They will be able to close the gap and because workloads are becoming more efficient, they can decouple at least the inference part of their ecosystem from the US within two to three years" Cultural Independence in AI: Nations seek models that align with their values while maintaining technical independence - requiring a nuanced approach to global AI partnerships Links:Anjney Midha & Jensen Huang on Winning the AI Race https://a16z.com/podcast/jensen-huang-and-arthur-mensch-on-winning-the-global-ai-race/ Sponsors: Gemini CLI: Open-source, lightweight utility for direct Gemini access—find Gemini CLI on GitHub.

Dr. Murphy emphasized the importance of maintaining human oversight to ensure patient safety, while Bair noted the challenges of developing transparent and ethical AI models in a rapidly evolving field.

Quảng bá hình ảnh Việt Nam qua những chuyến công du của lãnh đạo thế giới

TẠP CHÍ VIỆT NAM

Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Việt Nam đón hơn 10,6 triệu lượt du khách quốc tế, tăng 20,7% so với cùng kỳ năm 2024, tổng thu từ du lịch ước tính đạt 518 nghìn tỉ đồng (1). Việt Nam tích cực xây dựng hình ảnh với thế giới vì du lịch quốc tế là nguồn đóng góp trực tiếp quan trọng cho GDP, được kỳ vọng 6-8% năm 2025 với 980-1.050 tỉ đồng doanh thu. Bộ Văn Hóa Thể Thao và Du Lịch tổ chức nhiều hoạt động quảng bá du lịch Việt Nam tại nhiều hội chợ du lịch quốc tế và các nước châu Âu như Ý, Thụy Sĩ, Ba Lan, Séc, Đức, đặc biệt là tại Pháp thông qua các sự kiện điện ảnh lớn như Liên hoan phim Cannes 2025 và các hoạt động bên lề, quảng bá, xúc tiến du lịch tại Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Diễn đàn Đối tác vì tăng trưởng xanh và mục tiêu toàn cầu 2030 (P4G) lần thứ 4, giới thiệu Nhã nhạc cung đình Huế tại Quảng trường Trocadéro (Esplanade de Trocadéro), Paris tối 11/05… Tuy nhiên, chính những chuyến công du Việt Nam của các nhà lãnh đạo các nước lớn trên thế giới chính là một cách quảng cáo hữu hiệu cho du lịch Việt Nam. Ví dụ hình ảnh chuyến công du Hà Nội ngày 25-27/05/2025 của tổng thống Emmanuel Macron được truyền thông Pháp liên tục đưa tin. Đất nước thanh bình, an toàn Hình ảnh ông Macron cũng phu nhân thong dong đi dạo Hồ Gươm ngay trong đêm khi vừa mới đến Hà Nội được bình luận nhiều. Và đây cũng là cách “quảng bá hình ảnh của Việt Nam ra thế giới”, theo cảm nhận của bà Nguyễn Thị Lan chia sẻ với RFI Tiếng Việt khi đang cùng bạn chụp ảnh ở Hồ Gươm : “Tôi thấy những cuộc đi dạo phố Hà Nội của tổng thống Pháp rất ý nghĩa. Người ta là tổng thống nhưng hòa đồng với người dân Việt Nam, điều đó chứng tỏ người dân rất thân thiện. Cho nên, qua đó cũng quảng bá được hình ảnh người Việt Nam thân thiện, các di tích, danh lam thắng cảnh của Việt Nam sẽ được thế giới biết đến”. Anh Tiến, ngồi cùng nhóm bạn trong một quán cà phê đối diện Nhà Thờ Lớn, nơi tổng thống Pháp và phu nhân đến thăm hôm trước, chia sẻ : “Nhìn chung, mọi người đều có tâm trạng phấn khởi. Đối với một người dân Việt Nam như tôi, tôi cũng cảm thấy là có một chút gì đấy rất là hãnh diện, rất tự hào. Mình tự hào vì đất nước mình là một đất nước nhỏ, mình phát triển sau người ta cả một quãng rất là dài, còn người ta ở một nước phát triển hơn mà người ta sang và cảm nhận được cuộc sống của người Việt Nam, thì chắc người ta cũng rất ngưỡng mộ đấy. Chứ nếu mình mà là nước lớn thì chuyện lại khác. Đúng không?” “Việt Nam” cũng trở thành từ khóa được tìm kiếm nhiều sau khi xảy ra “sự cố” lúc mở cửa máy bay và bị đồn thổi là “tổng thống bị vợ tát”. Một yếu tố khác là tổng thống Macron phát biểu với báo chí, truyền thông chiều 26/05 ngay ngoài đường, đằng sau là một dãy xe máy. Tiếp theo là hình ảnh tổng thống và phu nhân được người dân Hà Nội đến chào và tặng quà khi rời khỏi nhà hàng Madame Hiền ở phố Hàng Bè. Anh Tiến cho rằng “phải cảm thấy thoái mái, cảm thấy đất nước thanh bình mà họ yên tâm” hòa vào đám đông. “Những hình ảnh đó mà được quảng bá lên thì khách du lịch nhìn vào đấy, người ta sẽ sang Việt Nam nhiều hơn. Mức độ tin tưởng hoặc là những phong cảnh của Việt Nam đẹp, cuộc sống rất là thanh bình, cho nên sẽ thu hút. Bởi vì bản thân tổng thống các nước đi sang Việt Nam, có cần phải có vệ sĩ đi đâu, không cần mà, người ta đi lại bình thường cũng như những người dân bình thường thôi mà. Người dân Việt Nam cũng rất là mến khách, điều đó ai cũng biết. Còn phong cảnh thì được ưu ái rất nhiều”. Nhiều công trình văn hóa, di tích lịch sử tại Hà Nội được đưa vào lịch trình tham quan và làm việc của tổng thống Pháp, như Phủ chủ tịch, lăng chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh, Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám, Bảo tàng Mỹ thuật, Nhà thờ lớn, khu phố cổ, Hồ Gươm… Những công trình này mang phong cách kiến trúc đa dạng, từ truyền thống đến Đông Dương và hiện đại. Định vị thương hiệu du lịch qua ẩm thực Song song với việc đề cao di sản kiến trúc, danh lam thắng cảnh, Việt Nam cũng muốn “định vị thương hiệu du lịch qua ẩm thực”, theo báo Nhân Dân và “lan tỏa tinh hoa ẩm thực Việt Nam ra thế giới thông qua ngoại