Forum on China–Africa Cooperation

Description
The Forum on China–Africa Cooperation – FOCAC – is an official forum between the People’s Republic of China and all African states except for the Kingdom of Eswatini.

Next date: Tue, Sep 3, 2024 – Sun, Sep 8, 2024

FOCAC is a multilateral forum established to promote dialogue and practical cooperation between China and African countries.

China has invested heavily in infrastructure projects in Africa, such as railways, roads, and ports and it has become a major trading partner and investor for many African countries.

China is expected to announce new investments in infrastructure projects in Africa, such as railways, roads, and ports it has also provided loans financing some of these infrastructural projects. The summit will likely address the importance of the digital economy and the need for Africa to develop its digital infrastructure as complementary to the physical one.

For some infrastructural works, China has provided debt relief to several African countries, during this China-Africa meeting, the Chinese government may announce new measures to provide debt relief to African countries which can elevate the burden of servicing the debt and limit the capacity of African States to expand their international trade operations. For this reason, China aims to increase trade with African countries. This China-Africa summit will be the appropriate frame for discussion to increase trade and investment and discuss ways to promote green development and climate change mitigation in Africa.

Overall, the FOCAC Summit is expected to be a major milestone in the relationship between China and Africa. It will allow both sides to strengthen their cooperation, discuss ways to promote people-to-people exchanges between China and Africa and address the continent’s challenges.

The Beijing Summit and Ninth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was held in Beijing from September 4 to 6, 2024. The Heads of State, Government, and delegation of China and 53 African countries, and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (…) and their ministers of foreign affairs and economic cooperation attended the summit and ministerial conference respectively.

1.2 The two sides speak highly of FOCAC’s achievements over the past 24 years. It has kept pace with the prevailing trend of peace, development, and win-win cooperation, overcome challenges posed by the changing and turbulent international environment, sluggish global economic recovery, and the COVID pandemic, and promoted the comprehensive and in-depth development of friendship and cooperation between China and Africa. It has become an efficient platform for South-South cooperation and a shining example of catalyzing international cooperation with Africa.

President Xi delivered a speech on Thursday, September 4, 2024, at an international conference called the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation that opened in the Chinese capital Beijing on the previous day.

Leaders from 53 African nations are taking part in the China-Africa summit.

• President Xi proposed in the address that bilateral relations between China and all African countries having diplomatic ties with China should be elevated to a more strategic level.
• President Xi also said the Chinese government will make financial contributions to African nations worth 360 billion yuan, or about 50 billion dollars, over the next three years.

This assistance program covers areas from infrastructure, and agriculture, to trade and includes the military such as joint exercises.

• President Xi said that the Western approach to modernization has “inflicted immense sufferings on developing countries”.
• President Xi added that “China and Africa’s joint pursuit of modernization will set off a wave of modernization in the Global South”.

Africa-China

All 53 African States fully supported the three (3) global initiatives announced by China, which are the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI).

In his keynote address, H.E. President Xi Jinping announced, for the next three years, ten (10) partnership actions for modernization, to deepen China-Africa cooperation and spearhead the Global South modernization. Those actions are for

1) Mutual Learning among Civilizations,

2) Trade Prosperity,

3) Industrial Chain Cooperation,

4) Connectivity,

5) Development Cooperation,

6) Health,

7) Agriculture and Livelihoods,

8) People-to-People Exchanges,

9) Green Development and

10) Common Security.

To implement these ten partnership actions, the Chinese government will provide around 50 billion USD of financial support, including 29 billion USD of credit line, 11 billion USD of assistance in various forms and 10 billion USD of investment in Africa by Chinese companies.

Reaching Another Level in Sino-African Trade Relations

“China’s cooperation with Africa is targeted at the major bottlenecks to development,”

“Resources for our cooperation are not to be spent on any vanity projects, but in places where they count the most.”

China’s President Xi pledges another $60 billion for Africa

President Xi said, in a possible preview of his speech to the summit. Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Africa the week of 7/20/2018 as Beijing moved to further cement its role as one of the continent’s closest economic and diplomatic allies.

On Monday, September 3, 2018, Xi outlined eight major initiatives in Africa over the next three years, including plans to establish a China-Africa trade expo, provide one billion renminbi ($146 million) in food aid, extra imports to China from Africa, and a push for green development.

Xi also invited African business leaders to help his country in building the Belt and Road Initiative, an ambitious collection of trade and infrastructure projects involving 68 countries. Leaders of 53 African nations descended on the Chinese capital Monday for the start of the two-day summit, largely seeking financial support for their developing economies.  

The announcement was made during the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing, a triennial meeting between senior Chinese leaders and their counterparts from across Africa.   The financial package is the same amount Beijing pledged at the previous FOCAC summit in 2015, and is in line with analysts’ expectations that Xi would not vastly increase the amount of Chinese money flowing into Africa.   Africa has borrowed about $130 billion from China since 2000, with loans generally used to finance infrastructure projects. 

A report published this month by the Johns Hopkins SAIS China-Africa Research Initiative found that Chinese loans are “not currently a major contributor to debt distress in Africa.”

“We’re emerging into a new phase of a China-centric world order,” says Solange Chatelard, academic and research associate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. “The former hegemonic powers are having a hard time adjusting to their decline.”

Lina Benebdallah, assistant professor of politics and international affairs at Wake Forest University, North Carolina, however, cautions that the China-Africa relationship is “asymmetric.” In 2016, for example, China exported $88 billion in goods to Africa, but only imported $40 billion from the continent.

---

---

Earlier this year, the IMF warned that the African continent is facing a debt crisis, with 40% of low-income countries now in debt distress or at high risk of this.  The pledge in 2015 was three times the figure announced at the 2012 forum.  Over the past nearly two decades, the numbers coming out of FOCAC have generally risen with each event.   Scholars from the China-Africa Research Initiative (CARI) at Johns Hopkins University found that Chinese loans were not yet a major contributor to this debt distress for most nations. Zimbabwe, for example, still owes 77% of its national debt to the Paris Club. In Djibouti, however, China holds 77% of the national debt, while Zambia’s $6.4 billion in Chinese loans represents the lion’s share of its commitments.

The levels of debt owed by African and South Asian nations to China have raised concerns in the West and among citizens – but roads and railways have been built that would not exist otherwise:

It has already funded trains, roads, and ports, with Chinese construction firms given lucrative contracts to connect ports and cities – funded by loans from Chinese banks.

China’s annual foreign direct investment outflows declined in 2017 for the first time on record, according to a government report released Friday. Beijing would like to stem capital flight, while the Trump administration is citing national security reasons for slowing or preventing Chinese acquisitions of U.S. companies. The drop came as leaders of the world’s two largest economies increased scrutiny on cross-border deals, following a surge of Chinese investments in the U.S. — which included the high-profile purchase of New York’s landmark Waldorf Astoria hotel by Chinese insurer Anbang in 2015.

In 2015, China’s annual outward direct investment dropped 19.3 percent to $158.29 billion, from $196.15 billion in 2016, according to government statistics. That marked the first decline recorded in data going back to 2002, according to the report from China’s Ministry of Commerce, National Bureau of Statistics and State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Figures from 2002 to 2005 include only non-financial outward foreign direct investment, while numbers from 2006 onward include all industries.

Chinese investments in the U.S. was $6.43 billion in 2017 — down 62.1 percent from a year ago, the report showed. In contrast, flows to Europe rose to a record $18.46 billion in 2017, or 72.7 percent higher than a year ago, the report said.

China Direct Investment in Africa and Decline in Global Chinese Investment

9/29/2018 

---

China’s annual foreign direct investment outflows dropped for the first time ever in 2017, per a government report. The decline comes after a “surge” of Chinese investments in the U.S., including the purchase of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 2015, per CNBC. Cross-border deals between both countries have been under more scrutiny; Beijing’s intensified scrutiny of outbound flows wants “to stem capital flight,”  and the Trump administration says “national security [is] slowing or preventing Chinese acquisitions of U.S. companies,” which include tougher US regulatory reviews of inbound Chinese acquisitions through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the primary government body responsible for reviewing foreign acquisitions of US companies for national security risks.

On June 27, the White House released a statement from President Trump announcing his support for bipartisan legislation currently under consideration in Congress to broaden CFIUS’s authority.

“This legislation, the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA), will enhance our ability to protect the United States from new and evolving threats posed by foreign investment while also sustaining the strong, open investment environment to which our country is committed,” said President Donald Trump in a statement. Both chambers of Congress recently passed different versions of FIRRMA, which means the House and the Senate will need to reconcile their bills before President Trump can sign the legislation into law. Both versions would broaden the scope of investments subject to CFIUS review to include nonpassive investments in “critical technology” or “critical infrastructure” companies. “Should Congress fail to pass strong FIRMMA legislation that better protects the crown jewels of American technology and intellectual property from transfers and acquisitions that threaten our national security—and future economic prosperity—I will direct my administration to deploy new tools, developed under existing authorities, that will do so globally,” Trump said.

