaders are now starting to take these issues into account, installing new power lines and focusing on building smaller wind farms and solar power plants in densely populated areas.

Initially, China’s effort “was just to increase the number of gigawatts,” says Jukka-Pekka Mäkinen, CEO of The Switch, a Finnish company that produces components for wind power in China. “It is now a question of maintaining the number of gigawatts, but in a much smarter way by focusing on regions where consumption is high. ”

Despite these efforts, China continues to build coal-fired power plants, not least because of an incentive policy that encourages local officials to allow redundant construction, even as the central government seeks to push for cleaner options. However, officials have canceled some planned, well aware that China already produces more coal-fired electricity than it needs.

AN INDUSTRIAL MONSTER
Pollution is not the only cause behind this enthusiasm for renewable energies. Leaders see clean energy as a powerful job creation driver.

“It’s about establishing industrial dominance,” explains Antung Liu. “China sees green energy as an opportunity to become an industrial monster just as it has seen in textiles and toys. ”

Whatever his motivations, the consequences of this attraction for clean energies on the part of China are already being felt. The richest countries that once used China as a pretext to evade their own inaction are now watching it overtake them at full speed to become a world leader on the climate issue.

“Everyone kept repeating: ‘China did not sign the Kyoto accord'”, the 1997 climate agreement, recalls Jukka-Pekka Mäkinen. ” So what ? It has done more than all the countries put together. ”

The 5G is just beginning to be deployed around the world that the race for the 6G has already begun. According to Yicai Global , China has just put 13 new satellites into orbit , including the very first 6G satellite. This technology promises data transfers up to 100 times faster than 5G, as well as reduced latency to less than a millisecond.

Chinese researchers want to study the performance of 6G in space. The next mobile standard is expected to enable lossless transmissions and reduced power consumption over long distance communications. Where 5G uses millimeter frequencies up to 30 gigahertz, this new generation of communications moves into the terahertz frequency band.

Marketing not before 2028
This experimental satellite also carries optical sensors to provide images taken in orbit, as well as to monitor natural disasters such as forest fires and floods , or to observe crops and water resources. The take-off took place from the Taiyuan launch base and marks the first entry into orbit of foreign aircraft by the Chinese Long March 6 rocket . It has deployed ten Argentine NewSat satellites in addition to two other Chinese satellites, Beihangxingsat-1 and Bayi 03.

This next mobile standard should allow new applications in mixed reality , which mixes virtual and augmented reality , as well as the use of volumetric holograms . However, we should not expect to encounter this technology anytime soon. According to Samsung’s schedule , the first 6G networks will not be operational until at least 2028.

In a series of bold and controversial statements, tech billionaire Elon Musk has laid out what he describes as the core motivations behind his acquisition of Twitter: to run “social proof” against nations, generate profits worldwide, prevent governments from blocking social media access, and utilize AI to generate content that challenges authorities—even alleging that governments are jamming his satellites to protect corrupt systems.

These remarks, while fragmented and provocative, open a window into a new era of tech-driven geopolitical influence, where private platform owners wield unprecedented power over global discourse.

The “Social Proof” Doctrine
Musk’s notion of applying “social proof” against countries suggests using the platform as a barometer of public sentiment to hold governments accountable. In theory, a free and open Twitter could expose propaganda, highlight dissent, and create transparency. However, critics argue this amounts to digital interference—using a global platform to pressure sovereign nations, particularly in regions like Argentina, where Musk has pointed to profit motives alongside this mission. The blending of ideological and commercial goals raises questions about whose interests are truly being served.

AI, Fake Content, and Provocation
Perhaps the most alarming element of Musk’s statement is the admission of using AI to “generate fake comments and content which provokes people against their governments.” If true, this would mark a dramatic and dangerous escalation in information warfare. Rather than merely hosting free speech, the platform would actively fabricate sentiment to stir unrest. Such tactics risk destabilizing societies, undermining legitimate protest, and eroding the already fragile trust in digital public squares.

Satellite Jamming and the Fight for Access
Musk also claims that governments are jamming satellites—a likely reference to Starlink’s role in providing internet bypass—to prevent people from accessing social media. His framing casts this as a battle between open networks and authoritarian control. Indeed, in conflict zones and censored regions, satellite internet can be a lifeline. Yet, positioning himself as the guardian of global access also centralizes immense control in one individual’s hands, with little oversight.