giao”. Tạp chí Thông tin & Truyền Thông viết : “Hình ảnh các nguyên thủ, lãnh đạo cấp cao các nước hay doanh nhân nước ngoài đi dạo, thưởng thức các món ăn đường phố tại Việt Nam dường như đã không còn quá xa lạ và dần trở thành một “đặc sản” để Việt Nam thông qua đó quảng bá ẩm thực, văn hóa, con người nước Nam với bạn bè quốc tế”. Tổng thống Barack Obama đi ăn bún chả, nhà sáng lập kiêm chủ tịch và giám đốc điều hành (CEO) Nvidia Hoàng Nhân Huân (Jensen Huang) đi uống bia ở phố Tạ Hiện, thủ tướng Úc Anthony Albanese uống bia, ăn bánh mì, CEO Apple Tim Cook uống cà phê trứng… Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron ăn nem rán, bún riêu tại nhà hàng Madame Hiền, nổi tiếng món dân dã Việt Nam nhưng do bếp trưởng người Pháp Didier Corlou điều hành. Chị Nguyễn Hoàng Yến, quản lý Nhà hàng Madame Hiền, giải thích với RFI Tiếng Việt là khi được biết là tổng thống Pháp sẽ đến ăn trưa làm việc với giới hoạt động văn hóa, nghệ thuật, bếp trưởng Didier Corlou “đã đưa ra một số thực đơn để họ thử và chọn, sau đó để điều chỉnh theo đúng gu”. “Nhà hàng Madame Hiền nổi tiếng về ẩm thực Việt Nam nhưng lại do bếp trưởng là người Pháp cho nên dùng toàn bộ sản phẩm thuần Việt và dùng các gia vị, rau thơm của Việt Nam. Thực đơn gửi đến đoàn của tổng thống Pháp gồm có nem rán, nem cuốn, có món bún riêu. Dù là những món ăn truyền thống nhưng hơi có phong cách của bếp trưởng. Điểm mạnh của ẩm thực Việt Nam nói chung và của Hà Nội nói riêng, theo tôi, đó là nhờ gia vị và “mùa nào thức đấy”, đặc biệt là rau thơm, rau củ quả đều tươi. Đấy cũng là điểm khiến bếp trưởng của nhà hàng Madame Hiền gắn bó với Việt Nam và quyết định mở nhà hàng về món ăn Việt Nam”. Kết hợp di sản kiến trúc với ẩm thực Ngoài ra, địa điểm cũng là thế mạnh của nhà hàng. Được xây từ năm 1928 theo thiết kế của kiến trúc người Pháp Lagisquet, căn biệt thự cổ vẫn giữ nguyên vẹn vẻ đẹp cổ kính theo kiến trúc Đông Dương. Theo chia sẻ của chị Hoàng Yến, đây là một trong năm biệt thự Pháp cổ được một thương gia người Pháp cải tạo, khai thác kinh doanh nhà hàng từ lâu. Những nét kiến trúc đặc trưng được bảo tồn cẩn thận để quảng bá tới du khách quốc tế khi đến Việt Nam. “Nhà hàng chọn khu biệt thự Pháp cổ, thường có quang cảnh và không gian mở để cho thực khách thưởng thức và có bầu không khí ấm cúng. Về không gian, nội thất, nhà hàng thử sử dụng như trong một gia đình Việt Nam, ấm cúng, không phải vào một nhà hàng sang trọng mà là vào một nhà hàng của gia đình Việt Nam. Món ăn bình dân nhưng vì bếp trưởng của nhà hàng từng làm trong khách sạn Métropole gần 20 năm, nên anh ấy sử dụng gia vị và rau thơm Việt Nam, nhưng thêm chút hương vị Pháp vào đó”. Thành phố Hà Nội đã lập danh sách những tòa biệt thự Pháp cổ còn lại ở Hà Nội, trong đó có rất nhiều công trình quan trọng sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm giá trị về kiến trúc, di sản, văn hóa. Theo Cơ quan hỗ trợ hợp tác quốc tế vùng Paris tại Việt Nam - PRX-Vietnam, hiện nhà tư vấn về bảo tồn di sản cho thành phố Hà Nội, nhiều biệt thự cổ sẽ được trùng tu để tạo thêm công năng mới như khách sạn, nhà hàng, quán cà phê, không gian triển lãm… Thực tế cần đúng với hình ảnh được quảng bá Tuy nhiên, đôi khi hình ảnh một Việt Nam thơ mộng bị phá vỡ bởi những thực tế kém hào nhoáng hơn. Trong bài “Điểm đến Việt Nam : những bất ngờ trong chuyến du lịch lớn đầu tiên đến châu Á” được đăng trên nhật báo Pháp Le Figaro ngày 14/07/2025, hai du khách trẻ người Pháp chia sẻ trải nghiệm, ngỡ ngàng cũng có và thất vọng cũng có : nắng nóng khắc nghiệt, ô nhiễm đô thị, và thậm chí là tình trạng quá tải ở một số địa điểm mang tính biểu tượng như Vịnh Hạ Long. Giao thông ở Hà Nội, đặc biệt là phố đường tàu, được coi là điểm đặc biệt nhưng nhanh chóng trở nên ngột ngạt, ồn ào, vì còi xe liên tục cùng với ô nhiễm không khí, khiến Agathe thấy hài lòng vì được đến với thiên nhiên Ninh Bình sau ba ngày ở Hà Nội. Tháng 07/2025, Việt Nam được tạp chí Time Out chọn là điểm du lịch kinh tế nhất và phong phú nhất ở Đông Nam Á. Ngoài giá vé máy bay thiếu cạnh tranh so với một số nước trong khu vực như Thái Lan, Singapore, chi phí ở Việt Nam không quá đắt, khuyến khích giới trẻ “xách ba lô lên và đi”. Ngoài ra, còn phải kể đến chính sách miễn thị thực. Việt Nam ký các hiệp định miễn thị thực song phương với nhiều quốc gia và đơn phương miễn thị thực cho công dân 13 nước (2), chủ yếu là các nước châu Âu, thời hạn tạm trú được nâng lên thành 45 ngày. Biện pháp có hiệu lực đến hết ngày 14/03/2028 và sẽ được xem xét gia hạn theo quy định của pháp luật Việt Nam. Trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2025, Bộ Văn Hóa, Thể Thao và Du Lịch đã xây dựng và triển khai Chương trình kích cầu phát triển du lịch năm 2025. Tuy nhiên, theo Báo Tuyên Quang ngày 28/07 (3), các nhà quản lý du lịch đều ý thức được rằng “để duy trì đà tăng trưởng và nâng cao chất lượng du lịch, Việt Nam cần tiếp tục đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng, phát triển sản phẩm du lịch độc đáo, bền vững và đặc biệt là nâng cao chất lượng nguồn nhân lực”.