The 2016 boom in Chinese FDI was driven by just four Chinese firms seeking to diversify their holdings. As Beijing moves to reduce the leverage of its heavily indebted private conglomerates, many Chinese companies are now being pushed to sell their overseas assets to pay off loans. As a result, Chinese companies are divesting their assets in the United States at an unparalleled pace: in the first five months of 2018, Chinese investors sold $9.6 billion worth of US assets, with another $4 billion of sales pending, making net FDI inflows to the United States negative by some $7.8 billion.   Another report, released in June by the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development, found that growth in FDI around the globe is on the decline. Global FDI flows fell by 23 percent in 2017, to $1.43 trillion from $1.87 trillion a year earlier. Flows to developed economies dropped by one-third, while investment into the United States fell by 40 percent, to $275 billion from $457 billion in 2016.

September 2018 China’s Energy Needs

China’s economy, which had averaged an annual growth rate of 10 percent for three decades until 2010, requires substantial levels of energy to sustain its momentum. It has become the world’s largest energy consumer and producer [PDF] in the world. Though China relies on coal for much of its energy needs, its oil consumption is second worldwide. Once the largest oil exporter in Asia, China became a net importer in 1993 and has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest importer of oil in recent years. The International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2014 [PDF] projected that China will become the world’s largest consumer of oil by the early 2030s.

China’s second-largest source of crude imports after the Middle East is Africa, from which it receives 1.4 million barrels per day, or 22 percent [PDF]. Angola was China’s third-largest oil supplier in 2016. Other African oil suppliers include the Republic of Congo and South Sudan.

Economic ties between China and the African continent have deepened as China’s economy has thrived. China surpassed the United States as Africa’s largest trade partner in 2009. China is a destination for 15 to 16 percent of sub-Saharan Africa’s exports and the source of 14 to 21 percent of the region’s imports, according to estimates from Thomson Reuters and the World Bank. While the majority of Africa’s exports to China are comprised of mineral fuels, lubricants, and related materials, it also exports iron ore, metals, and other commodities, as well as small amounts of food and agricultural products. China exports a range of machinery, transportation, and communications equipment, as well as manufactured goods to African countries.

China is a significant source of foreign direct investment in Africa; offers development loans to resource-rich nations, like Angola; invests in agriculture; and develops special trade and economic cooperation zones in several states, including Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Zambia. “Chinese banks and companies are offering finance that allows them to secure a greater share of the business deals [PDF] in Africa as part of their move to ‘go global.’ This brings with it risks for African borrowers—but also opportunities,” write Brautigam and Jyhjong Hwang of SAIS-CARI.

Diversification of China’s Interests in Africa

Chinese financing comes often in the form of loans and credits provided by the People’s Bank of China, the China Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank of China, and the China-Africa Development Fund. Between 2000 and 2014, Chinese banks, contractors, and the government loaned more than $86 billion to Africa, according to SAIS-CARI. Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan were the top recipients. However, these large loans are beginning to raise questions about debt loads in African countries, showing indications of a potential debt crisis.

Beijing has steadily diversified its business interests in Africa. China has participated in energy, mining, and telecommunications industries and financed the construction of roads, railways, ports, airports, hospitals, schools, and stadiums. Investment from a mixture of state and private funds has also set up tobacco, rubber, sugar, and sisal plantations. Domestic economic conditions drove Chinese firms to break into new markets for its consumer goods and excess industrial capacity as part of China’s “going out” or “going global” strategy. Chinese investment in Africa also fits into Chinese President Xi Jinping’s development framework, “One Belt, One Road,” which joins a continental economic belt and a maritime road to promote cooperation and interconnectivity from Eurasia to Africa.

The question is why is China spending huge amount of money for projects in Africa?

What diplomatic benefits accrued to Africans by this gesture?

Africa: A Reflection of China?

04/07/2013

When the then recently built African Union (AU) headquarters was unveiled in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, earlier this year, the $200 million structure now the capital city’s tallest building caused a splash. But it wasn’t just the mammoth building’s impressive spec sheet that drew comment, it was also the project’s bankroller; China. It is believed that China spent over 200 Million Dollars for the construction of this edifice.

The Chinese government has been leading a construction boom across Africa, setting up huge dams and infrastructure projects, soccer stadiums, and even the world’s third-largest mosque in Algeria. And the lavish new AU headquarters was paid for in its entirety by the Chinese government.

The Long Road to Reform AU, Beyond Reach

When African leaders established the African Union Institutional Reform Program in 2016 and charged the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, with leading the reform efforts, there were great expectations that the continental body, which has been taking on more than it can handle, would be somewhat reformed. However, as time passes, the arduous goal is … Continue reading

The towering edifice houses three conference centers, its helipad, and enough office space to accommodate 700 workers. The 20-story high complex, designed by the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tongji University, also features an impressive entrance.

However, it is widely believed that Chinese companies refuse to hire Africans and bring in all their own workers to execute their projects.

Algeria Tall Minaret Built with China Prayers

In February, the government of Algeria signed a contract with the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) to build what will be the third-largest mosque in the world and the largest outside Saudi Arabia. The facility which will be stretched across a 49-acre compound, boasts a 900-foot-tall minaret and has room for 120,000 worshippers. This is a means for the Algerian President to leave his mark on the history of Algeria.

Ghana and the Water Dam Engineered by China

Ghana also gave out a project for the construction of the dam by China’s Sinohydro in 2009 which is due to be completed next year. As many as 2,600 people are being relocated for the 300-foot dam, which will flood a significant portion of the Bui National Park, home to two populations of black hippos as well as rare species of monkeys, lions, and leopards. The project will join Sudan’s Merowe dam, whose 174 square kilometer reservoir forced the relocation of 50,000 people, and Ethiopia’s Tekeze Dam, which at over 600 feet is the continent’s tallest, among China’s most ambitious hydroelectric projects in Africa.

Equatorial Guinea and China’s Prowess in Construction

The congress center in Equatorial Guinea, built by CSCEC, was originally commissioned for the purpose of hosting the 2011 African Union Heads of State Summit. The glass-encased avant-garde structure was designed by a Turkish architecture firm and built to filter in external light without overheating, while still providing stunning views of the Malabo oceanfront. The convention center which has been shortlisted for international architecture prizes is part of a new “city” of mansions and construction centers built near Malabo by the notoriously kleptocratic Obiang regime. It’s just one of many Chinese-built projects that recently went up in the capital of the oil-rich but impoverished West African country, including a 15,000-seat stadium built for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

Angola Housing Built in China

Even though half of Angola’s population lives on less than $2 a day, a thriving oil sector and a housing shortage have made the capital city of Luanda one of the most expensive places to live in the world. So it is not surprising that the budding petrostate’s government is thinking big in terms of new housing projects. Some 20 miles south of Luanda, Chinese contractors are at work on a new city known, for now, as Kilamba Kiaxi, the first phase of which is due for completion in December 2012, which will provide housing for 120,000 people in 710 apartment buildings, as well as schools, shops, and parks. Incredibly, Kilamba Kiaxi is just the largest of seven new cities the government plans to build throughout the country.

---

Kilamba Kiaxi is a new underpopulated city outside Luanda, Angola built by Chinese construction company CITIC and financed by Hong Kong-based China International Fund.  “Even in China, I didn’t see such a big, large-scale project,” said Wu Zhixin, chief engineer for CITIC, the contractor on Kilamba Kiaxi. “In China, 500,000 square meters would be a big project. This one is 3.3 million square meters.”

Kenya Road and Infrastructure with China Know-How

In Kenya, the 31-mile-long road being built by three Chinese firms connecting the capital city of Nairobi to the central Kenyan hub of Thika will be the largest road in East Africa in some places, 16 lanes wide. Apartment buildings are already springing up along the road, which it is hoped will help cut back on the notorious Nairobi traffic and help link the Kenyan economy with Ethiopia to the north. Unlike other countries, where China has launched major road-building projects the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria, for instance, Kenya is not resource-rich. But projects like this one may help Chinese businesses set up an early foothold in one of the continent’s main economic centers. Chinese exports to Kenya are already over $800 million per year.

Nigeria and China Tech and Telecom

In Nigeria communications satellite NigComSat 1 was successfully launched in 2007 in China but de-orbited in November 2008 due to malfunction of the solar array deployment assembly. China decided in 2009 to build NigComSat 1-R to replace the defunct one without adding additional costs to Nigeria.

NigComSat-1R, covering Central, Western, and Southern Africa, Central and Eastern parts of Europe, and some areas of Mid-Asia, will be mainly used for communications, broadcasting, tele-education, broadband multimedia service, and navigation service.

Growth and Change in Africa

China Econometer – The Econometer – VOL. 3 November 2011

According to the latest projections from the African Development Bank (ADB), Africa’s middle class will triple to more than 1 billion people in the next half-century as it predicts gross domestic product growth in the continent will exceed 5 percent a year over the same period.

In recent years, Africa has been a somewhat overlooked source of stable growth amidst global economic turmoil which has brought growth in developed markets to a standstill. China’s increased engagement with the continent is well documented, with trade between China and Africa exceeding $110 billion in 2010, a tenfold increase over the past decade.

To accommodate the needs of Africa’s growing middle-class ranks, China will continue on the current path, with a few minor changes.

According to the ADB, Chinese investment in African infrastructure has remained stable at about $5 billion a year. However, much of that is a result of direct engagement with national governments.   China must engage with regional bodies, with investment projects that transcend national boundaries, so that the impact can be greater. Investing in regional projects will require China to work closer with African regional groupings such as the East African Community, the Southern African Development Community, and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.