The Corruption Narrative
By alleging that satellite jamming is intended to “make it difficult to create corruption in the world,” Musk inverts the typical corruption narrative. He implies that exposing governments via social media fights corruption, while government resistance to his platforms enables it. This worldview places his companies on the side of moral clarity—a stance that many ethicists and diplomats find dangerously simplistic.

Broader Implications
Musk’s vision reflects a larger trend of tech oligarchs operating beyond the constraints of international law and diplomatic norms. When a private citizen can declare intent to run “social proof” against nations and deploy AI-generated content to provoke populations, it challenges the very foundations of state sovereignty and democratic process.

Moreover, the combination of AI-driven content manipulation and global satellite networks creates a potent toolkit for influence operations—one that could be used for both liberation and manipulation, often without clear distinction.

Elon Musk’s statements, whether seen as a transparent manifesto or strategic provocation, reveal the looming battleground of the 21st century: the fight over who controls information, who shapes public opinion, and who gets to define truth. As social media, AI, and satellite technology converge under private control, the world must grapple with urgent questions of accountability, ethics, and power.

The promise of a free internet is noble; the reality of its weaponization is already here. Whether Musk’s approach will foster global accountability or deepen chaos remains one of the defining questions of our digital age.

Social media platforms employ Large Language Models (LLMs) to create misleading comments, captions, data, and other AI-generated content that can influence public opinion. Recently, these platforms have successfully orchestrated manipulations that have incited revolutions in various countries and encouraged individuals to participate in conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia. In this article, we examine the reasons to be cautious about mass comments and the psychological tactics that drive this manipulation. The approach is simple: “Persuade your audience that what you want—while hiding your true intentions—is what the majority (made up of fake accounts and AI bots) are expressing!” This is called social proof technique!

The Art of Manipulation: How Perception Shapes Reality in the Digital Age

In an era dominated by social media and digital communication, the power of influence has taken on new dimensions. One of the most insidious tactics employed by those seeking to manipulate public opinion is the strategy of convincing an audience that their desires align with the majority—while cleverly concealing the true intentions behind this narrative. This phenomenon is often orchestrated through the use of fake accounts and AI bots, creating an illusion of consensus that can sway even the most discerning individuals.

The Mechanics of Manipulation

At its core, this manipulation relies on a psychological principle known as social proof. Humans are inherently social creatures, often looking to the behavior and opinions of others to guide their own decisions. When individuals perceive that a particular viewpoint is widely accepted, they are more likely to adopt that perspective themselves. This is where the manipulation begins.

By flooding social media platforms with comments, likes, and shares from fake accounts and AI-generated content, manipulators can create the illusion of a majority opinion. This orchestrated chorus of voices can make a specific narrative seem not only popular but also credible. The result is a powerful echo chamber that reinforces the desired message, leading real users to believe that they are part of a larger movement.

The Role of AI and Automation

The rise of artificial intelligence has made it easier than ever to execute this strategy. AI tools can generate realistic comments and posts at an unprecedented scale, allowing manipulators to craft a narrative that appears organic. These bots can engage in conversations, respond to queries, and even mimic the language and tone of genuine users, further blurring the lines between reality and fabrication.

Moreover, the anonymity provided by the internet allows these actors to operate without fear of accountability. They can create multiple fake accounts, each contributing to the illusion of a widespread consensus, while their true intentions remain hidden from view.

Psychological Techniques for manipulation

There are several psychological techniques that can be employed to manipulate the minds of the masses. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Fear Appeals: This technique involves instilling fear to motivate people to act or change their beliefs. By highlighting potential threats or dangers, manipulators can push individuals toward a desired response.
2. Scarcity: Creating a sense of scarcity or urgency can drive people to act quickly. When individuals believe that something is in limited supply or time-sensitive, they may be more likely to make impulsive decisions.
3. Bandwagon Effect: This is a form of social proof where individuals are influenced to adopt a belief or behavior because they perceive that many others are doing the same. The idea is that if everyone else is on board, it must be the right choice.
4. Authority: People are often more likely to follow the advice or directives of someone they perceive as an authority figure. This technique leverages the credibility of experts or influential individuals to sway public opinion.
5. Emotional Appeals: Manipulators may use emotional storytelling or imagery to evoke strong feelings, such as empathy, anger, or joy. These emotions can drive people to support a cause or take action.
6. Cognitive Dissonance: This technique involves creating a sense of discomfort when a person’s beliefs or actions are inconsistent. By highlighting this dissonance, manipulators can encourage individuals to change their beliefs or behaviors to align with the desired outcome.
7. Repetition: Repeated exposure to a message can lead to increased acceptance. The more often people hear or see a particular idea, the more likely they are to believe it.
8. Framing: The way information is presented can significantly influence perception. By framing an issue in a particular light—such as emphasizing positive outcomes or negative consequences—manipulators can shape how people interpret the information.
9. In-group/Out-group Dynamics: This technique involves creating a sense of belonging among a specific group while demonizing or dehumanizing those outside of it. This can foster loyalty and encourage individuals to adopt extreme views or actions in defense of their group.
10. Misinformation and Disinformation: Spreading false or misleading information can create confusion and alter perceptions. This can be used to undermine trust in credible sources and promote a specific agenda.

