扎克伯格的妻子 Priscilla Chan，讲述了自己华裔家族从越南乘船逃难的经历。🤯
她是越南华裔难民的女儿。越南战争期间，她的父母和祖父母为了寻找更好的未来，决定乘船逃离越南。她的父亲家有 6 个孩子，母亲家有 10 个孩子。为了寻找更好的未来，两边的祖父母决定冒险逃离越南。
但他们担心，如果全家人挤在同一艘船上，一旦出事就可能失去所有孩子。于是，他们将两家的孩子两两配对，分别送上驶向南海的小船。那时没有互联网，没有手机，甚至无法确定彼此能否平安抵达。临行前，长辈们只留下一句话：“我们会在另一边见到你们。”
当时这些孩子只有 10 到 25 岁，她的母亲甚至还是一个十几岁的少女。最终，所有人都活着抵达了目的地。
Priscilla 说：“而我现在还能坐在这里和你交谈。所以我怎么可能不相信，更好的未来是可能的呢？”
“有了这样的经历，我怎么可能成为一个悲观主义者呢？”

Damn it, Jensen.
I’m drawing the line at 3 affairs.

El-Sayed is being too polite here.
Government leaders in Israel have openly told us their intent for genocide. He can simply recite those words and ask these Centrist media clowns how else to interpret those words.

Jensen Huang’s affair is just a trigger. What we are witnessing is a pre-planned power grab over Nvidia’s trillion-dollar computing empire, coordinated by Wall Street and Washington.
Some sharp Chinese-American commentators call it America’s new Red Scare targeting elite Asian entrepreneurs.
Bill Gates, Elon Musk and other white tech billionaires have faced repeated scandals over personal conduct. None were dragged into national security probes or boardroom takeovers. Only Jensen Huang, after a personal relationship misstep, faces an independent board investigation and hostile narrative from intelligence circles.
The double standard could not be clearer: For white elites, personal flaws are private matters. For a Chinese-born leader controlling a strategic tech asset, any tiny blemish gets framed as a national security risk.
Nvidia is the backbone of global AI computing, valued at roughly $4 trillion. Unlike Meta, where Mark Zuckerberg locks control with dual-class super-voting shares, or Microsoft and Amazon, deeply integrated with the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, Nvidia has no such protective structure.
Public filings from 2026 show Jensen Huang holds only 3.58% of shares, and all directors plus executives together hold merely 3.94%. Vanguard and BlackRock own 9.32% and 7.43% respectively, holding decisive voting power. Without institutional shields or deep political backing, this critical tech giant sits exposed on the chessboard of great-power competition.
The groundwork for this takeover was laid months ago. Longtime board allies of Huang, Mark Perry and Michael McCaffrey, stepped down from key committees. Insiders tied to Democratic establishment, Wall Street and U.S. intelligence quietly moved in:
✅ Suzanne Nora Johnson, former Goldman Sachs vice chair and co-chair of Brookings Institution, joined Nvidia’s audit committee in July 2026 with direct oversight of internal investigations and compliance. ✅ Kenneth Jacobs, vice chair of Brookings and incoming Vanguard chair, controls the largest institutional voting bloc and operates within the same inner circle as Johnson.
✅ Gilman Louie,founding CEO of CIA-backed venture fund In-Q-Tel and member of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, works alongside Johnson on the same national tech fund, overseeing intelligence acquisition of strategic tech firms.
The media rollout followed a precise political timeline. Initial trial balloons appeared on Oct 29. On Nov 6, the very day Democrats secured full control of Congress, Julian Barnes of the New York Times (national security beat) and Demetri Sevastopulo of the Financial Times published coordinated reports, citing intelligence memos while breaking the story of the personal scandal.
The real offense was never the affair. It was the 2025 deal Jensen struck with the Trump administration: offering a 25% revenue share to win export approval for H200 chips into China. A normal commercial negotiation, reframed by incoming Democrats as a dangerous compromise on U.S. AI sovereignty.
This investigation will not crash Nvidia’s stock — Wall Street holds massive stakes here. But it will deliver three strategic wins for the U.S. establishment:
1. De-founder and de-Sinicize Nvidia: A new permanent national security compliance committee, led by Johnson’s faction, will strip Huang of authority over chip exports and overseas strategy. His dual Chairman-CEO role will be split.
2. Lock down China’s AI ceiling: Washington will seize full command of global advanced computing supply, regulating chip flows to slow China’s AI progress.
3. Retroactively target Trump: Once Democrats take over congressional oversight panels in January 2027, this case will be used to accuse the Trump White House of negligence for approving the H200 export deal.
Jensen Huang spent 27 years building this computing empire, believing in rules, technical merit and business contracts. But there is a brutal truth in America’s power game: Top-tier strategic technology and wealth without political cover are nothing more than bargaining chips waiting to be carved up.
White elites get generous room for error. Asian pioneers who climb to the very top get almost none. This is not a story about infidelity. It is a raw demonstration of racial hierarchy, capital control and partisan power politics in the United States.
This story looks like a trap set up by US intelligence. Jensen Huang was cornered by the CIA. It was either being labelled a spy or admitting an affair, so he had no choice but to go with the affair narrative to contain the damage.
Anyone with a brain knows that this is just another one of America’s tired, go-to smear tactics. If they want to claim that legitimate business interests are actually acts of espionage, then let them produce some real evidence. Stop dragging China into everything at the drop of a hat. I’m sick and tired of these American games—it’s truly despicable, pathetic, and disgusting; it’s absolutely nauseating—just fucking low-class.
Get rid of the House Select Committee on the CCP.