Jensen Huang on why AI will be indispensable, how he uses AI, synthetic data and AI generated knowledge in 10 years to be 99% on all AIs, and his own American Dream. This Part 3 is the third and last 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang's entire 30-minute talk in Stanford on July 26, 2025.  Part 3 Summary:  to read Pt. 3 as a 5-min blog To watch Pt. 3 as a 16-minute video Part 3 Summary:  Jensen Huang advised young people to learn how to reason and break things down to first principles. To know what the first principles are: “Go to school!” In answering the concerns about human collective intelligence of managing the collective intelligence of AGI, Jensen Huang stated that “... human generated knowledge and human generated data would today be 99%, in about 10 years it will probably be 1%. The vast majority of human knowledge will be generated by AI. It will be AI generated data that the other AIs learn from,...it's going to be synthetic generated intelligence. …that's just intelligence, it is not a big deal, It's just data…that the amount of AI generated knowledge is to be incredibly high.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:)  I respectfully disagree with Jensen Huang regarding synthetic data:  I wrote an article (link below) seven months ago, analogizing the danger of synthetic data to Norman Rockwell's famous painting, “The Gossips”. What may start as a story about a “cat”, may end up being about an “elephant” after being passed through 15 people. It is therefore important to label data either as originating from a source or as synthetic, before being used to train AI and becoming untraceable, to avoid misinformation that can cause catastrophes like a financial market meltdown. Here is my article: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/01/13/synthetic-data-ai-toxic-assets-financial-crises-2008-1987-joanne-z-tan/ This point is echoed by a prominent expert in the AI fintech industry, who was also a chief data officer at both state and federal government levels, in the “Interviews of Notables and Influencers”. The subheadings about synthetic data speak for themselves: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/04/07/ai-future-synthetic-data-ai-mistakes-ai-governance-crypto-regulations-knowledge-economy-tammy-roust-interview-joanne-z-tan/ (At 46'21”): “Untagged synthetic data pose systemic risks; model collapse; The real danders from AI hallucination”  (At 49'56”): “Need for auto tagging of synthetic data when it is being generated and used; the danger of group think” and “We need to have a human consensus mechanism & AI governance committee to correct AI's mistakes”. Jensen Huang said this about AI: “You want the smartest friends? You want the most productive friends?...go engage AI as fast as possible, because they're super, super smart and they're going to help you solve problems.”  “It's also the case that we want second opinions, and third opinions. I use multiple AIs at the same time solving the same problems. And I take the answers from one and I give it to the other one. I'll make the second one judge the first one: What do you think about this answer?...And I ask each one of them to produce, you know, based on everything that you've now learned, why don't you reflect on what I told you and what I gave you, and then give me a better answer. And so you notice I'm interacting with AI the way I interact with people, I want them on my side, I want them to work with me.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:) The above sounds like circular reasoning to me. If nothing is done to label synthetic data used by all AI models, what makes their second and third opinions any more reliable? Without holding AI accountable by resorting to “first principle thinking” that Jensen Huang has applied over and over, what makes AI smarter or credible? Assuming that Jensen Huang's preference for human control over AI tools is not hijacked by AI yet, AI is threatening human intelligence with this “double whammy”: By automating tasks, AI will take away the OPPORTUNITY for humans to learn the basic skills that train their minds to advance to higher level positions; By relinquishing analytical and critical thinking to AI, human mental acuity will be degraded. Without doing the thinking ourselves to practice and strengthen the skills, humanity will lose reasoning CAPABILITY by relying on AI.  Finally, Jensen reflected on the American melting pot, amazing opportunities, and the rule of law for both immigrants and Americans. He said it is a combination that is “SO delicate, … it depends on so many things working together, …. It is not a guarantee, … I really hate to see us squander that… I hope that we continue to protect that.”   Regarding the competition between China and the US, he said “competition is great, but conflict is less good.” He cautioned that what is going on between governments and countries ought not to be conflated with how individual American Chinese who are pursuing the American Dream are treated. ©Joanne Z.

“If we build it, will they come?” Jensen said: “If we don't build it, they can't come.” “You have to believe in what you believe, and you have to pursue that belief.” “This is at the core of our company.” The “big bet” Jensen Huang made 30 years ago:  by inventing the technology AND the market at the same time, Jensen aimed to expand, augment, and accelerate general purpose computing CPUs with specialized algorithms for the video game niche. Jensen Huang had the foresight three decades ago to create CUDA, a compatible accelerated computing architecture that became the pillars for AI advancement today. The visualized hardware platform invented in 1994 demanded that Nvidia grow other parts of the “flywheel”: developer ecosystem, install base, and the subsequent demand for GPUs invented by Nvidia.  Read it as a 5-min blog Watch it as a 12-min video   ©Joanne Z.

“AI is about solving these cognitive, reasoning, planning, and search problems.” “And it comes down to one thing: Do you have more ideas than you wish you could pursue if you were more productive? Do you have more dreams, and they can come true, if you had more time? And if you have those things, productivity is going to result in your growth. But if you don't, then productivity is going to result in more idle time.” This Part 2 is the second 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang's entire 30-minute talk in Stanford.  Part 2 Summary:  Jensen Huang continued a belief system or vision has to come from first principle thinking, first principle computer science or physics or economics. "First principle reasoning, added to it, was inspiration.” He states that principled thinking was really important in arriving at . “Then you gut check that literally every single day,... continuously re-evaluate our strategies and our decisions.” Jensen Huang explained how Moore's Law is evidenced in computation, AI advancement, and the dramatic cost reduction. Then he observed that Nvidia's computing platform can enable changes in algorithm, architecture, system, silicon, and fundamental computation - all at the same time.  Jensen explained about a prediction he made a decade ago, and it helped Nvidia to reinvent and reframe itself from a chip company to building entire data centers. He predicted that AGI will take less than two years to achieve superhuman levels. Learn why Jensen Huang believes that AI will not take over human intelligence, but help us with tasks and free us to pursue more dreams, hopes, aspirations, and ideas. “I think we will be busier than ever.” (Jensen Huang's remaining 10-minute talk, with Joanne Z.

