Zhan Lingyu said that once, the three words Huang Renxun were equivalent to Huida. 33 years. From a graphics card company that no one was optimistic about, it has become a global AI overlord. This kind of story cannot be written in textbooks. The result? Destroyed in the corpus cavernosum.

Zhan Lingyu said bluntly that it wasn’t because of technology, because the opponent was too strong, or because of U.S. sanctions, but because he couldn’t control himself. For Taiwanese, this incident is particularly difficult. He was our pride. Every time I come to Taiwan and visit the night market, I speak Taiwanese and English, and I am as friendly as the uncle next door. The media chased him and fans lined up for autographs. We truly believe that this man loves Taiwan.

Zhan Lingyu questioned, looking back now, were those real or staged? No one knows anymore. What’s even more insufferable is the object. The affair was ugly enough, but one of them was suspected by U.S. intelligence agencies of being a Chinese spy. A person who holds the most critical chip in the world is surrounded by people like this. He has always wanted to sell chips to China. What role does this relationship play in it? Have you taken the gray route to bypass US regulations? He owes the whole world an explanation for these issues.

Zhan Lingyu lamented that personal morality can be a private matter. But when personal morality meets national security, it is no longer the case. The myth is shattered in just one night. The leather coat is still there, but the godfather is gone.
