The European Union takes another step to make it legal to charge us for hand luggage

by

It is just one more step but it is very relevant if we take into account the battle that Government and Ryanair are fighting in Spain for this reason. Europe has taken another step for airlines to charge for hand luggage through a modification in the regulations to which travelers accept when they fly inside the European Union. And it is not the only relevant change. What has been approved? The European Union Council, formed in this case by the Ministers of Transportation of the Member Countries, has voted in favor of modifying the regulations with which the airlines have to comply within the European Union. The text is about the collection of the hand suitcase but also compensation in case of delay. According to the Information sent by the Council of Europeit is about defining better “with lighter and more direct rules” the rules to which passengers have to submit. And they emphasize that “they will bring more than 30 new rights to aerial passengers, applicable from the moment they buy the ticket, until they reach their destination, and in some cases even beyond. It is a historical milestone, since an agreement could not have been reached in the last 12 years.” Are all countries agree? No, the proposed text has been approved with the opposite votes of Spain Germany, Portugal and Slovenia. Austria and Estonia have refrained. In eldiario.es They point out that the meeting has extended much more than expected since there was no consensus on some points such as the times that must be overcome before compensating passengers. Click on the image to go to the original post Why does Spain complain? Spain has voted against the proposition because, According to Pablo BustinduyMinister of Consumption, “the Council has adopted a new regulation for aerial passengers that ends with the free of hand luggage that enters the cabin and reduces the right to claim for the delays of airlines.” The new text specifies that “additional rates applied by the transport of billed and not invoiced luggage” can be charged. That “not invoiced” is the key because it reinforces Ryanair’s thesis that there are no maximum required measures in which the size of the handbag is specified and, therefore, they will have a totally free way to maintain their current policy. From the government they point out that it is a mistake and that the measure has been promoted by “the airline lobby.” And Bustinduy emphasizes: “This new text confirms what we already knew: to charge for the hand luggage that enters the cabin or for the companion seat of a dependent person is illegal with the current legislation. That is why airlines have pressed both to legitimize this abusive practice with a new regulation” Not just luggage. In addition to hand luggage, the new text opens a new path for the right of passenger rights in case of delay. If the text is maintained until its final approval, the times that must pass before compensation will also be changed that, until now, was applied when the delay was greater than three hours. So, You want to approve new conditions: Trips of less than 3,500 km and trips within the EU: Compensation for delays of more than 4 hours (€ 300) Trips of more than 3,500 km: Compensation for delays of more than 6 hours (€ 500) Why is it relevant? The Government and Ryanair maintain an intense dispute in Spain. Ryanair only allows Free access to a lump of a maximum of 40x20x25 cm. That barely leaves space for a brief backpack and There are those who are doing business with it. For the Government, this way of acting is illegal because they ensure that it does not meet the minimum taxes by the European Union that talks about companies are obliged to allow the entry of “essential” luggage. This led the government to impose a fine that added 179 million euros to five airlines (Ryanair, Vueling, Easyjet, Norwegian and Volotea). Ryanair, the most punished, took a fine of more than 107 million euros. However, Justice has not shown preference Clara for any of the actors. In Spain, some courts have failed In favor of the user When it comes to claiming the money charged by the hand suitcase but others have proved the right To the Irish company. The Government-Ryanair battle. From the application of the fine, Ryanair and the government live an intense battle that has left us all kinds of scenarios: Remember that Ryanair is the company that greater volume of flights has in Spain And, therefore, its departure from some regional airports has seriously injured the activity that moved there, Like Valladolid’s. Is everything said? No, the text now has to pass the European Parliament Filter and it remains to be seen to what extent there is consensus. The change in the European Union Council has been approved by little (more than 15 countries that represent more than 65% of the population) and explain in eldiario.es that there have been differences when approved the increase in the necessary times before compensating passengers due to delays, this being the most thorny point.