By understanding these techniques, individuals can become more aware of how their thoughts and behaviors may be influenced and develop critical thinking skills to resist manipulation.

The Consequences of Manipulation

The implications of this manipulation are profound. When individuals are swayed by a fabricated majority, they may find themselves supporting causes or ideologies that they would not have otherwise endorsed. This can lead to real-world consequences, such as political unrest, social division, and even violence, as seen in various global conflicts.

The recent war between Ukraine and Russia serves as a stark example. Social media campaigns have been employed to shape narratives, rally support, and even incite action, all while obscuring the true motivations behind these efforts. The manipulation of public opinion through artificial means can have devastating effects on societies, eroding trust and fostering division.

Recognizing the Tactics

To combat this form of manipulation, it is essential for individuals to develop critical thinking skills and media literacy. Here are some strategies to help recognize and resist these tactics:

1. Question the Consensus: Just because a viewpoint appears to be popular does not mean it is valid. Take the time to research and understand the issue from multiple perspectives.
2. Verify Sources: Look for credible sources of information and be wary of content that lacks transparency. Check the authenticity of accounts and the origins of the information being shared.
3. Engage Thoughtfully: Participate in discussions with a critical mindset. Avoid jumping on bandwagons and instead seek to understand the motivations behind the narratives being presented.
4. Promote Transparency: Advocate for greater transparency in social media algorithms and the use of AI in content generation. Support platforms that prioritize authentic engagement over artificial manipulation.

Conclusion

The strategy of convincing an audience that their desires align with a fabricated majority is a powerful tool in the hands of manipulators. By understanding the mechanics behind this manipulation and developing critical thinking skills, individuals can better navigate the complexities of the digital landscape. In a world where perception often shapes reality, it is crucial to remain vigilant and discerning, ensuring that our beliefs and actions are truly our own.

With its 7 nm engraving, the Chinese smelter SMIC foiled many predictions that saw the impossible or at least the unviable minimum. For example, the company’s foundries released the HiSilicon Kirin 9000S SoCs in 7 nm in 2023 and then Kirin 9010 in 2024, which equip Huawei smartphones, which are certainly sold at high prices but are very successful and show that this is not only possible but also viable, in part it must also be said thanks to the Chinese government’s help that does not skil the money in subsidies.

It is recalled that to etch in 7 nm, Chinese farmers have no choice but to use the DUV (Deep Ultra Violet) technology to engrave its chips, not having access to the USV (Extreme Ultra Violet) lithography of the firm ASML. The result is etching both longer and with a much higher initial failure rate in DUV. As you will have understood, much more expensive production, more than four times more expensive puts some analysts, even if things then improve a little over time, as the rate of chess falls. We can better understand why Huawei smartphones with HiSilicon chips are so expensive despite performances that are not revolutionary.

The rumor of the day comes from the Business Korea website, which reports that the 5 nm will now be ready at SMIC. Yes, yes, 5 nm. So obviously ‘loan’ does not mean ‘viable’ and whatever the information happens is to be taken with tweezers, but the founder would work hard, no doubt again being subsidies to help him, to make it commercially exploitable as quickly as possible according to the noises of corridors, whereas the DUV would obviously still be required.

This would make sense at any rate while other rumors in recent weeks are talking about the future Huawei Mate 70 smartphone series, expected by the end of 2024 and which would bring a nice performance gain compared to the current Huawei Mate 60 and Huawei Pura 70 in Kirin 9010 or 9000S. Is the switch to 5 nm one of the reasons?