Quantum computing has been "five years away" for decades, but when NVIDIA's Jensen Huang says we've hit an inflection point, Congress listens and stocks soar. The reality? We're still building very expensive proof-of-concepts. Today's quantum computers run on 100 qubits—impressive to physicists, useless to you. Commercial viability needs a million qubits, a 10,000x leap that's not incremental progress but a complete reinvention.Unlike the familiar tech story where room-sized computers became pocket devices, quantum is binary: it either works at massive scale or it's an elaborate academic exercise. There's no quantum equivalent of early PCs that could at least balance your checkbook—no useful middle ground between 100 qubits and a million.China wants quantum for cryptography: the master key to any lock. America's lead exists mostly on paper—in research publications and VC rounds, not deployed systems. Dr. Peter Shadbolt from PsiQuantum, fresh from congressional testimony, argues America must commit now or risk losing a race that could redefine pharmaceutical research and financial security. The real question: can a democracy sustain long-term investment in technologies that offer zero immediate gratification?

Nvidia heeft zeker 300 duizend H20-chips bij TSMC besteld, melden ingewijden aan persbureau Reuters. De bestelling komt nadat de Verenigde Staten de exportrestricties op de chip naar China versoepeld hebben. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Nvidia zou volgens één ingewijde al 600 tot 700 duizend H20-chips op voorraad hebben. De bestelling bij TSMC zou de voorraad dus met de helft vermeerderen. Nvidia-baas Jensen Huang zei eerder deze maand nog dat de productie-aantallen bepaald zouden worden door de hoeveelheid orders uit China. De bestelling bij TSMC lijkt er dus op te wijzen dat het om veel orders gaat. Op dit moment is Nvidia nog in afwachting van een licentie van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Handel om de H20-chip naar China te mogen exporteren. Volgens Nvidia komt die 'binnenkort', maar op het ministerie is niet bepaald sprake van eensgezindheid over het handelsbeleid van president Donald Trump. Handelsminister Howard Lutnick kreeg maandag een brandbrief van een twintigtal beleidsmakers die pleiten om de H20-chip van Nvidia niet naar China te exporteren.

Faster, Please! — The Podcast

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,With tariff and immigration policies uncertain, and the emerging AI revolution continuing to emerge, there's plenty to speculate about when it comes to the US economy. Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I invite Joseph Politano to help us try and make sense of it all.He is the author of the popular Apricitas Economics Substack newsletter. Politano previously worked as an analyst at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.In This Episode* Trade and immigration headwinds (1:03)* Unpredictable trade policy (7:32)* Tariffs as a political tool (12:10)* The goal: higher tariffs (17:53)* An AI tailwind (20:42)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Trade and immigration headwinds (1:03)You're going to have what is probably the largest one-year change in immigration in US history.Pethokoukis: What are the main economic headwinds that you're tracking right now? Or is it just trade, trade, trade?Politano: It's hard for me to not say it's trade, trade, trade because that's what my newsletter has been covering since the start of this administration and I think it's where the biggest change in longstanding policy is. If you look back on, say, the last 100 years of economic history in the United States, that's the kind of level you have to go to find a similar period where tariffs and trade restrictions were this high in the United States.At the start of this year, we were at a high compared to the early 2000s, but it was not that large compared to the 1970s, 1960s, the early post-war era. Most of that, especially in Trump's first term, was concentrated in China, and then a couple of specific sectors like steel or cars from Mexico. Now we have one, you had the big jump in the baseline — there's ten percent tariffs on almost all goods that come to the United States, with some very important exceptions, but ten percent for most things that go into the US. Then, on top of that, you have very large tariffs on, say, cars are 25 percent, steel and aluminum right now are 50 percent. China was up to 20 percent then went to the crazy 150 percent tariffs we had for about a month, and now it's back down to only 30 percent. That's still the highest trade war in American history. I think that is a big headwind.The headwind that I don't spend as much time covering, just because it's more consistent policy — even if it is, in my opinion, bad policy — is on the immigration stuff. You're going to have what is probably the largest one-year change in immigration in US history. So we're going to go from about 2.8 million net immigration to a year, to people like Stan Veuger projecting net-zero immigration this year in the United States, which would be not entirely unprecedented — but again, the biggest shift in modern American history. I think those are the two biggest headwinds for the US economy right now.You're highlighting two big drivers of the US economy: trade and immigration. But analyzing them is tricky because recent examples are limited. To understand the effects of these changes, you often have to look back 50 or 100 years, when the economic landscape was very different. I would think that would make drawing clear conclusions more difficult and pose a real challenge for you as an analyst.Again, I'm going to start with trade because that's where I focused a lot of my energy here, but the key thing I'm trying to communicate to people — when people think of the protectionist era in US history, the number one thing people think about is Smoot-Hawley, which were the very large tariffs right before the Great Depression — in my opinion, obviously did not cause the Great Depression, but were part of the bad policy packages that exacerbated the Great Depression. That is an era in which one, the US is not a big net importer to the same degree; and two, trade was just a much smaller share of the economy, even though goods were a much larger share of the economy.This is pre- the really big post-war globalization and pre- the now technology-era globalization. So if you're doing tariffs in 1930 or prior, you're hitting a more important sector. Manufacturing is a much larger share of the economy, construction is a larger share of the economy, but conversely, you're hitting it less hard. And now you have this change of going from a globalized world in which trade is a much larger share of GDP and hitting that with very large tariffs.The immigration example is hard to find. I think the gap is America has not done . . . let's call it extensive interior enforcement in a long time. There's obviously been changes to immigration policy. Legally the tariffs have gone up. Legally, lot of immigration policy has not changed. We don't pass bills on immigration in the same way. We don't pass bills on tariffs, but we do pass bills on tax policy. So immigration has changed mostly through the enforcement mechanisms, primarily at the border, and then secondarily, but I think this is the bigger change, is the kind of aggressive interior enforcement.The Steven Miller quote that was in the Wall Street Journal is what I think about, like, why