Interesting that the golden age of martial arts movies from china may be resurrected in animation instead of live action. The choreography of Ne Zha is top notch and animation can be more appealing to an international audience, like it can be dubbed quickly and put on Netflix

If brands like Luckin and Guming's Good me wants to expand abroad, and they should, they're giving the likes of Starbucks a run for their money with a good, affordable product, they really need to consider their brand and name - what worked in china can really struggle abroad.

Starbucks is not doing well not just because of lower consumer spending in china, but also of increasing competition from local brands like Luckin coffee which has a more efficient business model in some cases and a better spread of locations, especially in tier 2 cities

This is the kind of sci-fi tech that we were promised in everything from Star Trek to Star Wars to Marvel Avengers movies. It's not quite holograms, but smart windows with touchscreen tech as seen on the subway trains in china is still the kind of UI / UX we expect in the future.

Congratulations to Ne Zha 2 for becoming the highest grossing animated film of all time!
It has beaten both The Lion King (2019) and Inside Out 2 in the box office.

A chinese game studio is releasing a PS5 game based in London and on Arthurian legends called Tides of Annihilation. For those who don't know, there us a growing consensus among male gamers that DEI is making female characters ugly, pushing them towards supporting chinese games.

Animation should always be viewed as equal to, not lesser than, Live Action movies. However, if we apply this animation filter, a chinese film called Nezha / Ne Zha 2 has now taken the top spot in terms of revenue, beating out Inside Out 2.

DeepSeek continues innovating with NSA or Native Sparse Attention, allowing AI to process incredibly long pieces of text much more efficiently. Again, the efficiency play here is due to compute shortage in china, but the inefficiency of Full Attention is undeniable.

If you thought it was fake CGI, Unitree shows the dancing robot with human interaction, by beating it with a stick and ensuring that our future robot overlords will hold a grudge. They also got rid of the audio watermark, chinese companies need to be more careful with this stuff.

As impressive as it is to make robots resemble human motion as closely as possible with RL, like Unitree from china have done here, we should consider other forms for embodied AI. Human body, four legged lower half, or the centaur, can be more energy efficient.
