ubgbhgbhgbhgg There doesn’t seem to be an archive of this yet. I would love to see a concrete source I keep seeing it around. Everything keeps leading back to a Beijing international news company which I’m a little wary of. It’s possible this is a ploy to try to reduce investment in china, not that it’d work lol.
In any case I cant confidently share it until I find something more concrete. As the person and the business aren’t even named. It also keeps being covered as a “This makes AI and gadgets in China more expensive.”
This is the actual Xinhua article that all those western slop sites are almost certainly referring without sourcing:

(To be fair, most of them probably don’t know the source either, as all they do is copy each other)