Cryptocurrencies have been entering the world of mainstream finance at a steady pace over the last few years, winning over an ever-growing number of investors looking to diversify their portfolios and make them more robust. The thing that attracted most investors to the marketplace in the first place is that it is so new and innovative. While investors search for the latest ADA price prediction figures before trading on Binance, it’s not all about the highest returns for many. A sizable portion of investors is interested because they believe cryptocurrencies are the future of finance, as their decentralized system has been discussed as a valid possibility for traditional finance systems as well, due to the transparency it can provide.

The sophisticated technology is one of the main reasons why investors have been apprehensive about giving cryptocurrencies a chance in the past, with many believing they lack the knowledge necessary to navigate this environment. However, interest in cryptocurrencies has been growing due to their potential, and traders have been trying to understand the intricacies of the assets even more. Even institutional investors have been looking to integrate crypto into their portfolios, showing that the marketplace is growing and becoming more reliable and trustworthy in the eyes of investors.

AI and blockchain

The blockchain has largely been connected with crypto transactions so far, but researchers think it could help other ecosystems develop as well. Supply chains and logistics are among the areas where it could prove to be most useful. Side by side with the blockchain is artificial intelligence, another development that is widely believed to have the potential to fundamentally change businesses and organizations. When it comes to the latter, it seems like the race has already begun to determine who will make the most of what AI has to offer. In a very short time, the tech has stopped being a novelty and evolved to be considered something of a necessity for companies operating in very different niches.

Some are looking to combine the two, with decentralized, AI-powered marketplaces gaining more followers. In these ecosystems, small and medium-sized businesses can pay for and use AI the same way as they would all other apps. Marketing, reporting, and finance are the sectors that are most likely to benefit at the moment, with payments completed in either fiat, stablecoins, or the native tokens of the platforms. These services are typically backed by hyperscale providers as they require considerable computing power. The assistance from these providers boosts enterprise-grade reliability and the reach of co-marketing endeavors.

Stablecoins

As cryptocurrencies become increasingly trustworthy in the eyes of the general public, they are also integrated into mainstream finance in increasing numbers. Some countries have already started experimenting with stablecoins as well. These tokens bypass volatility concerns as they’re able to maintain their value due to being backed by a different asset. Fiat currencies, commodities, and even other cryptocurrencies can be used for this purpose.

Recently, South Korea announced the launch of a won-backed stablecoin on a newly launched blockchain platform. The company, which is based in Busan, signed a memorandum of understanding in order to develop and deploy KRW1 on the network as part of an “organic cooperative framework”, a move believed to be beneficial for South Korea’s status as a crypto hub. The innovation could extend to other areas as well, helping more nations develop their stablecoins. Regulatory standards are still discussed, with experts saying that clear rules are needed for all issuers, whether they’re banks or not.

Web3 Wallet

Binance has joined forces with a blockchain data platform to give those who use Web3 wallets further insights into the dangers of token manipulations and insider trading. This integration has the potential to help millions of users employ blockchain data visualization tools in order to have a comprehensive look at token distribution and on-chain wallet clusters alike. The purpose here is to add more transparency to the trading experience as well as identify coordinated market behavior more efficiently.

The need for transparent blockchain practices continues to grow as the number of users grows as well. Users want to have clear insights into what’s going on so that they can make better decisions for their portfolios. While crypto trading can seem like a matter of luck most of the time, the truth is that a lot of it is based on the careful analysis of metrics and market movements.

Decentralized finance

Decentralized finance, or DeFi, is a system of financial services powered by blockchain technology rather than traditional third parties. Peer-to-peer transactions are enabled by the network, with lending, trading, and borrowing using smart contracts to automate the processes. The blockchain and crypto are used for transactions, and since the programs are self-executing, they carry out the terms of the agreements on their own when conditions are met.

Global payments are much faster when decentralized finance is used, investors have more control over their funds, and the yields have the potential to be much higher as well. However, researchers and investors point out that automated wallet protections are needed as well, as passive vaults can leave users exposed and vulnerable. At the moment, many wallets essentially operate as passive vaults, meaning that they still rely on constant input from the users, something that can be quite detrimental in a fast-paced marketplace such as crypto.

