Will the U.S. restrict AI data centers impact Taiwan? Du Yijin: Can block construction, but cannot block demand

After the U.S. midterm elections, many state AI data center policies may be adjusted, and Wall Street investors sold related stocks. Du Yijin, founder of Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, said that the demand for AI will not disappear due to the U.S. election. The restriction of supply by data centers does not mean the disappearance of demand. Taiwan has advanced semiconductor and AI server supply chains and is the best partner in the world.

Price is no longer a barrier, but just a ticket? Ten thousand-yuan humanoid robots usher in a new competition of "real delivery"

The humanoid robot Xiao Bumi became popular after appearing on the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its developer Songyan Dynamics priced the robot at 9,998 yuan, targeting the 10,000-yuan humanoid robot market. As of September 2026, more than 5,000 units have been delivered, which is still far from the goal of exceeding 10,000 units. Founder Jiang Zheyuan believes that general-purpose large models will not replace the self-developed brains of robotics companies, and data closed loop is the barrier.

Reuters: 600,000 Huida H200 chips are stranded in Hong Kong and China has not approved large-scale imports

About 600,000 Nvidia H200 advanced AI chips are stored in Hong Kong waiting to be shipped to China, but Beijing has not yet approved large-scale imports. People familiar with the matter said that some chips have been allowed to enter China, with large Internet companies each receiving about 10,000. Since 2022, U.S. export controls have restricted China's access to Nvidia's advanced chips. A server equipped with 8 H200s sells for more than 6 million yuan, about three times as much as a year ago.

Avoiding U.S. export controls, the dark side of China’s AI startup turns to Europe to rent Huida chip computing power

Chinese AI startup Dark Side of the Moon is trying to circumvent U.S. export controls by obtaining restricted advanced chips from Nvidia through European data centers. Sources revealed that the company has negotiated to rent facilities from emerging cloud players in Europe this year, including computing clusters equipped with at least 8,000 Blackwell GPUs for inference and training. The White House previously accused it of using Blackwell chips remotely through facilities in Thailand.