Reddit has become the best human data source. AI is trying to prey them

by

Everyone wants Reddit data. And they want them why they are data humans. That is the Great value of a platform which has become the crown jewel of AI companies. They want to use that data To train their AI modelsand Reddit is tired of trying without asking for permission … and without paying. Reddit demands Anthropic. The social network, fed up with this type of behaviorhas registered a lawsuit against Anthropic, the creators of Claude, so consider a contract violation and for participating in “illicit and unfair commercial acts” when using the platform and data of the social media company without authorization. Or what is the same: for stealing the data for your AI. Blunt criticism. In The demand Reddit’s legal managers begin strong: “Anthropic is an artificial intelligence company of late flourishing that proclaims the white gentleman of the artificial intelligence industry. It’s anything but that.” According to Reddit, Anthropic shows a public face in which he presumes his respect for the law and doing things legitimately, and another private “that ignores any rule that interferes with his attempts to fill his pockets even more.” Human data treasure. Reddit has become In a valuable source of human information. If someone looks for answers, experiences and opinions in raw, this is the platform that has ended up becoming an absolute reference. In Reddit they know it. His legal manager, Ben Lee, explained in The Verge the following: “Reddit’s humanity has a unique value in a world flattened by AI. Now more than ever, people seek authentic conversations between humans. Reddit houses almost 20 years of rich and human debates about practically all imaginable topics. These conversations do not occur anywhere else and are fundamental to train linguistic models such as Claude.” Reddit began to protect himself very soon. Knowing that his “human data” were that great treasure with which to make box, Reddit began to make movements for take advantage of that data very soon. A few months after the launch of ChatgPT, it appeared that He made his APIas shortly before I had done Elon Musk with X/Twitter. He controversial movement It was clearly aimed at protecting the platform from those birds of prey in which IA companies had become. Then the demands would begin. If you want my data, pay. Reddit’s policy has been clear from the beginning, and there have been companies that have assumed the message. Google was one of the first to reach an agreement with Reddit and paid 60 million dollars to the platform To train your AI models with that data. OpenAi ended up doing the samealthough the amount that was paid to Reddit has never been revealed. Anthropic Discrepa. An Email from Anthropic to CNBC reveals that “we disagree with Reddit’s complaints and we will defend ourselves vigorously.” Interestingly, Anthropic herself has blocked the access of her Claude model to Windsurf, the newly acquired programming startup by Openai. One of its co -founders He affirmed that “it would be rare for us to sell (the API of) Claude a OpenAi.” It is a reasonable argument – and debatable – but it does not seem to be equally logic in the case of Reddit. But it already has other pending demands. That statement contrasts with two other demands that Anthropic has received in the last two years. Last August, three authors sued it in a Federal Court in California for having “built a billionaire business stealing hundreds of thousands of copyright“Before, in October 2023, Universal Music also sued her in Tennessee for a” systematic and generalized violation of the copyright of the lyrics of his songs. “The record giant He lost that battleHowever, which meant a disturbing victory for the technological ones. Internet looting continues. It is another case of that Absolute looting that AI companies are carrying out on the Internet. None of them savealthough of course there are flagrant cases such as perplexity or the recent scandal of Goal downloading books from books with copyright to train their models. If there are data that can be used to improve the quality of these models, companies try to get them, and it is just what happens with Reddit. The IAS do not want copyright. This whole process is part of a worrying phenomenon: there is still not punishment for all these companies despite being violating copyright. Openai already asked for a white letter to operate In that field, but other companies They joined that unusual proposal to eradicate copyright lawsat least for their AI models. The argument of “fair use” remains its great shield in front of these demands, but the reality is that the months go by, we insist, there is still no consequences for this flagrant robbery of the internet content.