With pressing infrastructural demands in landlocked African countries that need access to the nearest seaports, including Uganda, South Sudan, Zambia, and Malawi, establishing regional transport infrastructures will also significantly reduce the costs of Sino-African trade and improve Chinese exporters’ accessibility to Africa’s growing consumer markets.

Currently, global manufacturers looking to shift production to lower-cost countries complain that African transport prices are too high. Chinese manufacturers to establish manufacturing faculties in Africa itself, to directly serve the African market. Developing industry in Africa will help diversify its economy, commercialize its agricultural sector, and become less dependent on the price of commodities. By 2060, China is projected to receive 60 percent of African exports, up from 5 percent today.

To realize this projection, Africa’s leaders will need to complement Chinese regional engagement by realizing a common vision and moving beyond free-trade agreements to real integration of licensing, border control visas, etc., to better engage with the Chinese government, EPC contractors, and other Chinese entities. Rather than having a few select countries become relevant on the world stage, greater coordination between leaders and regions will help ensure Africa will become a global force. Only then can Africa and China fully take advantage of the opportunities presented in this new era of Sino-African relations?

For your perusal though here is Morocco presented as more sovereign than this poor and unrealistic Map of Africa, this is a Colonial Time and Divisive showing of Morocco, Africans should strive to be in an independent mindset and not retrieve and be the copy of the colonial past.

Africans can make a difference in their daily life by seeking the Unity and Progress of their peers and identifications and not pulling behind their backs references, symbols, and idols of dominant ideological past colonial times and dark age of exploitation through the division of tribes, regions, and even spiritual beliefs.

We need people who consider the Motherland of Africa as the cradle of our Renaissance and our Growth in self-respect, self-esteem, and self-gratification through sharing common beliefs in owning our proper Memories and our awareness and not being taught about divisive propaganda and manipulative thoughts.

We need to build our educational environment based on our deep and authentic history without praise or self-gratifying drives

We need to be authentic with our Past, Present, and Vision for shedding light on the Generations to come to be the new enthusiasm of the bright African minds and African Creators of their Own Freedom and Independence.

Afrique Destinée: La Zambie, Mauvais Pari Financier Oriental et Bonne Mine pour l’Occident [apres ce texte en Anglais]

Présentation:

Dans cet article, nous soulignerons les raisons du revers subi par la restructuration et le rééchelonnement de la dette extérieure de la Zambie et comment, même avec la tournure des événements et des alliances, d’autres projets tels que le projet de corridor de Liboto peuvent devenir une arme à double tranchant avec 2 côtés tranchants. et même se transformer en épée de Damoclès posée au sommet de la tête de Zambie.

L’École africaine de développement et de financement devrait utiliser le cas de la Zambie pour enseigner à nos dirigeants et à nos dirigeants comment éviter d’être attirés, attirés et finalement punis par ceux qui, depuis le début, ont cherché et voulu contrôler et faire obéir l’économie zambienne à leurs principes et concepts. de développement néolibéral importés de l’extérieur alors qu’ils finiront par exporter vers eux et à leur profit tous les atouts miniers internes et les valeurs locales.

La Zambie est une étude typique et un manuel ouvert sur la manière de tomber dans le filet de la modernisation et en même temps d’éviter de tomber dans le piège de la dette extérieure, encadrée et camouflée dans une stratégie néolibérale de mise à niveau des infrastructures à travers l’adoption des outils de financement de et fourni par les politiques de développement contrôlées par l’État occidental et leur armée de dirigeants d’entreprises qui ont transformé la Zambie en une monnaie d’échange dans la compétition internationale entre l’Ouest et l’Est.

La position de la Zambie dans le système financier international et sur le marché international des matières premières est typique de nombreux pays africains où la dette extérieure est un piège dans lequel ils tombent sans savoir où se trouve le fond et quel effet boule de neige pourrait plus tard faire en sorte que cette dette ne produise aucun rendement ou ajout. valeur pour les caisses de l’État. Un tel manque de revenus et une telle concrétisation des projets dans les délais et dans un bon rapport coût-efficacité ont rendu la situation financière de nombreux pays africains vulnérable à toutes sortes de manipulations et à l’acceptation d’un contrôle et de conditionnalités supplémentaires de la part des créanciers internationaux et de leurs liens dans d’autres secteurs économiques et commerciaux. et les entreprises.

Cet article met en lumière les efforts déployés par la Zambie pour échapper au piège de la dette qui est devenu un « Typhon », étouffant lentement tout mouvement du pays vers l’acquisition d’une infrastructure qui aidera l’économie à sortir de ses conditions d’existence enclavées et de la caractéristique d’enclave de l’économie. est encore visible. Depuis l’établissement de la domination coloniale, l’économie zambienne est largement centrée sur l’extraction de minéraux, en particulier de cuivre, de cobalt et de sous-produits associés. Les organisations financières internationales telles que la Banque Mondiale, le FMI, la Société Financière Internationale et la Banque Centrale Européenne encouragent le développement du secteur privé et l’attraction des investissements directs étrangers notamment en construisant des infrastructures logistiques adéquates et modernes qui ouvrent des horizons à travers d’autres pays pour atteindre des espaces plus éloignés et répondre à des demandes lointaines pour les biens produits localement.

Malheureusement, cela ressemble à une éruption effervescente trop optimiste et à une distribution de chiffres élevés comme taux de croissance pour les économies africaines qui ont été orchestrées par la Banque mondiale, le FMI, la SFI et la Banque centrale européenne et leurs filiales et courtisanes telles que Think Tank. , Centres de Recherche, sociétés d’investissement et financiers qui ont dressé en 2010 un tableau très rose de l’Afrique.

Leur fausse interprétation du développement idyllique de l’Afrique a directement contribué aux difficultés et aux distorsions univoques de la santé et des conditions économiques des pays africains. Ces intrigues sophistiquées ont abouti à l’endettement élevé de nombreux pays africains qui sont en fait au point de faire défaut ou de recevoir des fonds supplémentaires pour remédier à leur plongée dans de nouveaux problèmes financiers, déséquilibres économiques et troubles sociaux. De nombreux coups d’État en Afrique sont le résultat d’une telle combinaison de facteurs financiers et de spoliation économique provenant tous d’un impact extérieur.

En effet, une étude de la Banque mondiale publiée en novembre 2010 suggère que la moitié des 5 pour cent de croissance dont l’Afrique a bénéficié entre 2003 et 2008 était due à l’amélioration des infrastructures, principalement des télécommunications. Dans le même temps, le Fonds monétaire international estime que la croissance en Afrique subsaharienne sera supérieure d’un point de pourcentage à la moyenne mondiale et place huit pays africains parmi les 20 économies les plus dynamiques en 2010. L’Angola et la République du Congo, riches en pétrole, sont en tête avec des taux de croissance de plus de 9 et 12 pour cent respectivement, tous deux battant la Chine, selon les projections les plus récentes du FMI [ Source : Rapport spécial Davos : L’Afrique en hausse ].

Ces financiers de niveau mondial lançaient à gauche et à droite des chiffres trop optimistes sur le taux de croissance de ces pays qui les avaient présentés comme le nouvel eldorado du flux et du recyclage des dollars en prêts sans même considérer l’existence du paiement du service. Les pays africains endettés sont devenus faciles à pénétrer par des intérêts étrangers et des biens étrangers. Dans le même temps, les pays africains, au lieu d’investir dans leurs exportations, ont également été obligés de diversifier leur externalisation des capitaux et d’en utiliser une partie pour payer le service de la dette et financer leur propre sécurité et solvabilité.

Aujourd’hui, nous assistons à la même approche et au même discours consistant à lancer des prévisions sans même regarder les schémas historiques de changements ou les variations saisonnières du taux de croissance, du taux d’inflation et du taux de conversion des monnaies pour les économies africaines et ceci simplement pour faire référence aux facteurs et indicateurs les plus ambivalents.

Behind these sectors, you have every aspect of industrial productivity and supply chain management that is feeding all sectors from the automotive to the apparel industry and what is between the two: every single aspect of the robotic, logistic, and other directly related computerized systems of operation and production if not organizing the flow between all these sectors.

Touching upon a critical aspect of the tech industry, particularly in the United States. The U.S. government recognizes the importance of semiconductor supply chains. The CHIPS for America investments aim to strengthen these chains and enhance resilience.

The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain, emphasizing the need for strategic investments. The Biden administration contemplates a Huawei-caliber ban on China’s access to technology that fuels its supercomputing, data center, and AI industrialization. The sweeping export ban will include all global companies that procure US technology, software, or equipment in their semiconductors.

Tech War – US-China Proxy Tech Conflict

More US semiconductor restrictions loom for China. The United States government is expected to impose more semiconductor restrictions on China, after banning Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) from selling advanced chips used for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing work to the world’s second-largest economy.

More US semiconductor restrictions loom for China

The United States government is expected to impose more semiconductor restrictions on China, after banning Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) from selling advanced chips used for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing work to the world’s second-largest economy.

“We believe the next risky areas are autonomous driving chips from Nvidia, Intel-owned Mobileye, and Qualcomm,” the Jefferies report said. It indicated that chips used for self-driving vehicles could arguably be used for military applications.