Automatic protections or the possibility of auto-selling are needed, and their lack has caused large numbers of users to lose considerable amounts of capital in the past. Creating more safety nets is something that should definitely be considered for the future so that traders are protected even when they are offline or asleep. Investors shouldn’t be forced to be in a constant state of vigilance, and this fundamental flaw can actually cause a lot of harm.

If you’re an investor, remember to keep up with the latest news from the marketplace. The ecosystem changes fast, and the only way to ensure your continuous success is to make sure you’re aware of what’s going on around you. Being knowledgeable about the market’s intricacies and predictions will allow you to come up with more comprehensive strategies so that your portfolio continues to grow.

People who live in fraud queues want fewer headaches, not more dashboards. This review looks at three graph options working on the same challenge. TigerGraph steps out first at https://www.tigergraph.com/solutions/anti-money-laundering-aml/, then Amazon Neptune and NebulaGraph join the scene. The aim is fairly clear. Turn streams of transactions and profiles into stories that help analysts decide quickly, while keeping auditors calm enough to finish coffee.

TigerGraph Turns Risk Networks Into Working Narratives

TigerGraph approaches anti money laundering work like a director who cares about both the script and the backstage crew. Entities, transactions, devices, alerts, and watchlists land in one connected structure that refreshes close to real time. Analysts see long trails and side hops instead of single events. Engineers get predictable patterns instead of surprise rules pushed into production on a Friday.

• Unifies alerts, counterparties, devices, and watchlists
• Handles complex multi hop typologies at production speed
• Feeds models with graph native risk signals

Investigations start to feel like following a map instead of guessing in the dark. Cases arrive with context, so effort goes into judgment rather than hunting basic facts.

Amazon Neptune Keeps AML Graphs Close To Cloud Comfort

Amazon Neptune lives inside a cloud ecosystem. It takes care of much of the plumbing for you, plugs into tools teams already know, and understands more than one graph query style. In an anti money laundering setting, those graphs live right beside existing data lakes, warehouses, and streaming pipelines that already carry the important feeds.

• Integrates neatly with surrounding cloud primitives
• Supports multiple graph query paradigms for flexibility
• Works smoothly with event driven ingestion patterns
• Scales read capacity as investigations grow busier

Architects can shape pipelines that feel consistent with their wider stack. Typology logic, graph structure, and freshness still require careful design and regular housekeeping.

NebulaGraph Chases Very Large AML Landscapes

NebulaGraph targets heavy graph workloads where edges accumulate quickly and rarely slow down. In anti money laundering programs this suits estates with many products, regions, and channels feeding one shared view of risk. The system separates storage and compute, which helps when teams need different performance at different moments.

• Stores and queries very high-volume graphs
• Offers distributed layouts for shared environments
• Keeps traversal performance steadier during peak hours

This style fits institutions that think long term about infrastructure. Steady graphs matter on peak days.

So Which Graph Would You Trust With Your Nightmares?

Each platform can serve anti money laundering analytics, yet their strengths differ. Neptune fits organizations that want a managed, cloud native engine close to an existing data plane. NebulaGraph suits teams comfortable shaping large distributed systems around ambitious graphs. TigerGraph often stands out where production speed, explainability, and relationship richness must coexist. It leans into connected stories rather than isolated alerts, captures feedback from outcomes instead of losing it, and gives analysts one canvas they can use to defend decisions in simple language. That combination reduces wasted reviews, exposes important laundering paths earlier, and keeps investigations focused on people and networks that genuinely deserve attention.

When AI meets industrial expertise, even traditional sectors like cement manufacturing can become frontiers for digital innovation and sustainable transformation.

In a significant endorsement of industrial artificial intelligence, the Conch Yungong Large Model—jointly developed by Huawei and Anhui Conch Cement—was recently named a winner of the Global Call for Solutions for an Inclusive Digital Economy 2025 during the 80th UN General Assembly’s Digital Cooperation Day .

This recognition, which placed the model alongside hundreds of international submissions, highlights a growing consensus: the digital transformation of traditional industries like cement production is crucial to building stable, resilient supply chains worldwide . For an industry responsible for approximately 7% of global CO₂ emissions, this technological leap could not be more timely.

The Building Blocks of Innovation

The partnership between Conch Group, China’s largest cement producer, and technology leader Huawei represents a perfect merger of industrial expertise and technological capability. The collaboration began in April 2024 with support from the China Building Materials Federation, culminating in the official launch of the Yungong Large Model on April 23, 2025 .