There is already an autonomous community taking note of the blackout and putting measures to avoid it: Catalonia

by

The electrical invoice It has risen After the blackout for the reinforcement system, but the real challenge is not only in reinforcing the system, but in transforming it. Catalonia has understood and got to work. Short. The Government of Catalonia has approved by urgent a new decree-law with the aim of increasing the resilience of the electrical system. The standard introduces reforms both in energy legislation and urban regulations to facilitate energy transition. Specifically, it modifies Decree Law 16/2019, oriented to climate emergency, and adapts the regulatory framework to accommodate energy storage through batteries. A double purpose. On the one hand, it streamlines the administrative process of renewable energy projects. On the other hand, and pioneer, regulates the installation of high -power batteries, both independent (Stand Alone) as hybridized with solar and wind farms. In addition, the Catalan Government has decided to grant these infrastructure the condition of higher public interest, which allows them to be installed even on non -urbanizable land, by legally equating them with technical services of public utility. This measure responds to an old demand for the energy storage sector in Spain, As it took place in the AEPIBAL Day. Treading the accelerator. The Generalitat has processed 94 Energy storage projects through batteries. Of these, 87 are independent and add up to 920 MW, while the other 7 are hybridized with renewable facilities and provide additional 22 MW. Catalonia thus becomes one of the first communities to create a specific regulatory framework for these technologies. The rest trapped in an obsolete framework. As experts in the energy sector pointed out To Xatakathe storage problem is not only technical, but also regulatory and economic. Today, batteries that are not linked to self -consumption cannot participate in balance markets, which hinders their profitability and slows its mass implementation. However, beyond the regulations, the future of storage will also depend on technological and economic evolution. Technologies like him Grid formingwhich allows batteries to stabilize the network imitating the inertia of traditional centrals, or the development of local micro -redes Able to operate autonomously, they are already being successfully tested. Criticisms have jumped. Battery deployment has also aroused social and critical resistance resistance. According to publicsome groups have warned of the risk that the energy transition becomes a new form of extractivism, without rethinking the consumption model. Specifically they have accused the project of the Korean company Lotte in Mont-Roig of the Camp. In addition, organizations such as the Observatori del Deute in Globalització (ODG) have remembered the same medium as the extraction of materials such as lithium, tungsten or sodium depends on mines in countries such as Chile or Australia, which reinforces the dependence of external resources and raises environmental and geopolitical dilemmas. A map yet to define. Catalonia wanted to advance with a strategy that seeks to combine energy resilience, administrative agility and technological impulse. Storage by batteries is not just a technical solution: it is an essential piece to balance an increasingly decentralized, renewable and exposed crisis system. The road is drawn. The question is whether the rest of Spain will know – and want – follow it on time.

In case the chips war did not have enough contestants, a new company has joined the race: Spacex

by

Spacex does everything big. Last year he opened in Bastrop, a small town in Texas (USA), The manufacturing plant of largest printed circuit plates in the country. The company of the company led by Elon Musk consists in producing all components, or, at least, most of them, involved in the manufacture of their satellites For the Starlink Network. This strategy will allow Spacex to save costs and reduce its dependence on the distribution chain. However, this is just the beginning of the path you will travel. And is that, according to Digitimes Asiathis company plans to expand its Bastrop facilities with the purpose of tuning the equipment you need to package semiconductors. Before moving forward we are interested in reviewing what the two concepts are in which we have just inquired. A printed circuit plate or PCB for its English denomination (Printed Circuit Board) It is a sheet manufactured in an insulating material, such as fiberglass, which contains on its surface the copper tracks through which electricity will circulate in an integrated circuit or electronic component. On the other hand, Chips packaging It is the process that seeks to protect the integrated circuit by introducing it into an encapsulated or protective housing. In addition, it incorporates the necessary connections to install it into a printed circuit plate and allow it to communicate with other electronic components. Spacex’s irruption in the integrated circuit industry is underway The administration led by Donald Trump has proposed to develop the semiconductor industry as much as necessary for the US to not depend on any other country. Currently this nation Buy 92% from its avant -garde semiconductors to TSMC in Taiwan. And the US government intends to manufacture 28% of avant -garde chips of the planet in 2032 considering as advanced integrated circuits those produced with a more sophisticated integration technology than that of 10 Nm. Currently the chips that Spacex uses are packaged by stmicroelectronics and innolux The steps that Spacex is taking support the strategy that the US government is deploying, but, as I mentioned a few lines above, first of all they pursue save costs and minimize its current dependence on the distribution chain. At the moment Most of the chips That this company from Elon Musk uses in the manufacture of its satellites are packaged by the Franco-Cabalian company Stmicroelectronics and the Taiwanese innolux. Presumably when the expansion of the Bastrop Plant is a list of the packaging will be commissioned by Spacex itself. From that moment on, this company will manufacture its own PCB and package its integrated circuits, so its next logical movement will be in all likelihood to build a semiconductor manufacturing plant. The SpaceX satellite network currently brings together about 7,700 devices in orbit, and this company intends to launch over the next few years 32,000 more satellites with the purpose of giving coverage to the entire planet. In addition, some of these satellites are used by the US government, so controlling the entire production chain of these devices will allow Spacex to optimize the performance of their business and guarantee the safety and integrity of its satellite network.