“Worst of all, high-end CPUs from Intel and AMD [could follow],” the report said. It pointed out that high-end central processing units based on 7-nanometre or 5-nm semiconductor manufacturing processes “are key to a wide range of applications”, including cloud computing servers, 5G base stations, personal computers, and high-end military equipment.

“The worst-case scenario is for the US to subject all Chinese companies to the Direct Product Rule, which means no [semiconductor] foundries would be allowed to supply Chinese integrated circuit design firms, including Chinese foundries,” the report said.

“We are not there yet, and the US will likely evaluate the effectiveness of each incremental step before more drastic action is considered.”

The potential actions that the US could initiate reflect the urgency faced by China in safeguarding its hi-tech industries, especially its semiconductor sector. 

The latest chip restrictions follow US export controls on technologies for the production of advanced semiconductors and gas turbine engines announced last month by the Bureau of Industry and Security, an agency under the US Department of Commerce.

The US tech export controls escalated Washington’s efforts to boost America’s hi-tech advantage over China after US President Joe Biden signed into law the Chips and Science Act that earmarks nearly US$53 billion in incentives for semiconductor manufacturing on US soil.

In July, Washington intensified its push to form the so-called Chip 4 Alliance – a partnership that includes South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. 

Beijing considers that alliance as a plot by the US government to exclude China from global semiconductor supply chains.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government’s likely response to the Nvidia and AMD bans is to accelerate the adoption of local products as substitutes, according to Jefferies analysts. They also expected the affected companies, which include internet firms and communications service providers, to use multiple lower-end Nvidia graphics processing units, which are not banned, to somehow replicate the processing power of the now-restricted chips. Large semiconductor supply chain projects, including materials and manufacturing equipment facilities, are being funded with capital investments exceeding $300 million along with Smaller projects are also part of the plan to bolster the industry

Department of Commerce Announces Strategic Vision and Application Process for Semiconductor Supply Chain Projects, Nearly 400 Companies Interested in CHIPS Incentives

“Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce shared the Biden-Harris Administration’s strategic vision to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain through CHIPS for America investments. To advance this vision, the Department announced a funding opportunity and application process for large semiconductor supply chain projects and will release later in the fall a separate process for smaller projects. Large semiconductor supply chain projects include materials and manufacturing equipment facility projects with capital investments equal to or exceeding $300 million, and smaller projects are below that threshold.” 1.

The goal is to advance U.S. technology leadership by incentivizing major U.S. manufacturing equipment and materials suppliers by encouraging these suppliers to increase their presence within the United States. In parallel, the U.S. Government seeks also to attract non-U.S. suppliers of advanced equipment, materials, and subsystems to establish large-scale footprints here contributes to leadership. 1. This strategy of integration aims to create clusters for Each CHIPS-funded production to be backed by an ecosystem of reliable suppliers. Such clustering within the United States will also stimulate innovation, economic growth, and job creation while allowing the United States to acquire and build robust support for these fab clusters, the U.S. aims to maintain its competitive edge in the global tech landscape1.

On Monday, August 5, 2024, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo convened a roundtable discussion with investors to discuss non-market actions from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that threaten to distort the market for mature node (or “legacy”) semiconductors. Secretary Raimondo emphasized her concern that over the past few years, the U.S. has seen signs of concerning practices from the PRC to overproduce legacy chips and prevent U.S. companies, and those in like-minded countries, from competing on a level playing field. The Secretary underscored that securing the semiconductor supply chain is an economic and national security priority and reiterated the actions that the Department of Commerce—and the whole federal government—are taking. Those actions include imposing targeted tariffs on semiconductors imported from the PRC, an industrial base survey of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain, joint efforts with international partners, and restrictions on the use of PRC semiconductors in U.S. government procurement. Investors discussed how companies are thinking about oversupply and overconcentration risk, and how additional U.S. government actions could most effectively support resilient semiconductor supply chains.

The collaboration between government, industry, and research institutions is pivotal for sustained growth and technological advancement. This extends beyond semiconductors to impact various sectors, from automotive to apparel, and everything in between. 2 3.

The US currently leads in the global semiconductor industry, but China is making progress and the competition is impacting the world economy. The US dominates the value chain by 39%, while China controls 7% of the global chip market.

However, China is building more semiconductor plants than any other country and is working on domestic alternatives to advanced silicon.

It’s a strange feeling when once untouchable giants show vulnerability— like realizing your parents are human. Google’s dominance in search is under pressure. 6 years ago, it commanded nearly 60% of the U.S. search ad market, but now its hold has slipped to 50%.

Now, the usual suspects here are your AI-powered chatbots, which are—according to every breathless headline—coming to eat Google’s lunch. But the truth is that this shift has been brewing for a while.

Consumers no longer start their search journey exclusively on Google; platforms like Amazon, Instagram, and TikTok are chipping away at its dominance. Amazon’s search ad share, for example, has steadily risen and now controls over 22% of the market. Gen Z, meanwhile, is increasingly bypassing Google altogether, turning to social media for localized searches – TikTok sees billions of searches daily.

AI answer engines are the latest flashy threat, turning search into an interactive chatbot experience. But while this captures headlines, it’s largely a Ux evolution, not a revolution. Google has the scale and resources to adopt these changes quickly. The real battleground lies in search integrated into platforms that provide a kind of utility Google can’t touch: commerce and social discovery.

I’m no Google apologist but I do think the company could be quoting Mark Twain because the reports of its death seem greatly exaggerated. The intensifying competitive pressure could be a good wake-up call for a company that has let its dominance dull its hunger. The comparison to Blockbuster and Kodak is understandable but pre-mature. Google isn’t doubling down on an outdated technology that isn’t working, they know where the world is headed and they’re moving in that direction – now if they could change the culture a little by just moving faster.

Google a conclu mercredi un accord inédit aux États-Unis avec les législateurs californiens pour financer les rédactions de l’État et mettre fin à un projet de loi qui aurait forcé les géants de la technologie à payer pour le droit de distribuer du contenu d’information. Mais l’accord a immédiatement été vivement critiqué par les syndicats de journalistes, qui ont qualifié l’accord de « désastreux ».

Le plan prévoit un engagement de 250 millions de dollars sur cinq ans de la part de Google et de l’État, dont une majorité financerait les rédactions californiennes, et lancerait un « accélérateur » d’intelligence artificielle conçu pour soutenir le travail des journalistes.

Dans le cadre du partenariat proposé, Google contribuera jusqu’à 15 millions de dollars à un fonds de journalisme la première année, tandis que l’État de Californie investira 30 millions de dollars. Au cours des quatre années suivantes, la contribution de la Californie tombera à 10 millions de dollars par an, tandis que celle de Google contribuera au moins 20 millions de dollars au fonds et aux programmes de journalisme existants.

L’accord met fin à un projet de loi très médiatisé, baptisé California Journalism Preservation Act, qui aurait forcé les entreprises technologiques, dont Google (GOOGL) et Meta (META), à payer les sociétés de presse pour distribuer leur contenu en ligne. Le projet de loi, parrainé par la députée de l’État Buffy Wicks, s’inspire de lois similaires mises en œuvre en Australie et au Canada, qui fournissent des fonds aux organisations de presse locales qui ont vu leurs modèles commerciaux s’effondrer face à la montée en puissance des grandes plateformes technologiques.

« Alors que la technologie et l’innovation progressent, la Californie doit continuer à défendre le rôle vital du journalisme dans notre démocratie », a déclaré Wicks dans un communiqué annonçant l’accord avec Google. « Ce partenariat représente un engagement intersectoriel pour soutenir une presse libre et dynamique, permettant aux médias d’information locaux de tout l’État de poursuivre leur travail essentiel. Ce n’est que le début. Je reste déterminé à trouver encore plus de moyens de soutenir le journalisme dans notre État pour les années à venir. »

Le gouverneur de Californie Gavin Newsom, qui n’a pas donné son avis public sur le projet de loi, a également salué l’accord, le qualifiant de « percée pour assurer la survie des salles de presse et renforcer le journalisme local à travers la Californie – en tirant parti des ressources substantielles de l’industrie technologique sans imposer de nouvelles taxes aux Californiens ».

Les éditeurs de presse ont connu de grandes difficultés ces dernières années, supprimant des milliers d’emplois et provoquant la fermeture de certains médias, car les fonds publicitaires et les audiences se sont rapidement détournés des publications traditionnelles.

Ironiquement, l’accord annoncé mercredi a également défendu un « accélérateur national d’innovation en IA », ajoutant un financement pour le développement de l’intelligence artificielle, qui, selon certains groupes de journalistes, représente un danger pour l’avenir de leur industrie et menace d’attiser davantage la méfiance envers les reportages d’actualité.

L’accord a été soutenu par la California News Publishers Association, qui représente des centaines de médias d’information, la société mère de Google et OpenAI. Mais il a été vivement critiqué par les syndicats représentant les journalistes de l’État, qui avaient soutenu le projet de loi de Wicks visant à financer les salles de presse mais n’étaient pas impliqués dans l’accord.

« L’avenir du journalisme ne devrait pas être décidé par des accords en coulisses », ont déclaré la Media Guild of the West, la NewsGuild-CWA et d’autres dans une déclaration commune. « La législature s’est lancée dans un effort pour réglementer les monopoles et a échoué lamentablement. Nous nous demandons maintenant si l’État a fait plus de mal que de bien. Les journalistes et les professionnels de l’information de Californie S’OPPOSENT à cet accord désastreux avec Google et condamnent les dirigeants de l’information qui y ont consenti en notre nom. »

L’accord a également été critiqué par d’autres démocrates de la législature californienne, notamment le sénateur de l’État Steve Glazer, qui avait proposé son propre projet de loi visant à accorder des crédits d’impôt aux médias employant des journalistes à temps plein.