aren't you going to Home Depot to try to deport people who are here undocumented? That's a really big change in economic policy from the first term where it was like, “Okay, we are going to restrict the flow of legal and undocumented immigrants at the border, and then mostly the people who are in the interior of the United States, we're only going to focus on people who've committed some other crime.” They got picked up by local law enforcement doing something else, and then we're going to deport them because of that.This is very different, and I think also very different tonally. In the first term, there was a lot of, “People don't want refugees.” Refugee resettlement was cut a lot, but there was a rhetorical push for, “We should let some people in from Venezuela or Cuba, people who were fleeing socialist dictatorships.” That program [was] also very much torn up. So it's hard to find examples, in that case, where you've got to go back to 1924 immigration policy, you've got to go back to 1930 trade policy for the closest analogs.Unpredictable trade policy (7:32)People notice if the specific things that they associate with other countries go up in price, even if those aren't their most important export.Trade policy seems especially difficult to analyze these days because it's been so mercurial and it's constantly evolving. It's not like there's one or two clear policy shifts you can study — new announcements and reversals happen daily, or weekly. I think that unpredictability itself creates uncertainty, which many analysts see as a drag on growth, often as much as the tariffs themselves.I think that's exactly right. I used to joke that there were three people in Washington, DC who know what the current tariff levels are, and I'm not sure any of them are in the White House, because they do change them extremely frequently. I'm going to give an example of the last 24 hours: We had the announced rate on imports from the Philippines from 20 percent to 19 percent, the rate on imports from Indonesia went from 32 to 19, the rate on Japan went from 25 to 15. None of those are legal changes. They've not published, “Here's the comprehensive list of exactly what we're changing, exactly when these are going to go into effect, yada, yada, yada.” It's just stuff that administration officials or Trump, in particular, said. So it's really hard to know with any certainty what's going on.Even just this morning, the Financial Times had a good article basically saying that the US and the European Union are close to a quote-unquote “deal” where the tariffs on the EU would be at 15 percent. Then literally 30 minutes ago, Peter Navarro is on TV and he's like, “I would take that with a grain of salt.” So I don't know. Clearly some people internally know. This is actually the longest period of time that Trump has gone without legally changing the tariffs since he was inaugurated. 28 days was the previous record.Normally — I'll give an example of the last Trump administration — what would happen is you'd have, “Hey, we are doing this Section 301 investigation against China. This is a legal procedure that you say that the Chinese government is doing ABC, XYZ unfair trade practices and we're going to retaliate by putting tariffs on these specific goods.” But you would have a very long list of goods at least a couple of months before the tariffs would take effect.It wasn't quite to this degree, I don't want to make it sound like Trump won, everything was peachy keen, and there was no uncertainty. Trump would occasionally say something and then it would change the next week, but it was much more contained, and now it's like all facets of trade policy.I think a really good example was when they did the tariffs on China going from 10 to 20 to then 145 percent, and then they had to come back a week later and be like, “We're exempting smartphones and certain types of computers.” And then they came back a week after that and were like, “We're exempting other types of electronics and electronic parts.” It does not take an expert to know that smartphones come from China. It's on the package that Apple sends you. And if you were very strategically planning this out, if you were like, “Well, are going to do 150 percent tariffs on China,” that would be one of the first questions someone would be like, “Well, people are going to notice if their iPhone prices go up. Have we thought about exempting them?”During Trump's first term — again, you can take this as political or economic strategy — they mostly focused a lot of the tariffs on intermediate goods: computer parts, but not computers; brakes, not cars. That has more complicated economic costs. It, on balance, hurts manufacturing in the United States more and hurts consumers less, but it's clearly trying to set up a political salience. It's trying to solve a political salience problem. People notice if the specific things that they associate with other countries go up in price, even if those aren't their most important export. There's been much less of that this time around.We're doing tariffs on coffee and bananas. I complain about that all the time, but I think it is useful symbolism because, in an administration that was less concerned about political blowback, you'd be like, “Oh yeah, give me a list of common grocery items to exempt.” This is much less concerned with that blowback and much more slap-dash.Tariffs as a political tool (12:10). . . we're now in the process of sending out these quote-unquote “letters” to other countries threatening higher tariffs. It doesn't seem to me like there's a rhyme or reason why some countries are getting a letter or some countries aren't.I think there's a lot of uncertainty in interpreting administration statements, since they can change basically overnight. Even if the policy seems settled, unexpected events — like, oh, I don't know, a there's a trial of a politician who Trump likes in another country and all of a sudden there's a tariff to nudge that country to let that politician go. If the president views tariffs as a universal tool, he may use them for unpredictable, non-economic reasons, making it even harder to analyze, I would think.I think that's exactly right, and if you remember very early on in the Trump administration, the Columbian government did not want to take deportees on military aircraft. They viewed this as unjust treatment of Columbian nationals, and then Trump was like, “I'm going to do a 20, 30 percent tariff,” whatever the number was, and then that was resolved the next day, and then we stopped doing the military flights two weeks after that. I think that was a clear example . . . Columbia is an important US trading partner, but there's a lot more who are larger economies, unfortunately for Columbia.The example you're giving about Brazil is one of the funnier ones because . . . on April 2nd, Trump comes out and says, “We're doing reciprocal tariffs.” If you take that idea seriously, we should do tariffs against countries that employ unfair trade practices against US exports. You take that idea seriously, Brazil should be in your top offender categories. They have very high trade barriers, they have very high tariffs, they have domestic industrial policy that's not super successful, but does clearly hurt US exports to the region. They got one of the lowest tariff rates because they didn't actually do it by trade barriers, they did it by a formula, and Brazil happens to export some oil, and coffee, and cashews, and orange juice to the United