Why the Atlantic heated so much

by

In March 2023 the average temperature of the Atlantic Ocean began to beat records. During the following months, the thermal average of the oceanic surface remained above any record, but It would be in summer of that year When the situation would become absolutely anomalous, with the average temperature reaching 25.37º Celsius. Almost two years. A new study has passed almost two years and now He has revealed What were the ingredients of that extraordinary situation. Although climate change would have played an important role, the study points to a combination between anomalous winds and high solar radiation. August 31. For Understand anomalywe can start from a date: on August 31, 2023. That day the average temperature of the North Atlantic was 25.37º Celsius According to the database of Climate Resanalyzer from the University of Maine. This is 1.15º above the average temperature on the same day during the period 1991-2020; and 1.39º above the average of August 31 between 1982 and 2010. The second most warm August in this context would be 2024. That year the maximum average temperature reached by the waters would be 25.1º, on August 27. That day the thermal anomaly was 0.88º or 1.12º according to the reference used. Different layers. To understand what happened we must take into account that the ocean water is not uniform in terms of temperature, density and salinity. In this sense, we can distinguish a superficial layer from the rest of the ocean. This layer would be warmer as a direct consequence of solar radiation, but the degree to which temperature accumulates depends on other factors beyond the energy it receives from our star. Normally, this layer expands to depths of between 20 and 40 meters, Explain the team responsible for the study. In 2023, the layer was very fine, about 10 meters. The layer, less water to “distribute” solar energy, and with it, more heat. Ok but why did the superficial layer diminish so much? This is where the winds come into play or, rather, their absence. The wind is partly responsible for moving the ocean waters, stirring them and thus favoring the interaction between the layers. In the summer months of 2023 the winds in the Atlantic were, according to the team responsible for the study, weaker than usual. The weight of climate change. The team indicates that, although this “maritime heat wave” was an extraordinary event, climate change could increase the frequency with which events of this type occur. As they explain, this phenomenon could slow the winds, which would facilitate the accumulation of heat on the ocean surface. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature. Sulfur and its effect. There is another factor that, although it was not central to the study, must also be included in the list of factors that contributed to this thermal anomaly, and is sulfur or, again, its absence. In 2020 there was a change in the regulations for maritime transport that limited sulfur emissions from this sector. The problem occurred because, when the presence of this pollutant in the atmosphere was reduced, the number of particles around which the atmospheric humidity can be condensed, thus forming less clouds and increasing the solar radiation that reaches the surface of our planet can also be reduced. Consequences beyond the coast. The North Atlantic temperature affects millions of people. One of the currents of this region, the circulation of southern overturning of the Atlantic (AMOC) plays a fundamental role in maintaining fresh and non -icy European winters as in latitudes similar to the other side of the Atlantic. Although it is precisely in the American area where the effect of a warm Atlantic more concern generates, and it is Due to hurricanes. One of the key ingredients of these tropical storms is a warm oceanic surface that allows them to capture energy, which implies that events such as 2023 can lead to uniquely destructive hurricane seasons.