« Malgré les bonnes intentions des parties concernées, cette proposition ne fournit pas suffisamment de ressources pour sortir la collecte d’informations indépendante en Californie de sa spirale mortelle », a déclaré Glazer mercredi lors d’une conférence de presse. « L’offre de Google est inadéquate et loin d’égaler l’accord de règlement conclu au Canada en matière de soutien aux reportages d’actualité locale sur le terrain. »

Le président pro tempore du Sénat de l’État de Californie, Mike McGuire, a également critiqué l’accord : « Les salles de rédaction ont été vidées de leur substance dans tout cet État tandis que les plateformes technologiques ont enregistré des bénéfices de plusieurs milliards de dollars. Nous craignons que cette proposition ne finance pas suffisamment les salles de presse.

L’accord intervient quelques mois après que Google a décidé de bloquer le contenu des actualités en Californie en raison de la loi proposée par Wicks, déclenchant une réaction rapide des médias de l’État.

La News/Media Alliance, qui représente les journaux et les publications en ligne américains, a déclaré avoir envoyé des lettres au ministère de la Justice, à la Federal Trade Commission et au procureur général de Californie pour demander une enquête afin de déterminer si Google avait enfreint des lois en limitant l’accès aux médias.

Google avait déjà menacé de prendre des mesures similaires au Canada avant l’adoption de la nouvelle loi du pays exigeant que les plateformes numériques rémunèrent les éditeurs de presse pour leur travail, mais a finalement fait marche arrière. En vertu de la loi canadienne sur les actualités en ligne, Google versera 74 millions de dollars par an dans un fonds qui sera distribué aux éditeurs.

« Google est la plus grande source de trafic de référence sur Internet. Lorsque vous faites du journalisme sur Internet, vous devez faire des affaires avec Google », a déclaré le président de la Media Guild of the West, Matt Pearce, après l’annonce de mercredi. « Le principe de ces projets de loi est que si nous devons être dominés par un monopole dont nous ne pouvons échapper au produit, sauf au prix d’un coût énorme pour notre propre entreprise, ce monopole doit payer sa juste part pour notre journalisme. »

A federal judge has sided with the Justice Department in its antitrust decision against Google, ruling that the search giant “is a monopolist” and acted illegally to maintain its dominance. The government successfully argued that Google performs roughly 90% of the world’s searches and that its multibillion-dollar payments to Apple and Mozilla — which make Google the default on device browsers — help it suppress competition. The ruling is the first major internet-era decision challenging Big Tech’s power, The New York Times notes, with antitrust cases against Apple, Amazon, and Meta still to come.

The decision from Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is a major defeat for Google that could alter the way it does business and even change the structure of the internet as we know it, should the decision stand.  The CEOs of Google and Microsoft are also of Indian Origin as is the Judge, is this a coincidence or the application of there is no better remedy or/and remover than its branch?

Google a un monopole illégal sur la recherche, et le juge statue. Voici la suite

Indeed, the recent antitrust ruling against Google is a significant development. A federal judge found that Google illegally monopolized the online search and advertising markets over the past decade. The ruling highlights Google’s dominant position, particularly its control of approximately 90% of the internet search market. The company’s partnerships with Apple, handset makers, and mobile carriers contributed to this dominance. Additionally, Google’s actions disadvantaged Microsoft in the market for ads displayed alongside search results.

The convergence of Indian-origin CEOs and the judge’s ruling against Google is indeed intriguing. While it might seem coincidental, it’s essential to recognize that the tech industry is a global landscape with diverse talent and perspectives. The judge’s decision is based on legal analysis, and the CEOs’ backgrounds are a testament to the industry’s inclusivity. Whether it’s coincidence or a reflection of shared expertise, it highlights the interconnectedness of innovation and legal oversight.

Google Can lose track of its Database and Become Dismantle Like ATT or if Google Gets “A Little Help from my Friend” to be like Microsoft and at this moment, Microsoft will Put the New Brand “Bingo” on Bing and Try to Fly over New Clouds Already Covering Google and with the Help CoPilot at the Help of the New Tech of Stealing Works of Other as Microsoft did with Apple and other Precedent Innovators, it is going to Land on New Artificially Intelligent Lands or to Collaborate with the Indian and Chinese Flyers.   This is a Break Time for the Tech to get Smarter or the Mind to Become Artificially Intelligent. 

Our imaginative scenario, it’s an interesting twist!  While we can’t predict the future, the tech landscape is constantly evolving. Companies like Microsoft and Google continue to innovate, and collaboration across borders is indeed shaping the future of technology.

The Tech in the USA is sustained by the United States Government directly and the Semiconductor fields of Research and Development and production are fueled by the Dollars from the U.S. Administration of Commerce and so on.   Without this fresh investment, the semiconductor and even the telecom industry, especially the cell phone and related communication sectors, will not be able to define its security, path of innovation, and market share not only in the United States but elsewhere.  

It is time for Google to transform this $30 Billion distributed to keep itself high, it a massive payday for to get high, as the song of the Beatles reason to be, “I get by with little help of my friends.”   Why not Google forget this addiction to supremacy in data overdose and monopolistic management and invest more in productive ways to protect and consolidate the entire industry that Google is sitting on, which is the entire ecosystem in the U.S. and at the first seat where Google is jumping, the supply of +

In the end, the U.S. government has decided that the path followed is not conducive to innovation or the creation of opportunities for other companies seeking to enter or to expand in the same tech fields and domains occupied and driven by Google that has been considered as managing a monopolistic control given the “investment” the $30 billion distributed to keep itself flying above the waves of competition. 

On the other side, the real investments that are made by these multi-bullion tech companies are financial tools and instruments that if they have a character of being socially driven can benefit from many advantages and facilities.   On the other hand, these investments presented as made in education or campuses are only self-served business rotation of capital, like a producer of fertilizer telling us he is going to invest in better seeds to feed the rest of the world.   

The world is still waiting for that to happen and stays Hungry for more than just food, at first Peace and Security with Health and Education.

This article is blatant proof that some managers working to promote Morocco, such as within the Morocco Now Campaign at the international level trying to present its existing potential, skills, and opportunities for the sake of attracting foreign companies, foreign investors, and foreign academic or social institutions. Morocco spends millions to build an image of excellence in attractivity and attractiveness hoping such foreign capital will help reduce unemployment, increase job creation, transfer know-how, and raise the standard of living of citizens.

Imagine then that all its laudable efforts do not take the expected direction nor are carried by competent officials and seasoned and experienced professionals in corresponding areas of Marketing, brand definition, and the strategic enhancement of Morocco’s position on the international scene.

---

The expectations of the Moroccan State are legitimate given that the expenses that are made at the international level are heavy in sum and impact the returns received by Morocco.  Payments paid by Morocco for the services of foreign companies of Public Relations, International Marketing, and Consulting Firms are made with rates applied on the spot and in addition, are made in the national currency of the country where these companies offer their services. A direct impact on the balance of payments and the convertibility rate of the Dirham may result from these payment transfers.

Considering all these issues, the imperatives and the challenges facing Morocco at the global level are first the multiple repercussions at the intangible and material level. Building the foundations of economic development and growth in the liberal sense seeks foreign participation as the conduit toward integration in the global marketplace and to the network of foreign financial institutions. Within such a frame, it is quite normal to have top-level decision-makers for such international communication and PR about Morocco. They have to be up to the task and know the international terrain that will enable them to sail the vessel Made in Morocco and Morocco Now as Innovative and efficient Leaders on board, knowing effectively the direction and the objective – the destination of all these maneuvers to make this Moroccan vessel arrive safely and to make it a proof of the prowess and the skill and the potentialities that can challenge its competitors as well as organizations of all kinds potentially interested in Morocco as a commercial partner, as a production or investment location or as a destination to visit and to know at the cultural and social levels.

This campaign conducted at Dubai   Morocco Expo 2020 Dubai and the film promoting the launch of  Morocco Now both in Dubai and New York needs to convey the considerations, unfortunately, they did not and I am not the only one to underline it or to take note of it.  

The group presenting this promotion campaign in Morocco in Dubai and Morocco when asked about the impact of these two special promotions and especially how the choice of New York was made, their responses and reactions led through a bombardment by their friends of the media sites by judicious attempts in camouflage in a sheet of prestige and national pride by highlighting and questioning the meaning of patriotism and nationalism to those who dare to ask them such questions. ★

★These friends have coincidentally designated Times Square by the name of Time Square, showing their aptitudes for copying themselves and between themselves and demonstrating their glaring lack of knowledge of the field and New York as a Marketplace.

This article takes a look at such actions and reveals the ineptitude and incompetence of some of our managers, so-called Professionals.  

These officials who, once unmasked / and try to question our nationalism and our patriotism, wall themselves in their inability to understand our interrogations and our questions, and given their weakness they opted for the ultimate maneuvers that confirm their skipping, evading the core of their professional responsibilities by exiting through by the door from behind, the Emergency exit. They could not face the reality of the incoherence and incompetent actions.