Here’s @ryangrim pointing out some of the Dems who missed the Hegseth vote were coincidentally at a “new member reception” for a group that served as a pass-through for AIPAC money
(Then claimed “stuck in traffic”🤔)

Anthropic spent years lecturing everyone on safety and ethics like a bunch of Silicon Valley monks, only for Dario to look dead into a camera and glaze a 5x boost in lethal targeting as "patriotism". The entire "existential risk" routine was just a hustle to stall competition until the defense cash cleared. Pure defense contractor grift. Jeez, fuck off man ! 🤮
“Claude can help US kill more people more quickly ?”
Host: “With the help of LLMs, the US military has gone from hitting 1,000 targets a day to 5,000. That means Claude can help kill more people more quickly. Are you comfortable with that?”
Dario Amodei: “I am supportive of the US being more effective militarily. Having that ability be stronger doesn’t cause wars. It deters wars.”
“Do you want this country to be a more powerful actor on the world stage? I do. I’m a patriot.”
Watch this disgusting creature @PamelaBrownCNN, an operative of state-controlled media outlet CNN, to drive the agenda of Zionists.
The U.S. media is comically corrupt and dishonest.
Rep. Adam Hamawy @HamawyForNJ says that we should make friends, not enemies, in the Middle East, and the CNN anchor appears to enter a state of shock.
Do not underestimate the role of the mainstream media in making it costly for politicians to champion peace and diplomacy...

Here’s what I don’t get about this whole situation.
So, US agencies admitted to have been conducting intelligence on Alice Huang for 2 years already because they suspect she is a Chinese spy.
In the course of this, they have also been obviously following Jensen Huang, one of the richest, most influential US businessmen and CEO of what’s arguably the most important AI hardware company in the world.
AND ALL THIS TIME THEY DID NOTHING TO WARN HIM?
The only reason I can think of why US intelligence agencies didn’t warn him is because they have evidence Jensen Huang is actively and willingly helping an alleged Chinese spy circumvent US export restrictions and gain influence in Trump’s circle.
But if that’s the case, why just leak the affair and spy allegations to media? Wouldn’t filing a case against Jensen be the proper course of action?
If you want to hold someone accountable, follow the law. If you want to teach them a lesson (whatever that is), destroy their credibility and reputation.
The story maybe backwards.
Because China blocked NVIDIA chips in ‘25, Jensen may be sending chips to SE Asia in huge volumes as a way to bypass Chinese restrictions.
If this were the case, the spy issue is a nothing burger, but Jensen will be seen as undermining US export bans.
🚨 An interesting timeline:
- Mid '24: Jensen & Alice Huang relationship begins
- Late '25: China directs firms to reject US chips
- Early '26: Megaspeed (Alice’s firm) funnels $4.8B to Nvidia
- Nov '26: U.S. intel leaks affair right before Trump-Xi summit
My take: Jensen was using Alice, not the other way around.