Rather than applying generic AI solutions, the developers conducted deep analysis of cement production to identify over 200 promising AI application scenarios across 15 distinct sections of the manufacturing process, from raw material mining to final packaging and shipment .

Trained on Huawei Cloud’s Pangu foundation models, the Yungong model serves as what developers call an “AI operating system” for cement production, integrating central training with edge inference to create a system capable of continuous learning and optimization .

Inside the AI Model: Five Breakthrough Applications

The Conch Yungong Large Model demonstrates its capabilities across five critical areas of cement manufacturing. The table below summarizes these key technological breakthroughs:

Beyond the Factory: Global Impact and Recognition

The environmental implications of these improvements extend far beyond cost savings. For a typical clinker production line with a daily output of 5,000 tons, the 1% reduction in standard coal consumption translates to over 4,500 metric tons of reduced carbon dioxide emissions annually . To put this in perspective, that reduction equals the carbon absorption capacity of approximately 245,000 trees planted each year .

The model’s significance has been recognized at the highest levels of global industrial governance. In a July 2025 meeting with Conch Group, Zou Ciyong, Deputy to the Director General and Managing Director of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), praised the company’s practices in energy conservation, emissions reduction, and digital transformation, noting that they “provided replicable experience for industry digitalization efforts around the world” .

Conch Group has actively engaged in international cooperation, participating in the 2025 International Forum on Carbon Emission Reduction and officially joining the Global Alliance on AI for Industry and Manufacturing (AIM Global) in September 2025 . These steps position the company as a voice for Chinese enterprises in global standard-setting organizations while improving the feasibility of technical roadmaps for industrial transformation in developing countries .

A Template for Traditional Industries

The building materials industry represents a critical test case for digital transformation. As noted in research from the Strategic Study of CAE, “Industrial software is a link that connects industrial design and manufacturing processes with informatization, intelligence, and digitization” . Many traditional manufacturing sectors face similar challenges: energy-intensive processes, quality control dependencies on manual experience, and complex operational environments where safety is paramount .

The Conch Yungong model demonstrates that successful digital transformation in traditional industries requires more than just technology adoption. It demands:

• Deep industry expertise to identify high-impact application scenarios 
• Integration of multiple AI capabilities (prediction, computer vision, natural language processing) 
• Cloud-edge collaboration for continuous learning and optimization 
• International cooperation to establish replicable standards and practices 

The Road Ahead

The UN award recognizes more than just technical achievement; it validates an approach to industrial transformation that balances productivity with sustainability and digital inclusion. The Global Call for Solutions for an Inclusive Digital Economy was launched by multiple UN agencies including UNIDO, UNCTAD, and the UN Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies with explicit goals of closing the digital divide and building more sustainable digital economies worldwide .

Looking forward, Huawei and Conch Group plan to continue their strategic partnership, further integrating AI with green manufacturing to optimize industry chains, improve product quality, and increase energy efficiency . Their joint success provides a compelling blueprint for how traditional manufacturing sectors can simultaneously achieve digital and green transformations—a dual imperative that grows more urgent by the day.

As industries worldwide grapple with digital transformation while pursuing carbon neutrality goals, the Conch Yungong Large Model offers a powerful case study in how deeply integrated AI solutions can transform even the most traditional sectors, creating supply chains that are not only more efficient but also more resilient and sustainable.

The convergence of AI and industrial expertise represents perhaps our most promising path to reconciling economic development with environmental stewardship. The story of the Conch Yungong model suggests that the foundations of our sustainable future may literally be made of cement.

There are no unnecessary details in crash games, only the growth of the coefficient and one decision at the right moment. Halfway through, it becomes clear why many people switch to https://astronaut.game/ — the interface is not overwhelming, and each round is based on an independent result.

What are Crash Games

Crash is an instant game format in which the odds grow from zero and rise to a random moment. The graph may stop at 1.01, it may jump to tens or even hundreds, or it may break off before the player has time to click on the withdrawal button. The meaning is as straightforward as possible: the bet is multiplied by the number that appeared before the stop.

Astronaut crash game follows the same pattern, but dilutes the dry mechanics with a visual storyline. An astronaut rises on the screen, the rocket picks up speed, and the multiplier grows. The higher the takeoff, the higher the result. The atmosphere is unobtrusive: instead of unnecessary buttons or complex tables, the player sees one main process — the growth of the multiplier.

