    South China Sea Forum

    It is US seeing Chinese deployment in SCS as a threat to USA,. If USA doesn't see as a threat, then just let China do at our will on SCS and peace arrives for China and USA. China has no interest in US deployment in Hawaii, or even Philippines. We are only interested in US deployment in SCS.

    Japan’s vision for the East Asian security order

    You also need to explore a joint strategic partnership with Russia and United States. A fully pro-China or fully pro-USA Japan is not helpful. If Japan can establish constructive partnership with all of three China/Russia/USA, this will help North East Asia peace and give Japan more political...

    Japan’s vision for the East Asian security order

    After WWII, East Asia is always dominated by the triangular relations among China, USA and Soviet/Russia. While USA dominates Seas and China/Soviet/Russia dominates lands. The rise of China will weaken USA sea power by consolidating SCS and unifying Taiwan. Sooner or Later, USA will reduce its...

    Self-Fulfilled Prophecy? China deploys fighter jets to disputed South China Sea Island

    Thanks for the pivotal to Asia policy. This gave China solid reasons to establish military base chains in South China Sea. US foreign policy has become more and more short sighted. Strategically US is over extended while China is expanding. The reckless US expansion policy just brought about...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    The main problem is that China is banned by the West to get the latest semiconductor equipment while Taiwan, Korea and Japan have no such a problem. China's main semiconductor equipment manufacturer AMEC(中微半导体) was only founded in 2006. Its equipment are two generations behind the West. This is...

    Huawei just made the tablet I’ve been waiting for Apple to build

    Yes. Tablet is awkward to be sandwiched between Phablet and 2 in 1 Laptop. Windows laptop and Android Phablet will be dominant. Apple will face the same fate as it was in 1980s, especially with Steve Jobs gone. Too greedy for short term profits.

    China group to buy Chicago Stock Exchange

    Most of these deals should get approved by National Development and Reform Commission (发改委). This is different from Japan. I think that China wants to improve the domestic stock exchange through this deal. Try to get first hand experience how USA runs stock exchanges. China is well behind USA in...

    Huawei just made the tablet I’ve been waiting for Apple to build

    $100-$200 cheaper. But Surface Pro is a well established brand. Huawei should sell it at $499 and then it would be a good deal. Laptop 2 in 1 such as Surface Pro kills both tablets and regular laptops. Glad that Huawei is coming to this business. It will help undercut prices for Surface Pro and...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Tianhe-2 has 16,000 computer nodes, each comprising two Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon processors and three Xeon Phicoprocessor chips. It is also based on Intel cores. Tianhe-2 just means that China has the leading technology in connecting and managing these nodes. To stop Chinese supercomputer...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yes. This is how supercomputers run. Supercomputers have core and memory management. For tasks requiring low resources, other cores and memories just rest with low power consumption. But Both have. Tianhe-2 may just have more cores and memories than IBM. Technically if Tianhe-2 reduces the...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    I think that you do not understand the difference between single core computer and multi-core computers. All supercomputers have thousands of CPU cores. Core and memory management is very critical. For a task with low CPU usage, only limited number of core and memory are involved while other...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    For multi-core computers, you can manage CPU cores and memories and use them independently for independent tasks. It behaves like many independent supercomputers working in parallel for independent tasks. This may not fully utilize the speed of the supercomputer, but it improves cost management.

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    I think that you are a joke while you call other people lower IQ. 1. Your standard deviation model should also apply to IBM machine too if it works.. 2. Normally supercomputers run multi-tasks at the same time. So your model doesn't work. usually if your tasks run at low CPU, you may choose a...

    Democracy in Asia-Pacific

    Western democracy has an intrinsic problem. The voting system does not encourage self improvement. This can be a big problem when the flow of social ladder stops. People in the lower ladder will give up education or endeavors since everyone only has one vote. This is a big problem in the West...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Computer calculations and simulations have become very important in reducing development cycles. That's why all countries including China and USA are pushing for faster supercomputers, even with lower energy efficiency and higher cost. For example in designing stealth fighters, computer...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    For most projects from infrastructures to smartphone manufacturing, the development cycle is at least cut to half for China compared to USA. That's why companies like Apple like to design in USA but manufacture in China But for each client, the development cycle is still reduced greatly. This...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Tianhe-2 : 24 MW for 33.86 Pflops IBM: 3.9 MW for 8.59 Pflops If you scale IBM machine to 33.86 Pflops, it could consume to 16 MW. IBM machine is only 50% energy efficient. Tianhe-2 sacrifices 50% energy efficiency for 4 times boost on speed. It is a great achievement since it can save much time...

    Sometimes $3.3 trillion just isn't enough

    All of these are simply media hype, or pump and dump scheme widely used by Wall Street. US need to prove that Dollar is stable even with high debts. However, US economy cannot support interest rate increase. Therefore US has to rely on military and media to boost the dollar. With China as a...

    Chinese defector reveals Beijing's secrets

    Not a big deal. For nuclear system, the technology has improved significantly during last two decades. This incident will force China to reshuffle the nuclear system. US need to do the same. As reported, even floppy disks are widely used in US system. For details about Chinese leaderships, time...