The calls spam from numbers 600 and 700 will be prohibited from tomorrow. The question is where you will call you now

by

Saturday, June 7. It is the date on which the normative reform through which the realization of commercial calls from numbers assigned to mobile lines comes into force It is prohibited. The Minister for Digital and Public Transformation advanced in mid -May two amendments to achieve it. From that date, the operators cannot call you from a 6xx number, they will have to do it from an 800 or 900. The question now is what number we can call. The change. Until now, companies had free way to Call you from phone numbers with prefix 6 or 7the same ones that have any individual on your mobile phone. It was a tactic that prevented the user from recognizing a first glance whether or not they were calling him from an advertising department, and one with which the Government will end immediately. From June 7, any call for commercial purposes must be made from a number with prefix 800 or 900. It will be the way we will have the Spaniards to recognize when they are calling us for advertising purposes. Additional to this measure, companies They can’t call you from foreign numbersnor formalize the closure of a contract by phone. The reactions. Digi, one of the operators that grows the most in Spain and aspires to occupy the national top 3 in the short term, It has been the first to move file. Until now, the company could contact the number 642 642 642 and 1200. With the new change, the new customer service is 919 120 120. All calls received from customer service will be from that 900, a practice that the rest of the operators will have to follow immediately to comply with the new regulation. At the moment, giants like Vodafone Where will you have to call you. As a consumer, when calling, change will affect you in cases where the company completely eliminates the number 600 for customer service. The law forces them to call you from 900, but does not prohibit that you call a 600. It will be necessary to inform themselves on the website of each of the companies to know how the changes have applied. Companies are obliged to replace this prefix for a 900 or 800 for their outgoing calls, but Digi has shown that “The easy number” (1200, 1004, 1444) which we always call will remain alive. It is a logical movement, since the legislation does not modify the numbers to those we call Consumers only affect numbers From those who call us. The problem. Although the government wants to reduce the impact of the so -called spam in Spain, the underlying problem remains alive: The consent. Even if you are in the Robinson list, you may receive calls from companies that you think you have not given permission. Sometimes, we have been able to give consent without even knowing it (having formalized a contract, giving a “yes” during a call, etc.). The foundations of “Legitimate interest” They are also diffuse. If the company calls to improve our service and offer discounts, It can be considered as a desired communication.

The rumors placed the power of Nintendo Switch 2 at the height of PS4 Pro. ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ arrives to solve doubts