States more than they buy from us. That was the bad formula they did looking at the bilateral trade deficit.So you come back, and we're now in the process of sending out these quote-unquote “letters” to other countries threatening higher tariffs. It doesn't seem to me like there's a rhyme or reason why some countries are getting a letter or some countries aren't. We sent one to Libya, which is not an important trading partner, and we sent one to the Philippines, which is. But the letter to Brazil is half, “Okay, now we remembered that we have these unfair trade practices that we're complaining about,” and then it's half, “You have to let Jair Bolsonaro go and stop prosecuting him for the attempt to stay in power when he lost the election.”It's really hard to say, okay, what is Lula supposed to do? It's one thing to be like, economically, a country like Brazil could lower its tariffs and then the United States would lower its tariff threat. You'd still be worse off than you were at the start of the year. Tariffs would still be higher, trade barriers would still be higher, but they'd at least not be as bad as they could be. But tying it up in this political process makes it much less clear and it's much harder to find an internally consistent push on the political thing. There are out-and-out dictatorships that we have very normal trade relationships with. I think you could say we should just trade with everybody regardless their internal politics, or you could say trade is a tool of specific political grievances that we have, but neither of those principles are being applied consistently.As a business owner, totally separate from the political considerations, is it safe to import something from Mexico? Is Trump going to get upset at Claudia Sheinbaum over internal political matters? I don't know. He was upset with Justin Trudeau for a long period of time. Trudeau got replaced with Mark Carney, who is not exactly the same political figure, but they're in the same party, they're very similar people, and the complaints from Trump have dropped off a cliff. So it's hard to tell what the actual impulse is. I follow this stuff every day, and I have been wrong so many times, it is hard to count. I'll give an example: I thought Trump, last month, was like, “We're going to do 50 percent tariffs on the European Union.” And in my head I was like, “Oh, this makes sense.”With every other major trading partner, we go from a baseline level, we raise to a very large level, we keep that on for a very short amount of time, and then we lower back down to a level that is much higher than what we started at, but much lower than what was in practice. We went from average 20 percent-ish tariffs on China, we went from that to average 40 percent-ish tariffs, and then we went into the mid-100s, and now we're back down to average 50 percent-ish tariffs on China if you count stuff from Trump's first term.So I was like, “Oh, they paused this for 90 days, they're going to come back and they're going to say, ‘Well, everyone except the European Union, everyone except Japan, everyone except Brazil is doing really well in negotiations. We're going to raise tariffs on Brazil to 50 percent for a week and then we're going to lower them back.'” And that was obviously just wrong. They just kicked the can down the road unceremoniously.The goal: higher tariffs (17:53)It's not as though Donald Trump has a specific vision of what he wants the tariff rates to look like in five years, at a number level, per country per good. It's that he wants them to be higher.Do you feel that you have a good understanding, at this point, about what the president wants, ultimately, out of his trade policy?I do. In one word, he wants tariffs to be higher. Beyond that, all of the secondary goals are fungible. Recently, the White House has been saying, “Oh, tariffs don't raise prices,” which is an economic conjecture I think is empirically wrong. You can look at pre- and post-tariff import prices, post-tariff prices are up. It's not a 100 percent being passed through to consumers, but you can see some of that passed through in stuff like toys, and audio equipment, and coffee, and yada, yada.Point being, if you believe that conjecture, then it really can't industrialize the nation because it's implying that foreigners are just absorbing the costs to continue passing products that they make in Japan, or China, or Canada, into the United States. And then inversely, they'll say, “Well, it is industrializing the nation. Look at this investment, this factory that's being built, and we think it's because of the tariffs.”Well, if that's happening, it can't raise revenue. And then they'll come back and say, “Well, actually, it's fixing the budget deficit.” If that's happening, then you're in the worst of both worlds because it's raising prices and you're still importing stuff. So it's hard to find an internally consistent justification.Part of my mental model of how this White House works is that there's different camps on every issue, and it's very much not a consensus institution on policy, but it's also not a top-down institution. It's not as though Donald Trump has a specific vision of what he wants the tariff rates to look like in five years, at a number level, per country per good. It's that he wants them to be higher.He has this general impulse that he wants to reduce trade openness, and then somebody comes up to Trump and goes, “Hey, Mr. President, we should do 25 percent tariffs on cars. Remember where they come from?” And he goes, “That's a good idea.”And then somebody comes up to him and goes, “Hey, Mr. President, we should do a 10 percent baseline tariff on everything that comes into the United States.” And he goes, “That's a good idea.”And then somebody goes and says, “Hey, Mr. President, we should do a tariff that's reciprocal that's based on other countries trade barriers.” And he goes, “That's actually a good idea.”Those are very, very wildly different goals that are conflicting, even in just that area. But it's not that there's one vision that's being spread across all these policies, it's that there's multiple competing visions that are all getting partially implemented.An AI tailwind (20:42)This is the one area where it's only American companies that dominate, and the depth is so high that [other countries] feel like they're not even competing.I see AI as a potential tailwind toward productivity gains, but my concern is that any positive impact may only cancel out the headwinds of current trade and immigration policies, rather than accelerating growth. Is it a big enough tailwind?I do think it's a tailwind, and the US has several distinct advantages specific to AI. The first being that most of the companies that are major players, both from a software-development and from an infrastructure-development point of view, are in the United States. We are here in the DMV, and this is the largest data center cluster on planet Earth, which is kind of crazy that it's in Loudoun County. But that kind of stuff is actually very important. Secondarily, that we have the depth of financing and the expertise that exists in Silicon Valley that is so rare across the rest of the world. So I am optimistic that it will increase GDP growth, increase productivity, maybe not show up as a growth in productivity growth immediately, if that makes sense. Not quite an acceleration, but definitely a positive tailwind and a tailwind that is more beneficial in the United States than it is in other