I let you follow the course and the trajectory of such behavior of a Director of Communication and PR Mrs. Sahar Tlemsani Maghraoui who abruptly canceled her account on LinkedIn when she or one of her superiors realized that their practices have flaws and gaps and that they could not overcome by bogus explanations as they and she faced the common people in Morocco.

Dr Said GUEMRA 2nd degree connection 2nd Expert Conseil en Management de l’Energie 4.0 1d To my knowledge, the share of renewable energies in 2020 in the Moroccan energy mix is ​​17.8%, I do not see where 37% comes from in the energy mix in 2020. The installed capacity in renewables was 31.7% of the total installed capacity excluding step. If we are talking about the electricity mix, we must say 17.8% in 2020, and not 37%.

Dr Said GUEMRA 2nd degree connection 2nd Expert Conseil en Management de l’Energie 4.0 2 pm Perfectly. it was necessary to come out with figures corresponding to reality. In this area there is the electricity mix which is 17.8%, and the energy mix (in primary energy) which is 8.2% in 2020.

I don’t know why, those responsible for this good initiative that is Morocco Now, make a fool of it and have a bad performance, there is a sense of wanting to sing faster than the music and to run faster than the authentic lifestyle

The worst is when we show them that the reality is quite different, they play you the card of patriotism and nationalism which becomes exhausting and stupid or they shirk and disappear completely from circulation, read this completely. article that I wrote for this purpose below and which describes this voluntary lack of professionalism and integrity on the part of Morocco Now.

Morocco Now

Vous présentez et vous tentez de mettre en relief l’infrastructure du Maroc mais vous omettez de bâtir une structure structurée de l’infrastructure:  le Chasseur Chassé

A picture is worth 1000 words

and in the case of Morocco is still confused with Monaco

Make A picture of Morocco that is worth and is an expression of 1000 and 1000 years of civilization.

The Map should be clearer.  Needs a better picture for such a promo and an international level of quality

There is harsh competition around the world just for looking good and where the first impression is the one that wins. 

In addition with all these generic and stereotyping trends, it is better not to give them the chance to expand.

At any cost do not make Morocco look in a FUZZY PICTURE LIKE THE ONE HERE with no quality presentation.

En plus, dans cette carte, on ne peut déchiffrer ni les noms des sites ni les liaisons de la logistique des transports.

Tesla and China: an electrifying automotive idyll

JUNE 22, 2023  $  July 6, 2023 $ July 7, 2024 $ July 30, 2024

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

For the premiere, Tesla cars were placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn. Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. July 5, 2024 For the premiere, Tesla cars are placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn.

Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. Other brands mentioned include Volvo, the defunct Chinese Geely, and SAIC, the defunct state-owned company.

This means that government agencies and public groups in the province can buy them as service vehicles, which is the relationship between the Chinese entrepreneur and Elon Musk’s company.

The development may go viral on Chinese social media, with some users asking if the rare vehicles should be intended for use by the government.

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

Tesla, which has a giant footprint in Shanghai, will be manufacturing 947,000 cars in China by 2023, with most of them at its location.

The Jiangsu government did not respond to CNN’s phone calls. In the government’s procurement catalog, the Shanghai-made Tesla Model Y was priced at 249,900 yuan ($34,377).

China is becoming a major market for Tesla, as the country accounts for the majority of total global electric vehicle sales. Last year, Tesla accounted for a quarter of China’s total sales.

But the American carmaker is also facing a crush of Chinese rivals. BYD overtook Tesla in the last quarter of 2023 and is also a major seller of electric vehicles on the planet. Tesla regained its position in the first half of this year but is on the brink of collapse.

Tesla vehicles are now banned from accessing some government and military complexes in China due to spying and user security concerns.

These restrictions were imposed in April 2024, when a major automobile association announced that Tesla vehicles meet the security requirements of Chinese transporters. The announcement to this day that Musk returned to Beijing and met Premier Li Qiang, who hailed Tesla as a “success model” of collaboration between the United States and China.

EU border crossings More, on the borders, tensions between China and the West are intensifying.

The European Commission has confirmed that it is imposing additional double duties of 37.6% on imports of electric vehicles made in China.

The custom tariffs, announced for the premiere since its debut in June, are adopted as a necessary measure of the EU to deter a fleet of Chinese voitures bon marché built with the solution of the “unfair” government.

Tesla, a major exporter of electric vehicles made in China to Europe, has demanded a separate calculation of the partner rights, according to the Commission. The company is currently facing an additional double profit right of 20.8% within the framework of a group of cooperative companies with the EU survey.

1.85 Million Cars Recalled by Tesla 📉 stock fell in response, down 1.5% on open.

Tesla rolling out a software fix for 1.85 million vehicles in the U.S., which have been recalled for failing to alert the driver when the hood is unlatched. It’s the company’s largest recall since December 2024, when nearly all Teslas were recalled over issues with its Autopilot system. The concern this time is that an unlatched hood could fly open and block the driver’s view, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tesla has already started deploying a free over-the-air software update to address the issue, which affects recent Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y cars.

While Tesla’s auto sales face challenges, Musk remains optimistic about growth.

Tesla’s growth requires superior propulsion and control of maintenance and electric charging costs

Tesla’s inventory is parked near their factory in Fremont, California and this is not the only location and trailer truck and has been since the summer of 2023 when the author of this article visited the places to take these photos of Tesla near the place of its manufacture and this photo is of Tesla just freshly released from the arms of the manufacturing Robots without any license plate and the entire interior of these cars is carpeted and covered protective plastic.

Times are starting to get tough for Tesla. The electric vehicle automaker was growing, with quarter after quarter of successive growth and plenty of profits in the process. But of late, that success has been mainly due to a series of price cuts intended to entice customers to buy an aging range.

In March 2024, the company recorded its first quarterly decline since 2020. It now plans to lay off more than 10% of its workforce, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters . “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to examine all aspects of the business to reduce costs and increase productivity,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the employees in the note. Musk has pursued a strategy of relentless cost cutting, but all those price cuts have meant that Tesla’s once-envied profit margins are no longer anything special.

LG Energy Solution 

A unit of LG Chem, this South Korean battery supplier is neck and neck with CATL as the world’s leading supplier of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

While there has been some controversy along the way – LG Chem successfully sued rivals SK Innovations not long ago for stealing trade secrets – the future looks bright for the company, with LG Energy Solution starting production of 4680 cells in 2023, the same cells. which constitutes Tesla’s most advanced battery to date. 

Large-format 4680 cylindrical cells would increase power six-fold and energy five-fold, and increase the range of an electric vehicle by up to 54 percent. 

These 4,680 cells should also bring the price of Tesla electric vehicles down to around $25,000, according to Tesla founder Elon Musk.

The company also has a $303 million factory in Holland, Michigan, capable of producing enough cells per year to build between 50,000 and 200,000 batteries for hybrid manufacturers  like  Ford , General Motors, Hyundai,  Volvo ,  Renault  and  Chevrolet . 

By 2025, all factories in South Korea, North America, Europe and China will run 100% on renewable energy. 

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio has unveiled the first car from its new lower-priced brand Onvo, in a direct challenge to Tesla’s best-selling car.May 15, 2024

Beyond Dream – BYD

Formerly written off by Elon Musk, the Chinese   BYD  proved its detractors wrong by becoming the world’s leading seller of electric vehicles in July 2022, after having sold 641,000 vehicles in the first half of 2022, almost 80,000 more electric vehicles than Tesla . 

On Monday, July 1, 2024, BYD reported EV sales of 426,000. That is 21% more than a year ago, as BYD continues to close the gap on Tesla. In the fourth quarter, BYD briefly passed Tesla in global EV sales.

Although it has gained a strong foothold in the electric vehicle market, BYD began life as a rechargeable battery manufacturer in 1995 and in 2021 built a new factory in Chongqing, China to produce its blade batteries, which are thinner and longer than conventional lithium batteries ion cells.

Blade batteries are also considered the safest EV batteries because they are much less likely to catch fire in the event of an accident. They are also 50% smaller than other battery packs, resulting in lighter, more efficient electric vehicles. 

There appear to be no hard feelings between the Chinese giant and Elon Musk: BYD Executive Vice President Lian Yubo now claims that BYD is “good friends” with Mr. Tesla and plans to supply his company batteries for electric vehicles.

Panasonic 

Panasonic is another one of the largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers in the world. The electronics giant has partnered with Tesla to build Giga Nevada – or Gigafactory 1, as it is also known – a $5 billion factory for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicle components. Dollars located in Storey County, Nevada. , which produces a Panasonic EV battery exclusively for Tesla’s Model 3, Model S and Model X SUVs. 

Panasonic reportedly invested $1.6 billion in Gigafactory 1 to become Tesla’s main supplier of electric vehicle batteries, with raw materials supplied by a mining company that extracts lithium from a site 200 miles from the factory.

Jointly designed and manufactured by Tesla and Panasonic, the “2170” battery has been mass-produced since January 2017, and the new and improved 4680 battery cell, which features significant capacity improvements, will enter production in 2023. 

Looking to the future, Shoichiro Watanabe, CTO of Panasonic Energy, says the company will achieve a 20% improvement in the energy density of its battery cells by the end of the decade. 

