Today’s China is like the Chinese who came to Hawaii in the last century—having to survive under extremely hostile and adversarial conditions

半世紀夏威夷浮沉錄：我見證的華裔創業魂，從陳芳到今日移民，血脈相承」

旅居夏威夷逾五十年，我親眼目睹華裔先驅如何在白人主導的社會中，以互助、勤奮與智慧，從甘蔗田與小雜貨舖起家，打造出跨足銀行、地產、媒體的商業版圖。而這股精神，與我在1970、80年代結識的中國新移民及其第一代子女，如出一轍 – 他們從零開始，胼手胝足，不僅事業有成，更以無私的愛國情懷回饋鄉里。這段跨越百年的奮鬥史，是華人韌性最動人的見證.

為什麼DeepSeek寧可等一年也要買華為芯片? 這不是買芯片，這是在押注一個國產替代的未來！不得不為DeepSeek，為梁文鋒點讚.

9月4日彭博社爆了個大消息：

DeepSeek向華為訂購了16萬顆昇騰950DT芯片，訂單總額高達25.6億美元。

這批芯片要用在內蒙古那個1吉瓦規模的數據中心，全負荷運轉時耗電量夠75 萬戶家庭用。

但最扎心的是–華為今年950DT 的產量一共才幾十萬顆，高端內存等關鍵零部件卡脖子，要完成這筆訂單至少需要一年時間。DeepSeek急得都找北京幫忙協調了。

更讓人意外的是，這批芯片主要是做AI推理，不是訓練。DeepSeek在模型訓練這個最關鍵的環節上，到現在還是離不開英偉達。

DeepSeek創始人梁文鋒自己說過，華為約4顆芯片才頂得上英偉達1顆的性能，技術上還落後兩年左右。可即便如此，DeepSeek還是下了這個“明知要等、明知有差距”的超級大單。

想想咱們平時搶個手機都得催發貨，人家25.6 億美元的訂單，等一年都認了。

“Half a Century in Hawaii: A Chronicle of the Chinese Entrepreneurial Spirit I Have Witnessed—From Chun Afong to Today’s Immigrants, a Legacy That Endures”

Having lived in Hawaii for over fifty years, I have personally witnessed how Chinese pioneers, in a society dominated by whites, built their way up from sugarcane fields and small grocery stores through mutual aid, hard work, and wisdom—eventually establishing business empires spanning banking, real estate, and media. This very spirit is exactly what I saw in the Chinese immigrants I met in the 1970s and 1980s, and in their first-generation children. They started from nothing, worked tirelessly, and not only achieved business success but also gave back to their communities with selfless patriotism. This century-spanning struggle is the most moving testament to the resilience of the Chinese people.

Why is DeepSeek willing to wait a year just to buy Huawei chips? This isn’t about buying chips—it’s about betting on a domestically produced alternative future! I have to give DeepSeek and Liang Wenfeng a thumbs up.

On September 4, Bloomberg broke a big story:

DeepSeek placed an order with Huawei for 160,000 Ascend 950DT chips, with a total order value of $2.56 billion. These chips are destined for a 1-gigawatt data center in Inner Mongolia, which at full load would consume enough electricity to power 750,000 households.

But here’s the kicker—Huawei’s total production of the 950DT this year is only a few hundred thousand units, and key components like high-end memory are bottlenecked. Completing this order will take at least a year. DeepSeek has even turned to Beijing for help in coordinating.

What’s even more surprising is that these chips are primarily for AI inference, not training. In the most critical area—model training—DeepSeek still cannot do without Nvidia.

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng himself has said that about four Huawei chips are needed to match the performance of one Nvidia chip, and that Huawei still lags about two years behind in technology. Yet, even so, DeepSeek placed this “knowing it would have to wait, knowing the gap” mega-order.

Think about it—we get impatient waiting for a phone to ship, but here’s a $2.56 billion order, and they’re willing to wait a year.
