CGTN: Tech, politics and ambition: How Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou stepped into a perfect storm between China and U.S.

Leave a comment

Meng Wanzhou’s release reveals Washington’s attempt to prevent its stiff competition with Beijing from veering into a conflict, but it’s far from being a reversal in bilateral tensions.

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2021 — "I’m finally back home," Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou said when landing at the Shenzhen airport Saturday evening.

 

After nearly three years of being held under house arrest in Canada, Meng and her legal team reached a deal with the U.S. Justice Department on Friday which allowed her to return to China. The moment marked the end of a prolonged legal and political saga which took place amid rising tensions between Beijing and Washington.

Shortly after the deal was reached, Meng boarded a charter Air China flight headed to the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen where Huawei is based.

Meng, 49, has not pleaded guilty to fraud charges. Under the agreement, she will not be prosecuted further in the U.S. and the extradition proceedings in Canada will be terminated, according to a statement released by William Taylor III, one of the lawyers representing Meng.

"Facts have already proven that this is a political persecution against a Chinese citizen and its aim is to suppress Chinese high-tech companies," said China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying on Saturday.

What happened three years ago?

On December 1, 2018, Canadian authorities arrested Meng at the request of the U.S. government which accused her of wire fraud and sought her extradition. The incident took place as the Trump administration adopted an aggressive approach in dealing with China on a variety of issues including trade and technology.

Four months before Meng’s arrest, the U.S. government fired the opening salvo against Chinese high-tech companies by issuing a ban on the federal government use of products by Huawei and ZTE – two leading Chinese providers of telecom equipment, citing security concerns. The following year, Huawei was added to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Entity List, which effectively banned American companies from doing business with the Chinese tech giant.

Why now?

Over the past three years, Meng’s detention has been a thorny issue between Beijing and Washington. Tensions that were unfathomable years ago have taken an incendiary crescendo.

There are two factors that facilitated her release, according to Guo Changlin, a former senior diplomat at the Chinese Embassy in the U.S.

"U.S. President Joe Biden is looking to meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 summit in person. [Also] Justin Trudeau has just been re-elected as Canadian prime minister [by a narrow margin] and is eager to fling off Meng’s case, which after all has been a protracted bone of contention between China and Canada," Guo told CGTN during a phone interview.

Despite Washington’s hardline China policy, Biden himself developed a close relationship with Xi when the two were vice presidents. Biden has been to China four times and the two met 11 times in person, noted Li Cheng, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution.

"My point was that when I came back from meeting with him [Xi] and traveling 17,000 miles with him … – that’s how I got to know him so well," Biden remarked during a February town hall meeting.

"They have a personal friendship but how far Biden could go in light of nationwide anti-China sentiments remains to be seen," said Guo.

Li believes that Biden has to flex his muscles since the U.S. voter base is increasingly embracing the anti-China messaging. "He’s not that confrontational himself," he added.

What does Meng’s release mean to China-U.S. ties?

The release shows Washington’s attempt to prevent the stiff competition from spiraling out of control, but it falls short of being a reversal in bilateral tensions, according to Guo. The charges against Huawei remain in place, and the tech giant is still on the U.S. blacklist.

The tech war is brewing. The U.S. pioneered the third industrial revolution and it’s been at the very top of the pyramid over the decades. However, on the threshold of the 21st century, China and the U.S. have become fierce contenders in the fourth industrial revolution, which is dominated by chips and algorithms.

The White House listed China as "the only competitor potentially capable of combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power" in its Interim National Security Strategic Guidance.

"The end of the engagement era could date back to 2010 when China became the world’s second largest economy," said Guo. When China’s GDP exceeded 60 percent of that of the U.S. in 2014, hostility further grew, with containment policies ranging from trade to human rights over the years.

Washington’s attempt to contain Beijing in the high-tech realm predates Donald Trump’s trade war and continues to this day. A hi-tech decoupling looks inevitable.

CCTV+: Xi calls for global sci-tech innovation cooperation at opening of 2021 Zhongguancun (ZGC) Forum

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2021 — Chinese President Xi Jinping called for global cooperation in scientific and technological innovation at the Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing on Friday.

 

Addressing the forum’s opening ceremony via video link, Xi said countries in the world should ramp up sci-tech opening-up and cooperation, and explore approaches and means to tackle pivotal global issues through concerted efforts in sci-tech innovation.

"It is more imperative than ever for all countries to ramp up sci-tech opening-up and cooperation, and explore approaches and means to tackle pivotal global issues through concerted efforts in sci-tech innovation. All countries should stand in solidarity to confront the common challenges of the times and jointly push forward the lofty cause of human peace and development," he said.

"China attaches great importance to sci-tech innovation and has been committed to global cooperation in this regard. Looking ahead, we will strengthen international sci-tech exchanges with a more open attitude, actively engage in the global innovation network, and join hands with other countries to promote basic research. We will promote the commercialization of research results, cultivate new impetus for economic development, enhance the protection of intellectual property rights, create a first-class innovation ecosystem, and foster the concept of ‘science and technology for good’ so as to serve the ultimate purposes of improving global sci-tech governance and bettering the wellbeing of mankind," said Xi.

"Zhongguancun is China’s first national pilot zone for independent innovation. The Zhongguancun Forum is a national-level platform for international sci-tech exchanges and cooperation. China supports Zhongguancun to start a new round of reforms, accelerate the building of a world-class sci-tech park, and make new contributions to global sci-tech innovation and cooperation. I hope the forum participants will have in-depth exchanges and pool wisdoms to offer insights on how to advance global sci-tech innovation and cooperation and how to build a community of shared future for mankind," said Xi.