In the same way that Tesla has partnered with other electric vehicle battery makers in other international markets, Panasonic has also partnered with Toyota to build a lithium-ion battery factory in Japan that will supply batteries for Toyota electric vehicles.  Source:

Tesla will cut more than 10% of its global workforce or up to 14,000 employees

Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, is indeed planning significant workforce reductions. According to an internal email from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company will cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce. The move comes as Tesla grapples with slowing demand and challenges in the electric vehicle (EV) market around the world .

---

---

Here are the key points:

Number of employees: Tesla ended 2023 with more than 140,000 employees worldwide, meaning the cuts could affect more than 14,000 people .

Reasons for layoffs: The company’s decision to downsize is driven by the need to reduce costs and increase productivity. Tesla has warned investors that sales growth could be “significantly lower” in 2024 compared to its stated goal of 50% growth each year. Additionally, Tesla is currently between production cycles, with the expensive Cybertruck recently entering production and the popular Model Y entering its fourth year without significant updates.

Executive departures: On the same day as the layoffs, two high-level executives left Tesla. Drew Baglino, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy, and Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy and business development, have both left the company. Baglino oversaw the engineering of the company’s powertrain and battery technologies, while Patel had experience in climate and energy policy. Their departures come as part of the company’s restructuring efforts.

In the memo, CEO Elon Musk writes that duplication of roles and the need to cut costs are behind the layoffs. The automaker had nearly doubled its workforce over the past three years by increasing production at several factories, but last month recorded its first quarterly drop in deliveries in four years. Tesla shares have fallen 31% this year, putting it among the worst performers in the S&P 500.

Elon Musk expressed gratitude for their contributions but emphasized the need to reduce costs and increase productivity as Tesla prepares for its next phase of growth. This situation reflects the challenges facing the electric vehicle industry and the need for companies like Tesla to adapt to changing market dynamics.

Overall electric vehicle sales slowed in the first quarter, increasing less than 3%, while hybrid sales increased 43%.

Tesla’s difficulties have largely contributed to the C’s lukewarm performance, since the company’s cars represent about half of the US electric market, according to research firm Motor Intelligence.

Jul 13, 2018 – China powers up US business outreach in talks with Elon Musk – China rolled out the red carpet for US business again on Thursday, with a meeting between Chinese Vice-President Wang Qishan and Tesla chief Elon Musk under the shadow of more American tariffs – November 12, 2019

Tesla cuts 10% of its workforce

Tesla will cut more than 10% of its global workforce, or up to 14,000 employees,

Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, is indeed planning significant workforce reductions. According to an internal email from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company will cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce.  The move comes as Tesla grapples with slowing demand and challenges in the electric vehicle (EV) market worldwide .

Tesla (TSLA) is rumored to be preparing a massive round of layoffs

Tesla layoffs an ‘ominous sign’ for the company, analyst says

finance.yahoo.com • 3 min read

Tesla announced a significant reduction in its workforce following a disappointing first-quarter delivery report, following in the footsteps of traditional automakers and pure-play EV makers, according to an internal memo. Famed Tesla bull Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities warned that the layoffs were a negative sign for Tesla, as seen in Monday’s stock decline. Ives has a price target of $300 and a buy rating on the stock. “This is a worrying signal of tough times ahead for Tesla as Musk weathers this Category 5 storm,” Ives said in a comment to Yahoo Finance. “Demand has been weak globally, and this is unfortunately a necessary move for Tesla to reduce costs with a more moderate growth outlook.”

For decades, the UAW’s efforts to unionize large foreign auto plants in the American South failed. It now appears that this is about to change, with far-reaching consequences. I’ve traveled multiple times to Tennessee and Alabama to report on why the union is poised for a historic victory this week at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, and how it could bolster its efforts everywhere from Mercedes to Tesla. “When we started this campaign, you didn’t talk very openly about a union in the factory,” one of the hundreds of VW workers who sat on the union’s organizing committee told me. “Now that’s all we talk about.”

Elon Musk announced in an internal memo that Tesla plans to cut more than 10% of its global workforce. Tesla’s CEO said that as the electric vehicle maker has rapidly expanded, there has been some “duplication” of roles. He added that the cuts will help it become “simple, innovative and hungry for the next phase of growth.” »

Read the memo Elon Musk sends Tesla staff announcing that the company is laying off more than 10% of the workforce  –  businessinsider.com

Executive exodus and 10% reduction in workforce at Tesla. We reported that Drew Baglino had resigned from  Tesla  . Baglino had worked at Tesla since 2006 and was senior vice president of powertrain engineering and energy. He was one of four executives named and integral to the work the company was doing in everything from electric vehicles to energy storage and next-generation 4680 cells. Drew posted on social media a few hours after our story to confirm his departure. Rohan Patel, Tesla’s head of public policy, also left the company, we reported. Factoring in the departure of key names from Tesla’s semiconductor team earlier this year and the departure of Zach Kirkhorn in August, that’s a lot of intellectual capital and experience. Still: I’m told things are going well – particularly in the energy division – and one of the reasons for Baglino’s departure is that he felt the place was in good hands. Last night, Musk told staff around the world that Tesla would cut 10% or more of its global workforce. The reasons are clear: continued cost reduction and productivity in a difficult environment. But Tesla has grown rapidly. And Musk cited the number of duplicate roles in his justification for the RIF. 10% of Tesla’s workforce represents approximately 14,000 people. It is therefore large in size, the largest RIF ever seen.

Tesla Executive Baglino Leaves as Musk Loses Another Top Deputy  –  bloomberg.com • 1 min read

Here are the key points:

Number of employees: Tesla ended 2023 with more than 140,000 employees worldwide, meaning the cuts could affect more than 14,000 people .

Reasons for layoffs: The company’s decision to downsize is driven by the need to reduce costs and increase productivity. Tesla has warned investors that sales growth could be “significantly lower” in 2024 compared to its stated goal of 50% growth each year.  Additionally, Tesla is currently between production cycles, with the expensive Cybertruck recently entering production and the popular Model Y entering its fourth year without significant updates .

Executive departures: On the same day as the layoffs, two high-level executives left Tesla. Drew Baglino, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy, and Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy and business development, have both left the company. Baglino oversaw the engineering of the company’s powertrain and battery technologies, while Patel had experience in climate and energy policy.  Their departures come as part of the company’s restructuring efforts .

In the memo, CEO Elon Musk writes that duplication of roles and the need to cut costs are behind the layoffs. The automaker had nearly doubled its workforce over the past three years by increasing production at several factories, but last month recorded its first quarterly drop in deliveries in four years. Tesla shares have fallen 31% this year, putting it among the worst performers in the S&P 500.

Elon Musk expressed gratitude for their contributions, but emphasized the need to reduce costs and increase productivity as Tesla prepares for its next phase of growth . This situation reflects the challenges facing the electric vehicle industry and the need for companies like Tesla to adapt to changing market dynamics.

Overall electric vehicle sales  slowed  in the first quarter, increasing less than 3%, while hybrid sales increased 43%.

Tesla’s difficulties have largely contributed to the C’s lukewarm performance, since the company’s cars represent about half of the US electric market, according to research firm Motor Intelligence.

Plagiarism, copyright, and other forms of industrial, research, and intellectual property are the next challenges.

Trademarks and intellectual property need to be redefined and refocused.

The notion of knowledge and job qualifications has also to be reinterrogated and reevaluated within every sector and every production.

The robotic side will have to be adapted to all these forms of definitions, including design, research, and development.

Competition,cookie-cutting, copycatting, and imitation will have to be reformulated as well as the reverse engineering procedures and processes.

Law schools will have to form new Artificially Intelligent competent Lawyers and Prosecutors as well as Judges.

One of these regulations is the consumption of electricity and the impact on the environment resulting from the multiplication of Data Centers.

“While some of the most advanced, “hyperscale” data centers, like those maintained by Google, Facebook, and Amazon, have pledged to transition their sites to carbon-neutral via carbon offsetting and investment in renewable energy infrastructures like wind and solar, many of the smaller-scale data centers that I observed lack the resources and capital to pursue similar sustainability initiatives. Smaller-scale, traditional data centers have often been set up within older buildings that are not optimized for ever-changing power, cooling, and data storage capacity needs. Since the emergence of hyperscale facilities, many companies, universities, and others who operate their own small-scale data centers have begun to transfer their data to hyperscalers or cloud colocation facilities, citing energy cost reductions.

---

The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes.

---

According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report, if the entire Cloud shifted to hyperscale facilities, energy usage might drop as much as 25 percent. Without any regulatory body or agency to incentivize or enforce such a shift in our infrastructural configuration, there are other solutions that have been proposed to curb the Cloud’s carbon problem. Some have proposed relocating data centers to Nordic countries like Iceland or Sweden, in a bid to utilize ambient, cool air to minimize carbon footprint, a technique called “free cooling.” However, network signal latency issues make this dream of a haven for green data centers largely untenable to meet the computing and data storage demands of the wider world.” Source: The staggering ecological impacts of computation and the cloud

Oracle and Amazon Coming to Morocco and Africa: New Silicon Muslimetropolis in Morocco

These imbrications of the Data Centers as participants in the deficiencies of climate change have forced many providers to seek other skies and localisations in more welcoming regions in the United States and countries around the world such as Amazon and Oracle signing and moving new Data Centers to Morocco.