The main difference between Astronaut and classic crash games such as Aviator, JetX, and Rocket X is smoother animation, an extremely clear round cycle, and the absence of unnecessary elements that distract from the decision. The scheme remains clear: bet, coefficient growth, stop. All calculations are performed automatically, with no delays.

The crash format itself is based on a random number generator. No actions by the player or other participants affect the stopping of the graph. There are no hidden factors such as cards, dealers, or third-party results. The round does not depend on experience, strategy, or past statistics. Each launch is a separate event.

Astronaut Rules and Round Cycle

The mechanics of the Astronaut game are equally understandable to both beginners and experienced players. Everything revolves around one decision — to manage to fix the winnings before the sudden crash.

Main stages:

• Before the start of the round, the player sets the amount. It is immediately displayed below the graph.
• The rocket begins to rise, and the coefficient increases from the first fraction of a second.
• Pressing the button fixes the multiplier that is lit at the moment of the click. The system immediately counts the winnings.
• When the rocket stops rising, the round ends. If the withdrawal button was not pressed, the bet is lost.

The entire cycle takes place in a short period of time: about a couple of seconds for the start, a few seconds for the multiplier to grow, and an instant stop. There are no additional conditions, no two-level rules, no hidden features.

An important feature of the game is that there are equal chances for low and high odds within the probabilities set by the algorithm. No one can predict the moment of stopping. Any third-party schemes that promise to know the crash time do not work — the game does not keep a history of odds for analysis. All rounds are independent of each other.

How to Win at Astronaut

In crash games, it is not how long the round lasts that matters, but how well a person manages risks. Astronaut is honest in this regard: there is no strategy that guarantees a profit. But there are approaches that help keep the process under control.

The most straightforward style is to take the multiplier at early numbers: 1.20–1.50. These values flash much more often than high rounds. You are less likely to lose your bankroll, but the rate of profit growth is also lower. This is a smooth and calm strategy for those who are still learning the game.

Rounds with a gradual increase in the target, where the player fixes several rounds at low odds, then sets a higher target — for example, 2.00 or 3.00. This approach balances stability with the chance of higher multipliers. The main thing is not to give in to the urge to catch up if you lose a couple of rounds in a row.

Many versions of the Astronaut game offer an auto-lock feature. It helps those who are afraid of not being able to press the button in time. The player sets the multiplier at which the system should stop the bet in advance.

Any channels or chats that promise accurate crash signals create the illusion of control. Astronaut, like other crash games, is based on chance. The history of odds is not an indicator of the future. If several rounds in a row have yielded low values, this does not mean that the next one will be high.

Those who win consistently rely not on a feeling of the moment, but on a precise plan:

• They fix the odds in advance;
• They don’t jump between styles every five seconds;
• They don’t double their bets after a loss;
• They don’t go for high odds without a reason.

Astronaut rewards those who stick to rationality. The growth of the odds looks attractive, but the longer a person waits, the higher the risk of losing the round. This is mathematics, not a matter of luck or intuition.

Analogues of Astronaut and Tips for Those Playing for the First Time

Crash games have long expanded the genre: each developer creates their own variations. Astronaut can be compared to several popular projects:

Aviator is the most famous representative of the genre. The odds grow according to a similar pattern, and the interface is minimalistic. The difference is flatter animation and a different visual style. JetX is a more dynamic option. The graphics look more aggressive, and there are additional effects. But the principle is the same: the coefficient increases until a crash occurs. SpaceXY — space-themed graphics, rounds proceed at a fast pace. The game is similar to Astronaut, but with a slightly different design.

To enter the game without unnecessary mistakes:

• Start with small amounts. The first rounds are important not for profit, but for understanding the pace. Crash looks simple, but the speed of the coefficient growth can sometimes be confusing.
• Set a fixed goal. For example: 1.40–1.60 to get used to the interface. When it becomes clear how the coefficient moves, you can increase the value.
• Don’t chase huge multipliers. They do happen, but they are extremely rare. It is safer to build your game on moderate numbers.
• Don’t change your plan after one unsuccessful round. Crash games can produce a series of low values — this is part of the mathematical model, not a bad streak.
• Take a break if you start reacting with your emotions rather than your calculations. Fatigue, excitement, and attempts to win back your losses turn a simple format into chaos.

All crash games are built on the same foundation: a random stopping point, bets, and a short cycle. Follow the rules and you will win.