countries.The counter to that is that the AI stuff is obviously not constrained by borders to even a nominal degree, at this point. The fact that everyone talks about DeepSeek, for obvious reasons, but there are tons of models in the Gulf States, in Western Europe, in Australia, and you can access them all from anywhere. The fact that you can access ChatGPT from Europe means that not all the benefits are just captured in the narrow area around open AI headquarters in San Francisco.The secondary thing is that, in my opinion, one of the most important reasons why the United States continues to benefit from this high-tech economy that most other high-income countries are extremely jealous of — you talk to people from Europe, and Japan, and even places like Canada, the prize that they're jealous of is the stuff in Silicon Valley, because they feel like, reasonably, they can make cars and do finance just as well as the Americans. This is the one area where it's only American companies that dominate, and the depth is so high that they feel like they're not even competing. Anyone who wants to found a company moves to San Francisco immediately, but that relies on both a big research ecosystem and also a big immigration ecosystem. I don't know if you saw the Facebook superstars that they're paying, but I believe it was 50 percent non-American-born talent. That's a really big advantage in the United States' case that lots of people want to move to the US to found a company to work for some of these big companies. I don't think that's demolished, but it's clearly partially under threat by a lot of these immigration restrictions.The other important thing to remember is that even though the president's most controversial immigration policies are all about undocumented immigrants, and then to a lesser extent, people who are documented asylees, people who are coming from Haiti, and El Salvador, Venezuela, et cetera, the biggest direct power that they have is over legal immigration, just from a raw numerical standpoint. So the idea that they want to cut back on student visas, they want to cut back on OPT, which is the way that student visas basically start working in the United States, they want to add more intensive restrictions to the H-1B program, those are all going to undermine the benefits that the US will get from having this lead in artificial intelligence.The last thing that I'll say to wrap a big bow around this: We talked about it before, I think that when Trump was like, “We're doing infinity tariffs April 2nd,” there were so many bits of the computer ecosystem that were still tariffed. You would've had a very large tariff on Taiwanese computer parts, which mostly is very expensive TSMC equipment that goes into US data centers. I think that Jensen Huang — I don't know if he personally did this . . . or it was the coalition of tech people, but I am using him as a representative here — I think Jensen Huang went in and was like, “We really badly need this,” and they got their exemption. The Trump administration had been talking about doing tariffs on semiconductors at some point, I'm sure they will come up with something, but in the meantime, right now, we are importing absolute record amounts of large computers. It's at a run-rate of close to $150 billion a year.This is not all computers, this is specific to the kind of large computers that go into data centers and are not for personal or normal business use. I don't know what happens to that, let's say a year and a half from now, if the tariffs are 25 percent, considering how much of the cost of a data center is in the semiconductors. If you're going to have to then say, “Well, we would really like to put this somewhere in Virginia, somewhere in Pennsylvania, somewhere in Arizona, but you have a 25 percent premium on all this stuff, we're going to put it in Vancouver. We're going to put it in somewhere in the Gulf States,” or what I think the administration is very worried about is, “We're going to put it somewhere in China.” That chart of US computer imports, in trade policy, it's really rare to get a chart that is just a straight line up, and this is just a straight line up.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedMicro ReadsPlease check out the website or Substack app for the latest Up Wing economic, business, and tech news contained in this new edition of the newsletter.

La semana pasada Nvidia anunció la reanudación de las ventas de su tarjeta de inteligencia artificial H20 a China tras obtener la autorización del Gobierno estadounidense. Este chip, diseñado específicamente para el mercado chino porque cumplía con las restricciones de exportación que había impuesto Joe Biden, es fundamental para tareas de inferencia de inteligencia artificial, aunque más barato y menos potente que otros como el H100. La decisión llega después de que el Gobierno de Trump bloqueara las exportaciones del H20 en abril como parte de su ofensiva arancelaria. Pero, tras presiones del CEO de Nvidia, Jensen Huang, se ha levantado la prohibición. Los analistas creen que esto forma parte de una tregua comercial no declarada entre EEUU y China, que incluye permitir la venta de semiconductores avanzados a China a cambio de exportaciones de tierras raras, esenciales para el sector tecnológico. Esta medida tiene implicaciones importantes. Para China, el acceso al H20 fortalece su industria de IA, especialmente en inferencia, que ahora requiere más potencia de cálculo que el entrenamiento de modelos. Para EEUU, permitir estas ventas podría debilitar su capacidad de imponer controles de exportación en el futuro, al demostrar que las medidas de seguridad nacional, antes innegociables, ahora están sujetas a acuerdos comerciales. Esto podría limitar su capacidad de negociación a futuro. El H20, aunque inferior al H100 en entrenamiento, es un 20% más rápido en inferencia, lo que lo hace especialmente valioso para modelos como el O3 de OpenAI o el R1 de DeepSeek. Se estima que las ventas del H20 a China generarán entre 10.000 y 15.000 millones de dólares para Nvidia este año, impulsando al mismo tiempo las capacidades chinas. La decisión de levantar la prohibición responde a la postura de asesores como David Sacks y el secretario de Comercio, Howard Lutnick, quienes son de la opinión de que mantener a China dependiente de la tecnología estadounidense es mejor que mantenerla aparte. Pero esto podría ser una ganancia a corto plazo, ya que China lleva años trabajando para reducir su dependencia de semiconductores extranjeros. Priorizan los desarrollos nacionales siempre que les es posible incluso a costa de un menor rendimiento. La disposición de Trump a negociar temas tecnológicos, como este de la H20 y ciertos programas de diseño de chips, nos habla de que puestos a elegir entre un buen acuerdo comercial y eliminar restricciones se queda con lo primero. Algo que no debería extrañarnos ya que en su primer mandato se mostró favorable a relajar todo tipo de sanciones a cambio de beneficios comerciales. Esto, como es obvio, plantea algunos riesgos. Puede facilitar acuerdos a corto plazo muy rentables, pero también lleva a sacrificar ventajas a más largo. La rápida retirada de restricciones arancelarias tras las amenazas chinas de limitar las exportaciones de tierras raras revela hasta que punto la economía estadounidense es dependiente de ellas. Los controles de exportación han dado a EEUU cierta ventaja en la carrera de la inteligencia artificial, lo que no sabemos es cuánto tiempo podrá mantenerla.