This year’s forum is scheduled to be held from Sept 24 to 28. Themed "intelligence, health and carbon neutrality", it aims to demonstrate China’s resolve in promoting development through science and technology, building ecological civilization and enhancing international cooperation in climate change.

The Shark® AI Robot Self-Empty combines the latest innovations, including AI Laser Navigation™, UltraClean Mode™, and a HEPA 60-day capacity base to collect and trap dust and allergens. Available now on SharkClean.com for $599.99.

Next Generation Intelligence and AI Laser Navigation

Based on the laser navigation technology and similar AI algorithms found in self-driving cars, it allows the robot to detect and avoid objects as it cleans. Unlike traditional camera-based vSLAM technologies in other robots that point up at the ceiling, the Shark® AI Robot Self-Empty XL uses 360-degree LIDAR laser-based technology, scanning at floor level to clean and adapt its pathway with precision. Next-gen technology also allows it to efficiently clean row-by-row, target areas for deep cleans and customization, and it can do it all anytime – day or night.

Customized Cleaning control, at your fingertips

Using the newly redesigned SharkClean® app, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant, consumers can schedule whole-home cleans or target specific areas like rooms, high-traffic zones or spots for immediate cleaning. The robot intelligently travels to a precise spot on-demand, and with increased suction power, cleans in multiple directions for a deeper clean. Users can select UltraClean Mode™ to enable the robot to intelligently travel to targeted areas and with increased suction power, it cleans in multiple directions for a more thorough deep-clean. UltraClean Mode™ offers increased performance such as 50% more pet hair pick-up1 with no hair wrap and 30% better carpet cleaning2.

"Precision cleaning, intelligence and convenience come together in our most premium robot vacuum to date," said Tim Moore, Shark’s Executive Vice President, Shark Engineering. "The AI Laser Navigation™ mapping technology is so accurate that the robot can sweep at night and in the dark, so we can wake up to clean floors. It’s like the Shark® AI Robot Self-Empty XL makes cleaning in your sleep possible."

With up to 2-hours of runtime and more suction versus the iRobot Roomba i7+, the Shark® AI Robot Self-Empty XL picks up hair and large debris with no hair wrap using Shark’s Self-cleaning Brushroll. As Shark’s best edge and corner cleaning robot, users can customize the robot’s power levels and clean closer to hard-to-reach areas.

After its mapped route is complete, the robot vacuum automatically returns to its base, charges, and empties its dustbin into a bagless, self-emptying base that holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris. The base uses its HEPA filtration to capture and trap 99.97%3. of dust and allergens to ensure that it stays out of your home’s environment.

Pricing and Availability

Shark® AI Robot Self-Empty XL is available for $599.99 on SharkClean.com, and other major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, and more starting Monday, September 20.

Razer Launches the Kaira X Gaming Headphones for Console Gaming

Leave a comment

Console gaming is undoubtedly the most popular form of gaming in the video games industry. To be fair, console gaming has made AAA video games experience a lot more accessible to the masses. At prices below MYR 3,000, you are getting a highly advanced hardware that could play you the most graphically demanding titles at up to 4K and at up to 120fps at that. For a PC to do that, you might want to spend way north MYR 5,000 at this point.

Razer, being the one most recognized gaming peripherals brand in the world cannot call themselves a gaming brand if they do not cover or cater to a large majority of the gaming industry that is the console gaming crowd. Of course, the three-headed snake company makes peripherals specific to the PlayStation and Xbox. You have specific tournament and high-end controllers from Razer. Now, Razer also makes gaming headphones specifically for the latest next-generation gaming consoles.

Welcome to the Razer Kaira X, the essential gaming headphone for both the Xbox and PlayStation platform. As per the naming scheme of the peripherals, the Razer Kaira X is a budget version of the Razer Kaira. That does not mean that it is less featured and less powerful than the Kaira though.

The Razer Kaira X is still a powerful headphone with 50mm TriForce drivers delivering high-power audio directly into your ears. The new TriForce drivers are supposed to deliver improved frequency separation delivering crisp highs, clear mids, and deep bass. For in-game chats, there is the boom-mounted Razer HyperClear Cardioid Microphone that has a specific pick-up pattern to exclude unwanted background noise.

At the same time, the Kaira X features on-headset controls for quick adjustments on-the-fly. The Flowknit Memory Foam cushions on the earcups and headband are made for ultimate comfort and should keep you going in long gaming sessions. Instead of the Kaira’s wireless nature, the Kaira X features a 3.5mm connection. That also means that it is compatible not only with the PlayStation and Xbox, but your PC as well.

The Kaira X for Xbox and Kaira X for PlayStation is now available in Malaysia. You can get your hands on one via authorised dealers across the country or from Razer.com. The Kaira X is available in classic black and white, Shock Blue, Pulse Red, and Electric Volt colour options. The new headphones for the next-generation consoles retails at MYR 299.90.

"It is an honor to have an equally passionate company like moomoo sponsor and support this event. Attendees can look forward to inspiring keynotes on topics ranging from portfolio construction to fundamentals based research to mastering technical investing and finding breakout winners. Themes will be even more diverse at the Sunday roundtable event which will include nearly twenty tables that are each home to a different discussion topic."

Moomoo and Jonah have partnered several times on past initiatives aimed at helping educate investors on the tools and features the moomoo app offers. Jonah is a proponent of moomoo’s parent company’s stock, Futu Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ listed FUTU). Moomoo has also previously partnered with Benzinga, a leading financial news and media website, that will be serving as FinTwit’s sole media sponsor.

"We’re thrilled to help bring together some of the biggest forces in the U.S. investing world at this event," said Mr. Leaf Li, Futu’s Founder, Chairman, CEO & Chairman of the Technology Committee. "The networking and educational opportunties for investors at all levels will be unmatched."
