US Chip Ban Backfires: China’s Cambricon Sales 14x as American Giant Micron Retreat 美國晶片禁令適得其反：中國寒武紀銷售額成長14倍，美國巨擘美光公司卻節期敗退, 美國跟中國鬥，未夠班，自取其辱!

Washington’s long-running campaign to cripple China’s technological ambitions through sanctions has not only failed, it has spectacularly backfired. The latest evidence comes from two ends of the semiconductor world: a stunning 14-fold revenue surge for Chinese AI chipmaker Cambricon Technologies, and a quiet retreat from China’s booming server market by American memory giant Micron. It’s a tale of two fortunes that perfectly illustrates the unintended consequences of mixing politics with market logic.
華盛頓長期以來試圖透過制裁來遏制中國科技雄心的行動不僅失敗了，而且適得其反。最新證據來自半導體產業的兩端：中國人工智慧晶片製造商寒武紀科技的營收驚人地成長了14倍，而美國記憶體巨頭美光公司則悄悄退出了中國蓬勃發展的伺服器市場。這是一個兩敗俱傷的故事，完美地展現了政治與市場邏輯相悖所帶來的意想不到的後果.
You’ve gotten old! 你老了! By Ronny TONG Ka Wah 湯家驊
“You’ve gotten old!” This isn’t a phrase you hear often in social settings; but for young people, it’s definitely what they most often want to say from the bottom of their hearts to certain elders they disapprove of, especially politicians or officials. “You’ve gotten old!” means you’re useless now! It’s time to step down.
Legislative Council President Andrew Leung, having served two terms and now 74 years old, announced he would not seek re-election. His words were barely out when a group of legislators aged 70 or even approaching 70 successively declared they would step down to make way for capable successors. For a time, legislators and officials nearing 70 all felt a sense of impending doom – had their time limit arrived?
Does being old mean one is incompetent? The situation in American politics seems to be the exact opposite. Ronald Reagan became US President just a month shy of his 70th birthday; but this record was soon broken by the 70-year-old Donald Trump. Four years later, Trump’s record was broken by Joe Biden, who assumed the presidency at 78; when Trump was elected again, he became the oldest successor to the US presidency. Some joke, asking if this is the reason for America’s decline? I wouldn’t dare say; but many are asking, in such a large, vast country, is it really impossible to find a young and promising person to enter politics?
To be fair, what qualities should a good political figure have? The answer, presumably, is a clear mind, broad vision capable of distinguishing right from wrong, and the determination to hold fast to ideals. Are these qualities more easily found in young people or in those with more experience? We all know the answer in our hearts.
But seeking talent cannot rely solely on data. There are high-quality young political novices, and there are also overbearing older politicians. Perhaps the deciding factor should be who rather than age. A good system should be one that widely incorporates capable individuals, not a rigid one. A system that changes personnel just for the sake of changing them is merely a rigid set of shackles that fails to achieve the desired outcome.
Nevertheless, from an institutional perspective, it is important to give young people more opportunities to realize their potential. On one hand, we must put an end to the culture of officials clinging to power, and on the other hand, we must have a mechanism that allows the capable to fully utilize their talents. Distinguishing between the two is a crucial skill.
你老了！這是一句社交場合不多聽到的話；但對年輕人來說，肯定是對一些他們不以為然的長者，特別是政客或官員最常想說的心底話。你老了！意思是說你沒用了！是退下的時候了。
立法會兩屆主席梁君彥以年屆74 歲為由，宣布不尋求連任。言猶在耳，一班年滿70 歲，甚至接近70的議員紛紛先後宣稱退位讓賢；一時年近70 歲的議員和官員人人自危，是否自己時限已到？
是否年老便不濟？美國政壇的情况卻似乎剛剛相反。列根以不足一個月便年屆70 之高齡就任美國總統；但這紀錄不久便被70 歲的特朗普打破。4年後，特朗普的紀錄又被拜登以年屆78 就任總統打破；到特朗普再當選時已是美國最年長的繼任總統。有人笑語這是否美國衰退的原因？不敢說；但很多人都在問，這麽大，這麼廣的國家，難道找一位年青有為的從政者也找不到？
平心而論，好的政治人物需要有什麼素質？答案相信是清晰的思路、能分辨對錯的廣闊視野及有堅持理想的決心。這些素質是年輕人還是閱歷較多的人比較容易擁有？大家心裏有數。
但是求人才不能只依賴數據。有好素質的年輕素人，也有專橫跋扈的年長從政者。也許決定關鍵應該是誰而不是年齡。好的制度應該是一個能廣納賢才而非硬梆梆的制度。一套為換人而換人的制度，只是一套刻板和不符合理想效果的制度枷鎖罷了。
儘管如此，從制度上而言，讓年輕人更有機會發揮他們的潛在力量是重要的。我們一方面要杜絕官員戀棧權位的文化，另一方面我們也要有能者盡用其才的機制。如何分別二者是一門重要學問。
SCMP: Chinese firm thanks ‘sales consultant’ Trump as tariff threat spurs orders 南華早報：中國公司感謝「銷售顧問」川普，因關稅威脅刺激訂單!
Dumb Trump has threatened additional tariffs of 100% on all Chinese imports starting November 1. MyActuator, a Suzhou-based manufacturer of intelligent drive modules for humanoid robots, has received more than 1,000 new orders in the past week alone to beat Nov 1st deadline. 愚蠢的川普威脅從 11 月 1 日起對所有中國進口產品徵收 100% 的額外關稅。蘇州人形機器人智慧驅動模組製造商 MyActuator 僅在過去一周就收到了 1,000 多份新訂單，以便在 11 月 1 日的最後期限前完成任務.