by

What generation belongs Nintendo Switch 2. That was one of the unresolved questions about the new Nintendo console. Since the company left the Power War After the disaster of Game Cubeit has gone free and, although technically it would be the first tenth console, it is also logical to put it in the sack of the ninth generation (PS5, Xbox Series x and SERIES s). Perhaps this generations has ceased to make sense when they exist Consoles ‘Pro’but it serves to get an idea of ​​what are the like, at least in terms of power, which each machine has. Answering this in the case of Switch 2 is even more complicated because … we don’t know almost anything about your processor. But with the console in hand, we can get a better idea of Where is Nintendo Switch 2 next to its rivals. And the game that best exposes the power of the new switch is’Cyberpunk 2077‘. It is also the one that surprised me the most and the one that demonstrates what can be done with this hardware if the weapons it offers well Nvidia and its image reconstruction. “The Switch 2 chip does not resemble anything we have created before” From the announcement of the console on April 2 with A GAME RETA among which there were versions of other consoles such as’Final Fantasy VII Intergrade‘,’Yakuza 0‘,’Hitman‘, a better version of’Hogwarts Legacy‘,’Street Fighter 6‘And the aforementioned’ Cyberpunk 2077 ‘, began to tote about the power of the console. After several comparisons, it was speculated with the possibility that Switch 2 be like a Ps4 pro. This, although it may seem little, is considerable because we are talking about A very low consumption machine which is compatible with state -of -the -art technologies (VRRfor example) and that can work without being connected to the current. Based on the filtered and speculated characteristics of the Nvidia chip that mounts the console, a GMLX30-A1 manufactured by Samsunga user in Reddit He created a very interesting thread by renovating the estimated power of the machine and comparing it with other consoles. While Gflops are very similar to those of a PS4 Pro, the bandwidth was considerably less than that of the Sony console. It is something that gave rise to that perhaps Switch 2 would not be so powerful, but even without concrete data of the processor’s frequencies, you have to trust the tests of these first games and what has recently commented Jensen HuangCEO of Nvidia. Nintendo has been creating videos in which developers and members involved in the system share their impressions of Nintendo Switch 2. All are quite vaguewithout much concrete data, and Huang’s is no different. However, it does leave some pearls. Beyond that claim of “the Nintendo Switch 2 chip, it does not resemble anything we have done before”, the interesting thing is that it confirms that the console can handle rays of hardware and the SOC has AI processors “dedicated to improving the sharpness in real time.” That is, although the generation of this Soc It is not the most leading, Nvidia has introduced the necessary processes to climb the image from a lower native resolution in the personalized chip (what the DLSS) and the processors for the Hardware Raytraction. ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, Switch 2 exponent Ok, that says the CEO of the company that created the Switch 2 soc and we already know that there are always inflated statements and marketing in these things, but … What do the games say? In the video we leave at the beginning of the article, you can see the first minutes of ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ running in ‘quality’ mode when the console is connected to the dock. The sensations are very good and it shows that CD Projakt, the study responsible for the game, has done a great job These weeks. Because? Because in the demo that We could try a month ago in Paristhe performance in desktop mode was quite poor, with constant falls in the rate of Frames For the second. In the final version, it is much more stable and, above all, it looks very good on both TV and, above all, on the console screen. It is where it shines, in my opinion, due to the enormous difference between this version of switch 2 and, for example, that of a similar system: Steam Deckalso Use image climbing technologiesbut with a more blurred result in general. But a good way to really appreciate where Nintendo Switch 2 is about its rivals, is this video of the channel ‘THE BIT Analyst‘. In it, compares Nintendo Switch 2 with PS4 Pro and with the weakest console of this generation, Xbox Series S. does it in ‘performance’ mode and ‘quality’ on all platforms and conclusions are very interesting. The first, the resolution. Thanks to DLSS, it reaches 1080p In both desktop and laptop mode in ‘quality’ mode, recessing from different base resolutions already 3 fps. In ‘Performance’, the 1080p are maintained in desktop, but on the lower screen to 720p. The frame rate in this mode rises to 40, but is not entirely stable. In consoles, yes, it goes to 60 in this way. The user states that, thanks to DLSS, Switch 2 maintains an image quality comparable to the versions of PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S, with better textures and effects such as the Environmental occlusion in the Nintendo console with respect to these two competitors. It also compares with PS5, the Nintendo hybrid is quite well stopped, although with notable differences in the quality of some parameters and, above all, a higher resolution in the Sony console. The summary is that it is a very solid versionsomething that can also be seen in other games launched for the machine such as the aforementioned ‘Yakuza 0’ or ‘Street Fighter 6’, both a midpoint between PS4 and PS5, and superior When seen in the version of Xbox Series S. Said this, I am clear that Nintendo Switch 2 … Read more