I think people are reading too much into the spy angle on Jensen and China. The simpler explanation is a business one.
Jensen knows Chinese history well, and he knows that when the Chinese state decides something will happen, it happens. Right now the state wants chip independence. If you accept that it’s coming, then Nvidia’s biggest accelerator competitor in ten years won’t be AMD. It will be a Chinese company.
We’ve seen this pattern over and over: steel, then general manufacturing, and most recently electric vehicles. China will absorb short-term pain for a long-term objective. Hundreds of companies pile into a sector, most of them fail, and the lessons compound until the survivors lead the world.
Xiaomi is the clearest example. A phone maker built a car that competes with the best American carmakers, and it’s delivered over 700,000 of them in about two years. The US has effectively walled Chinese EVs off with 100% tariffs and restrictions on Chinese connected-car technology. Europe hasn’t, and you can see the result: BYD now outsells Tesla there, and in the UK it recently sold four times as many cars. Xiaomi launches in Europe in 2027.
Given all that, Jensen’s best move is to delay the inevitable for as long as possible. The longer the Chinese ecosystem stays hooked on Nvidia GPUs, the longer it takes China to build a competitor that can challenge Nvidia globally.
Funny enough, he’s fighting both governments at once, because the US and China are quite aligned here. Both want Nvidia chips out of China, for opposite reasons. When Washington finally approved H200 sales (an older-generation GPU), Beijing turned around and blocked them from importing.
That’s what hard export controls buy you. Cut China off and you force it to innovate, and it will. It will catch up.
According to The Information, NVIDIA has long lobbied hard against proposals to restrict Chinese companies’ access to its latest chips through overseas cloud providers. But since the scandal surrounding Jensen Huang broke, that lobbying appears to carry less weight in Washington.
The fallout has reportedly made it easier to advance three bills. The MATCH Act would restrict shipments of lithography equipment to China. The Overwatch Act would give Congress greater oversight of the Commerce Department’s decisions to approve AI chip sales to countries such as China. The Chip Security Act would require AI chips to have built-in tracking capabilities.
The National Defense Authorization Act is expected to pass before the new Democratic-led Congress convenes in January. That gives Republican leaders an incentive to help move the legislation forward now, while they still have more say over what goes into the final bill.

El problema ha sido China, que ha puesto a todo Occidente en un espejo muy incómodo porque ha demostrado que se podía crecer y desarrollarse de forma salvaje sin invadir a nadie ni provocar guerras.
Es más, China no ha entrado en África con fusiles, sino construyendo puentes. En Europa/USA intentan mancharla diciendo que hacen "imperialismo económico", que puede ser verdad, pero no quita lo esencial; no entraron con derramientos de sangre. Europa y USA podrían haber crecido sin provocar baños de sangre.
De hecho, todavía hoy, en el siglo XXI, USA necesita ejercer la fuerza bruta (Venezuela, Irán) para mantener sus posiciones de dominio. Repito, China no ha intervenido militarmente ni ha usado la fuerza bruta en ningún país extranjero durante todo su ascenso a primera potencia mundial. Y diría que absolutamente nadie (ningún Imperio anterior) puede presumir de tal hazaña.
Yo soy mucho más pesimista, Eduardo. Sí que creo que Occidente se ha quedado sin relato y ha perdido la fe en sus ideas y valores. Pero, en mi opinión, el problema es aún más grave que la ausencia de relato: lo peor es que se está imponiendo entre nosotros un relato autodestructivo de que nosotros somos los causantes del mal en el mundo por nuestro capitalismo, nuestro colonialismo y el resto de nuestros pecados históricos.
Roger Scruton denominó oikofobia a esta forma de autoodio, es decir, al rechazo o al desprecio sistemático hacia lo propio: hacia la propia cultura, la propia civilización y la tradición occidental. Y una de las cosas que estamos haciendo (empatía suicida) es abrir la puerta a sistemas operativos que son incompatibles con las democracias liberales. Creo que tiene mucho de suicidio. Fue Toynbee el que dijo que las civilizaciones mueren por suicidio.