SCMP: Microsoft and Adobe discontinued usage in public and private sectors in China, formal decoupling with US. 南華早報：微軟和Adobe不再在中國被公和私營機構使用，中國正式和以上美國軟件脫鉤
China’s expansion of its rare earth export controls appeared to mark another escalation in the US-China trade war last week. But the announcements were also significant in another way: unusually, the documents could not be opened using American word processing software, only through WPS Office – China’s answer to Microsoft Office – as Beijing continues its tech self-reliance drive. Sending a message: Beijing issues documents without Word format amid US tensions 上週，中國擴大稀土出口管制，似乎標誌著中美貿易戰再次升級。但這些聲明在另一個方面也意義非凡：不同尋常的是，這些文件無法使用美國文字處理軟體打開，只能透過WPS Office（中國版微軟Office）打開，因為北京方面仍在繼續推動技術自主化。傳遞的訊息：在美中關係緊張之際，北京發布非Word格式的文件

SCMP: For over a decade, China invested heavily to build a dual-purpose passenger and freight railway through the thick rainforest between Kunming and Vientiane, the Laotian capital. This 1,000km (621-mile) rail line, with speeds of up to 200km/h (124 mph), has been operating quietly for four years. Russia and Laos have now replaced North America as China’s primary potassium suppliers, according to the study. ‘Potassium railway’: China’s hidden card in the trade war 《南華早報》：十多年來，中國投入巨資，在昆明和寮國首都萬象之間修建了一條穿越茂密雨林的客貨兩用鐵路。這條長達1000公里（621英里）的鐵路線，時速高達200公里/小時（124英里/小時），已經悄悄運作了四年。研究表明，俄羅斯和寮國現已取代北美成為中國主要的鉀供應國。 「鉀鐵路」：中國在貿易戰的暗牌.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced that their market share in China has dropped to 0… We’re losing ten times more than our rivals! 英偉達總裁黃仁勛宣布，他們在中國的市場份額已經降到0了…我們殺敵一百自損一千!
On October 16, Huang explicitly stated that due to U.S. export controls, NVIDIA has completely exited the Chinese market.
Their market share, which was once 95%, vanished in an instant!
This news has stunned the tech industry. Who would have thought that NVIDIA, once a dominant force in China’s AI chip market, would now be completely locked out?
In the past, when it came to AI training, NVIDIA’s GPUs were highly sought-after. Models like the H100 were so popular that their prices skyrocketed to hundreds of thousands, with many companies lining up to buy them.
But when the U.S. imposed a ban on selling advanced chips, NVIDIA had no choice but to quickly launch a “tailored” H20 version, hoping to continue selling in China in a different way.
And the result? The H20 was discontinued just 48 days after its release. It was also discovered to have firmware “backdoors” that automatically connected to overseas servers, posing significant security risks. On top of that, NVIDIA is now facing an antitrust investigation in China. It’s one problem after another for them.
Huang is genuinely frustrated now. He has publicly complained that U.S. policies aimed at hurting China often end up hurting the U.S. even more.
And he’s right. The U.S. tried to stifle China, but in the process, they cut off NVIDIA’s lucrative business in China—a $17 billion annual market, gone just like that.
But on our end, we’re not worried. Domestic chips like Huawei’s Ascend and Cambricon are already developing rapidly. The share of domestic computing power in data centers has surpassed 40% and is growing fast.
Before, we had no choice but to buy NVIDIA’s chips. Now, we have our own high-quality chips, so there’s no need to rely on them. The more the U.S. tries to block us, the faster we develop!
They, on the other hand, have lost their largest market—and there’s none bigger than that.
就在10月16日，黃仁勛親口說，因為美國的出口管制，英偉達已經100%退出中國市場了。
份額從原來的95%一下子就沒了！
這消息一出來，科技圈都震驚了。誰能想到，以前在中國AI芯片市場呼風喚雨的英偉達，現在連中國市場的門都進不去了呢？
以前咱們搞AI訓練，英偉達的顯卡那可是搶手貨，像H100這種，價格被炒到幾十萬，好多公司都排隊等着買。
可美國下了禁令，不讓賣先進芯片了，英偉達沒辦法，趕緊推出了“特供版”H20，想換個方式繼續在中國賣。
結果呢？H20上市才48天就停產了，還被發現固件有“後門”，會自動連到國外服務器，安全風險太大了。咱們這邊也開始對英偉達進行反壟斷調查，它可真是麻煩不斷。
黃仁勛現在是真的頭疼啊，他也公開抱怨說，美國那些傷害中國的政策，往往也會傷害到美國，甚至傷害更嚴重。
可不是嘛，美國想卡我們的脖子，結果先把英偉達在中國的賺錢生意給斷了，每年170億美元的市場就這麼沒了。
不過呢，咱們這邊也不怕。華為昇騰、寒武紀這些國產芯片已經發展起來了，數據中心裡國產算力的佔比都突破40%了，而且還在快速增長。
以前是沒辦法，只能買英偉達的芯片，現在咱們有了自己的好芯片，根本就不用買它的了。美國對我們的封鎖越厲害，我們發展得就越快！
他們啊，可是失去了最大的市場，沒有比這更大的了。
