This is CBSI on the world.

I'm John Batchelor.

I welcome my dear colleague and correspondent of AI and quantum.

Brandon Weikert of National Interest,

is most recent book that connects to the story we're about to tell

as biohacked about our adversaries in

the People's Republic of China stealing, imagine that, thieving, imagine that, the best and

most ambitious biological projects in the U.S. and big pharma. But we're turning to something

that is more sophisticated. It's not

outright theft. It's presumptive theft. It's boasting about something a mayor and not be true

for other means in the People's Republic of China. Brendan, a very good day to you, and this is an

opportunity for us to reflect on 25 and look to 26.

In this particular correspondence, however, I can't hold back the smiles that came to me when I saw an FT, a big story,

and I'm eager for your reaction as well.

It's got a title that tells the story.

China boosts AI chip output by upgrading older ASML machines.

Translation.

ASML is the top of the pile for making fabs, for producing fabs in Europe.

Those fabs are shipped to a number of places, but chiefly to the

TSM people in Taiwan. They receive the architecture of Envidia's high-end chips and make those

chips. That is what China is denied because it is a brute and untrustworthy and steals everything it touches.

That's why.