Editorial丨High-tech boom helps attract foreign investment

Years of efforts aimed at promoting the country's opening-up and continuously expanding market access for foreign enterprises have gradually paid off. Foreign-funded enterprises now contribute one-third of China's foreign trade, one-fourth of its value-added industrial output, and one-seventh of its tax revenues, and have created more than 30 million jobs over the past five years. It is little wonder therefore that the government should highly value foreign direct investment and always try its best to improve the business environment for foreign capital, so as to make the country a safe and promising destination for foreign investors.多年来,为促进国家对外开放和不断扩大外资企业市场准入所做的努力逐渐取得成效。外资企业目前占中国对外贸易的三分之一,工业增加值的四分之一,税收的七分之一,在过去五年中创造了3000多万个就业机会。因此,毫不奇怪,政府应该高度重视外国直接投资,并始终尽最大努力改善外国资本的商业环境,使该国成为外国投资者的安全和有前景的目的地。The country's 14th Five-Year Plan from 2021 to 2025 set the target of attracting a total of $700 billion in foreign investment, with remarkable progress to be made in both the quantity and quality of utilized foreign investment. Despite the challenges posed by the rise of protectionism and unilateralism in recent years, the utilized foreign investment in China reached $708.73 billion by the end of June, suggesting the country has already achieved its five-year foreign investment target, ahead of schedule.2021年至2025年,中国第十四个五年计划设定了吸引7000亿美元外资的目标,利用外资的数量和质量都将取得显著进展。尽管近年来保护主义和单边主义抬头带来了挑战,但截至6月底,中国利用外资已达7087.3亿美元,表明中国已提前实现其五年外资目标。Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce released on the weekend also indicate that in the first half of this year the number of newly established foreign-invested companies increased by 11.7 percent year-on-year to 30,014, as the country continues to attract foreign capital into high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals and high-end manufacturing.商务部周末发布的统计数据还显示,今年上半年,随着国家继续吸引外资进入人工智能、电子商务、制药和高端制造业等高科技产业,新成立的外商投资企业数量同比增长11.7%,达到30014家。The country's high-tech sector has become a major magnet for foreign capital thanks to its immense potential, with the percentage of utilized foreign investment in China's high-tech sector rising from 28.3 percent of the total in 2019 to 37.4 percent in 2023. In the first half of this year, foreign investment in e-commerce services alone recorded a nearly 130 percent year-on-year surge.由于其巨大的潜力,中国的高科技行业已成为吸引外资的主要力量,中国高科技行业利用外资的比例从2019年的28.3%上升到2023年的37.4%。今年上半年,仅电子商务服务领域的外国投资就同比激增近130%。The development of a highly advanced innovation ecosystem in China has prompted a lot of multinationals to expand their investment in the sector in light of the country's forward-looking strategy. Take BMW for example. The German auto giant plans to establish its first China-based information technology research and development center in Nanjing, which will represent a huge expansion of the company's digital capabilities. The center is set to be BMW's largest IT R&D hub in Asia, and it is designed to strengthen the automaker's global production, sales and after-sales systems through digital solutions rooted in China's rapidly evolving tech landscape. Explaining the decision, Franz Decker, president and CEO of BMW Brilliance Automotive, said during the signing ceremony with the local government on Friday that China "demonstrates remarkable vitality in building a thriving ecosystem for digital innovation".中国高度发达的创新生态系统的发展促使许多跨国公司根据国家的前瞻性战略扩大了对该行业的投资。以宝马为例。这家德国汽车巨头计划在南京建立其第一个中国信息技术研发中心,这将代表该公司数字能力的巨大扩张。该中心将成为宝马在亚洲最大的IT研发中心,旨在通过植根于中国快速发展的技术格局的数字解决方案,加强宝马的全球生产、销售和售后系统。华晨宝马汽车公司总裁兼首席执行官Franz Decker在周五与当地政府的签字仪式上解释了这一决定,他表示,中国“在建立繁荣的数字创新生态系统方面表现出了非凡的活力”。The third China International Supply Chain Expo, which concluded on Sunday in Beijing, has earned a reputation for being a showcase for technological innovation and China's new quality productive forces. The expo highlighted how the country has embraced an innovation-driven development strategy in pursuit of high-quality development, which is expected to bring immense business opportunities for foreign companies. "Here in China ... the technology adoption is so fast," said Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO, during an interview on the sidelines of the expo, citing how China's innovative applications are setting global trends. "The supply chain of China is a miracle. It is the largest and most complex in the world ... built on deep technology, AI and software."第三届中国国际供应链博览会于周日在北京闭幕,以展示技术创新和中国新型优质生产力而闻名。世博会强调了中国如何采取创新驱动的发展战略,追求高质量的发展,这有望为外国公司带来巨大的商机。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在世博会间隙接受采访时表示:“在中国……技术采用如此之快。”他引用了中国创新应用如何引领全球趋势。“中国的供应链是一个奇迹。它是世界上最大、最复杂的……建立在深厚的技术、人工智能和软件之上。”There have been some pointing to the actual use of FDI in China dropping 15.2 percent in the January-June period from a year earlier. Yet it should be noted that was amid a global decline in foreign investment, and the total volume of utilized FDI in China is 423.23 billion yuan, which remains significant. The decline can be attributed to the high comparison base last year. Any attempt to hype that foreign investment is leaving the country is out of ill intent.有人指出,1月至6月期间,中国实际使用的外国直接投资比去年同期下降了15.2%。然而,应该指出的是,在全球外国投资下降的情况下,中国利用的外国直接投资总额为4232.3亿元,仍然很可观。这一下降可归因于去年的高比较基数。任何炒作外国投资正在离开该国的企图都是出于恶意。In the past five years, the rate of return on FDI in China, at nearly 9 percent, still ranks among the highest around the world. It is the consensus among foreign investors that China remains an attractive destination for investment, not only because of its huge growth prospects, but also due to consistent government support aimed at enabling foreign-funded enterprises to achieve even greater success, as exemplified in an action plan that China released early this year to stabilize foreign investment.在过去的五年里,中国的外国直接投资回报率接近9%,仍然是世界上最高的。外国投资者普遍认为,中国仍然是一个有吸引力的投资目的地,这不仅是因为其巨大的增长前景,还因为政府一贯支持外资企业取得更大的成功,正如中国今年年初发布的一项稳定外国投资的行动计划所证明的那样。No matter how the external environment may evolve, China remains firmly committed to high-standard opening-up and always welcomes foreign companies to keep investing in China and explore the Chinese market to enjoy the country's development dividends and progress together.无论外部环境如何变化,中国都坚定地致力于高标准的对外开放,始终欢迎外国公司继续在中国投资,开拓中国市场,共同享受国家的发展红利和进步。multinationaln.跨国公司/ˌmʌltɪˈnæʃənəl/remarkable vitalityn.非凡的生命力/rɪˈmɑːkəbl vaɪˈtælɪti/
