It's definitely time to buy. 200 USD by end of 2027.
First cloud now AI. Chyna doesn’t give a shit about their tech companies.
It’s actually both. They want SOEs to succeed because it keeps the CCP in power. But they need private tech to succeed because they want to be competitive with the U.S.
They want tech to be successful not shareholders to thrive
They are seeking a super intelligence to succeed Xi and teach the true meaning of Communism.
Will we be hearing "delisting" threats again soon?