Huawei is getting unstoppable. Everything he is doing seeks to beat Nvidia in both in China and beyond

by

Huawei is determined to gradually absorb the market share that keeps Nvidia in China. Until just a few months ago this last company monopolized Something more than 90% of the Chinese market of the chips for artificial intelligence (AI), but after the entry into force of the last US sanctions package its leadership is all likely to be compromised. Even so, Nvidia has a very important asset that is helping her defend her presence in the Chinese market: CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). Most of the AI ​​projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the Chinese market. These are the two great buzas of Huawei to beat Nvidia Huawei wants to snatch the leadership in performance in AI applications from NVIDIA. His most ambitious proposal right now is the chip Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the GPU NVIDIA H100. However, this Chinese company has also recently presented its chip Ascend 920a solution that is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that it will leave The H20 GPU of Nvidia. This proposal will enter large -scale production during the second half of 2025 using 6 NM integration technology that have presumably developed elbow with Huawei elbow and SMIC. It is evident that to grow in the market is essential have good hardwarebut it is also crucial to position itself strongly in training the great language models, in Inference processesor, better yet, in both contexts. “Training is important, but it only happens a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inference, which will ultimately give us access to more customers.” This declaration of Georgios Zacharopoulos, a senior researcher of AI who works on the acceleration of inference in the Huawei laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland) clearly reflects The effort that this company has made for years to dominate inference: “Training is important, but only a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inference, which will ultimately give us access to more customers.” Inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of Generate the answers which correspond to the requests they receive. In any case, the information we have reflects that the GPU Ascend 910D will allow Huawei to compete with the chips for the most advanced NVIDIA both in inference and in training. The US response to the steps that Huawei is not taking long to arrive. And is that the Department of Commerce has approved a resolution whereby no country on the planet can buy the GPUs for the Ascend de Huawei. According to this American institution, this Chinese company has produced these chips using US technologies illegally, so its export outside the country borders governed by Xi Jinping violates the export controls of the Department of Commerce. In practice to the US it will cost a lot to control the commercial flow of the GPUs for Huawei outside China, especially when these semiconductors They go to allies of the latter country. Its strategy to exert pressure on countries interested in getting the Huawei chips is to announce fines, the possibility of revoking export rights, and even establishing criminal consequences.

China is merging three technologies into a single competitive weapon. In the West we continue to see them as something separate

In 2007, Steve Jobs announced that he was going to present “three revolutionary devices”: A music player with touch screen. A mobile phone. An Internet browser. Then he revealed that there were not three separate products, but one: the iPhone. China is doing Something similar to its industrial revolution. Why is it important. While Europe and the United States deal with 5G, AI and renewable energies as independent sectors that compete for resources and attention, China has merged them into a general purpose technology capable of promoting productivity in all industries at the same time. The context. The strategy “Made in China 2025“It focused on ten specific priority sectors: from new materials to transport equipment. Ten years later, China is world leader in several fields (high -speed trains, energy infrastructure …), but continues to depend on foreign technology in more sophisticated areas such as aerospace or high performance medical devices. In figures. China has reduced its Technological Import Dependency Americans and European: 351 Product categories in 2000 A 177 in 2022. In parallel, the United States and the European Union now depend on China for 953 categories of products, three times more than at the beginning of the century. What has happened. The approach evolved towards What Xi Jinping calls “new productive forces”concept that put in the center of decisions since 2023. He Third Plenary of the Communist Party in 2024 He stressed the need to integrate AI, new materials and quantum technology. The key: the deployment of advanced technologies generates domestic demand for them, creating a cycle that further enhances industrial competitiveness. Advances in communications, operating systems, clean technologies and biotechnologies improve productivity, safety and quality in other sectors. A virtuous circle. Yes, but. This bet directed by the State is face and risky. The allocation of resources can become less efficient and has obvious side effects. Although economic reforms have improved the standard of living of the middle classes, the model focused on industry and technology has damaged the mood of the consumer and its disposition to spending. The threat. China does not want to rebalance its economy towards consumption and accepts negative – national and international consequences – while pursuing its manufacturing objectives. This includes internal socioeconomic conflicts, commercial surpluses and geopolitical competence by technology. You will have to address these effects at some point, but at the moment its formula works: integrate technologies that others treat separately to create a systemic competitive advantage.