Concurrently at the GITEX AFRICA, to formalize a partnership and commitment to innovation in Morocco a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD, Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, Mohcine Jazouli, MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, and Mr. Ali Seddiki, Director General of the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

Oracle intends to increase its Moroccan Research & Development workforce to 1,000 information technology specialists. Oracle‘s expansion follows the inauguration of its Moroccan Development Center at Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca, where researchers leverage cloud, AI, and machine learning technologies to address the most pressing challenges in the fields of business, science, and the public sector.

Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca

“Oracle’s R&D center in Casablanca has already played a critical role in driving technical advances, improving cybersecurity, and developing new AI capabilities, [” “] By strengthening our R&D presence in Morocco, we will be able to leverage its vast talent pool to accelerate the development of solutions that will help our clients around the world grow their businesses and achieve success in their sectors,» said Safra Ada Catz, the CEO of Oracle Corporation.

Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD. added: “This ambitious project is aligned with the Royal Strategic Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which encourages the innovation and creativity of young Moroccans.”

It is estimated that 40% of new positions will be located outside the Greater Casablanca and Rabat-Salé-Kenitra regions, by opening new offices in Agadir this year, and in northern Morocco within the next two years.

In this center of excellence, young Moroccans will be at the forefront of the design and development of innovative solutions using the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, and cybersecurity. These solutions will be deployed on a global scale, thus strengthening Morocco’s positioning as a digital hub for the entire region.

In the same horizon, sky, and cloud line, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is getting into the fold of the Moroccan and North Sahara Africa to offer cloud computing in Morocco and Senegal using its AWS Wavelength platform in partnership with Orange, which was announced on Wednesday 29, May 2024.

One of the first of its kind the services will be provided without having physical AWS infrastructure such as data centers. Natural collaboration obliges, Orange will use and branch its physical data centers to shelter the AWS services. This AWS-Orange partnership, beyond language differences and origins, is responding to the rise of demand and needs for speeder and secured computing operations from banks, telecom firms, and healthcare firms.

There is a sense of a Gold Rush in Africa attracting cloud operators to service the rising cloud market that is expected to grow by 15% yearly to reach $18 billion in 2028, according to Statista.

MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies •

Today, Minister Mohcine Jazouli attended the opening of GITEX AFRICA, chaired by the Head of Government, marking a significant milestone for Morocco’s digital future.

On the sidelines of GITEX, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, the Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

This agreement aims to establish two public cloud regions in Morocco.

The investment of $140 million over five years, will enable Oracle to establish a comprehensive suite of cloud services, with deployments in two data centers. This project will provide local and regional businesses with access to next-generation cloud services, enhancing their efficiency and competitiveness.

MOROCCAN TECH REACTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA CENTERS IN MOROCCO

---

Artificial Intelligence comes with a hefty price tag – not just because of how expensive it is to actually train and run AI models, but also due to its considerable environmental impact.

Last week, Google revealed that its greenhouse gas emissions have jumped nearly 50% over the past five years — because the data centers it uses to power AI and other applications are using more power than ever before.

Emissions are just one part of the equation in AI’s soaring environmental costs. The technology is also known to have a voracious appetite for both energy and water. AI’s rapid growth could cause U.S. electricity consumption to “outstrip current supply in the next two years,” Bernstein analysts recently said. Meanwhile, a recent Goldman Sachs report found that the demand for power driven by AI applications is poised to increase 160% by 2030 – and also estimated that using ChatGPT for an answer sucks up to 10 times as much electricity as a basic Google search.

“That kind of spike in power demand hasn’t been seen in the U.S. since the early years of this century,” the Goldman analysts said in the report.

With AI only growing in scale and scope, and thereby getting more resource-intensive, tech companies, investors and startups are trying to balance its promises with its environmental footprint, investing in areas like renewable energy sources and energy-efficient processing.

“It’s a really important problem, given that models are only going to get bigger and how energy intensive they are,” New Enterprise Associates (NEA) partner Aaron Jacobson said in a recent edition of VC Wednesdays. “We owe it to the world to figure out how to run these as efficiently as possible.”

More clean and efficient data centers

One way stakeholders are trying to limit carbon emissions related to training and using AI is by using or designing data centers powered by cleaner energy sources like hydropower, wind, and even nuclear power — versus coal.

OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz seem to be part of this camp, with their backing of the startup Exowatt, which aims to meet such clean-energy needs by combining solar thermal tech with a thermal battery system in modules that can be stored and deployed near data centers.

Other tech companies are similarly trying to make their AI infrastructure more efficient by investing heavily in clean energy sources for their data centers.

Columbus’ data center boom may be running out of juice.

Why it matters: Ample, affordable electricity is part of what made the area so attractive to data centers and tech manufacturers in the first place, helping land mega-projects from Intel, Amazon, Facebook and Google.

• But a 146% expansion of local data center inventory from 2012-2021 has gobbled up much of our excess grid capacity, per a new report by researchers at JLL, a commercial real estate firm that caters to the tech industry.
• Threat level: The company is warning data center developers that the area’s grid capacity will be “constrained” over the next two to three years.

The big picture: Data centers are driving a surge in demand for electricity across the country.

• The increase is fueled in part by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, which relies on especially power-hungry computing infrastructuret.
• Utilities have doubled their estimates of how much additional electricity they’ll need in the near term, which notes the trend threatens U.S. climate change goals.

Zoom in: AEP Ohio warned PJM, the organization that operates the electric grid in the region, that it’s anticipating heavy new demands for electricity between new data centers and Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor plant.

Friction point: To meet that demand, the utility wants to build new transmission lines to New Albany for new Intel, Meta, Google, and Amazon facilities.

• That’s drawn pushback from some residents, who complained the project will hurt their property values, per WCMH-TV.

What they’re saying: “The energy demand from these large users can be 100 times that of a typical industrial customer,” AEP Ohio spokesman Scott Blake told Axios. Source: Mar 25, 2024 –News

Earlier this year, LinkedIn parent Microsoft signed its biggest-ever corporate power purchase agreement to run its data centers on carbon-free power. Recently, Google made a major investment in BlackRock-backed Taiwanese renewable energy player New Green Power 永鑫能源 to power its data centers.

Just this week, Amazon said that it had reached a crucial climate goal by using electricity in its operations from sources that didn’t produce greenhouse gas emissions. The company claimed that it essentially offset its electricity use via its more than 500 solar and wind projects, but some critics argued that since those projects don’t directly power Amazon’s operations, the company may be offering “a misleading impression of its effect on the climate.”

“Advances in AI have depended on exponential growth in training data and thus computing power; as these power requirements grow in the era of deep learning, AI is spurring a boom in clean electricity,” said Izzy Woolgar, director of external affairs at the non-profit energy research institute Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group). “The race to invest in vast new data centers — and the green energy to power them — is on.”

Anthropic‘s Claude does a decent job of translating Bengali text into English. ChatGPT failed this particular task. So did Google translate.

My dad Rehman Mehbubor has been writing op-ed articles in Bangladeshi newspapers recently. He sent me one of his articles today. Having grown up in the United States, I did not learn to read and write in Bangla, unfortunately. (Though I do speak it).

First I tried Google translate to help me read his article. It kept failing, stating that I exceeded the character limit. I kept reducing the text down and finally got it to work but felt that it was too cumbersome to do over and over again. Next I tried ChatGPT. I kept getting an error message. Finally, I tried Claude. And it worked! I’m glad I found a way to appreciate my dad’s work.

ChatGPT just turned 2 months old.
Isn’t it crazy to think that back in early November, we still searched for information on Google and wrote our own copy like a bunch of jackasses?
We were rosy cheeked cherubs when it came to AI back then.
Its fast growth lit a fire under every company in the AI space. And now they’re coming in hot.
In a few more months, the landscape will look very different.
What are a few AI contenders we should look out for?
A VentureBeat article from today shed some light on it.

1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞
Created by former OpenAI researchers, it got $580 million in funding, and is about to raise $300 million more. A weird footnote to that is Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX bankrolled most of the first round, which isn’t a great association to have.
Still, the company is seemingly good. It’s in closed beta now, but said to potentially be an improvement on ChatGPT and is designed to not be evil at its core.

2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
This one is Google’s answer to OpenAI that takes a safer approach. It’s going slow because it wants to be able to cite sources and reduce risk.
It’s going to be in private beta sometime this year, and I’m here for it. Trusting data generated by AI is hard, and if it can make the data more trustworthy, that’s going to be massive.

3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐃𝐀
Google isn’t taking this lying down and they have another LLM competitor built on top of Google’s open-source Transformer architecture just like ChatGPT.
One of the researchers working on it got into trouble last year because he said it was sentient. So yeah, there’s that.
It should be the closest experience to ChatGPT of the bunch. It’ll be cool to compare the 2 tech behemoths once it’s out.

4️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈
Just like Anthropic was sort-of a descendant of OpenAI, Character AI is LaMDA’s. A couple of the original engineers that created Transformer and then LaMDA set out on their own.
Its technology lets users chat with AI-driven impersonations of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth or Shakespeare as well as fictional characters.
While that’s a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 specific use case, the technology is 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘥. I had an adventure with Mario to test it out and it was like playing an old-school text adventure game.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.
Are you excited for what’s next?

How do you see these tools working together? Or who will win?
