English video with Chinese subtitles: Qian Xiesen is the main reason why Yang Zhilin, the founder and CEO of Moonshot AI (Kimi) decided to leave US to return to China. He obtained his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. He sees no future for talented Chinese scientists in America! 視頻有中英文字幕: 錢學森是促使月之暗面（Moonshot AI／Kimi）創辦人兼執行長楊植麟決定離開美國、返回中國的主要原因之一。 楊植麟畢業於卡內基美隆大學, 取得博士學位。他認為，對許多優秀的華人科學家而言，在美國長遠發展的前景相當有限.
錢學森的經歷至今仍經常被引用，作為美國失去一位傑出科學家的典型案例。前美國海軍部長丹．A．金博爾（Dan A. Kimball）曾廣為流傳地表示，迫使錢學森離開美國，是「這個國家有史以來做過最愚蠢的一件事。」
China’s AI ecosystem: He saw China’s massive talent pool and favorable market environment as a huge advantage for recruiting and scaling a startup.
The Man U.S. Casted Away Built China’s NASA and today US still mistrust all Chinese scientists.
Qian Xuesen helped pioneer America’s early rocket program and later became a central figure in China’s missile and space programs. In between came one of the strangest episodes of the Cold War: the U.S. branded him a security risk, ordered him deported—then stopped him from leaving for five years because officials feared he knew too much.
This is the story of how America lost one of its most valuable scientists, a decision former Navy Secretary Dan Kimball later called “the stupidest thing this country ever did.”
U.S.-China AI Competition: The U.S. Has Lost Its Lead and Faces No Prospect of Recovery. By Johnson Choi, MBA on July 30 2026 report from Silicon Valley. 中美人工智能競爭：美國已失先機，復甦無望. 作者，蔡永強 商科碩士，在美國矽谷報導.
Wall Street, tech giants, and the White House have recently been touting America’s chip advantages. However, advanced semiconductors are only one component of AI infrastructure; the real bottlenecks lie in the energy and water resources needed to support massive data centers. Just as a top-tier racing car requires sufficient fuel to compete over long distances, the sustained operation of AI computing power depends on stable and affordable electricity and cooling water.
In reality, many regions in the U.S. are already grappling with structural challenges such as insufficient grid capacity and water scarcity. Even where supply can be secured, industrial electricity and water costs are four to five times higher than in China, directly undermining the operational economics of data centers and making long‑term, large‑scale deployment unsustainable.
By contrast, China’s AI development path emphasizes an open‑source ecosystem, allowing companies to freely download, modify, and deploy models—significantly lowering the barriers to entry. In the U.S., mainstream AI solutions tend to adopt closed‑source business models, which not only command high licensing fees but also cost 50 to 100 times more than comparable Chinese open‑source offerings.
This price gap is particularly crippling for startups. With limited resources, U.S. startups find it difficult to afford expensive closed‑source AI services, so turning to Chinese open‑source models has become a widespread trend. Industry observations suggest that roughly 70% of U.S. startups now use Chinese open‑source AI technologies in their products or processes. Should such options be restricted, most of these companies would face skyrocketing operational costs, loss of competitiveness, and even forced closures or relocation abroad.
In summary, America’s lag in the AI race stems not merely from technology or chips, but more fundamentally from deep‑seated disadvantages in infrastructure costs and business models. Under the twin pressures of the open‑source wave and resource constraints, the U.S. is unlikely to regain a dominant position—time is no longer on its side.

cent Pew Research Center poll shows that over 30% of American respondents believe China has surpassed the US to lead global artificial intelligence development. Recently, the Chinese company Dark Side of the Moon launched a new AI model, once again shaking the US market after DeepSeek. Meanwhile, US media reported that the US government is considering banning Chinese AI models. Nearly 200 US startups, hearing rumors, jointly wrote to the Trump administration opposing the ban, warning the White House that such a move would not stop the global spread of Chinese models but would instead bankrupt some American companies. Why does the US government want to ban Chinese AI? Will Trump listen to the opposition from these companies?
Video: Once, top global tech giants gathered in Beijing, vying fiercely for a young Chinese talent, offering a $25 million annual salary, U.S. immigration, and more. But Pang Zhongwang—a pillar of the nation and a Tsinghua University Ph.D.—turned them all down, devoting himself wholeheartedly to serving his motherland. Pang Zhongwang once said: “Leave the trials behind, give your smile to the sun. Responsibility is written in your name, and strength fills your every step. A sword honed by sharpening, a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon. Keep moving forward, keep striving upward—never disappoint your mother’s gaze, never disappoint the hopes of this era.” 視頻在中英文字幕: 曾经全球顶尖科技巨头齐聚北京，只为争到一位中国🇨🇳青年提供二千五百萬美元年薪, 移民美國等等. 但庞众望, 国之栋梁, 清华大学博士全部拒絕，一心一意為祖國服務. 庞众望: “背影留给坎坷，笑容交给阳光，名字里写着责任，步履中充满力量，磨砺过的剑，破茧后的蝶。你一直向前，一直向上，不辜负妈妈的目光，不辜负时代的期望.” 不是每個中國人🇨🇳祇是往錢裡看包括年輕人!
Video: It is with deep sadness that we share the news: our favorite San Francisco eatery, ChinoYang’s Hunan and Mandarin Cuisine, will be closing on July 28, 2026 – a direct result of the assault on its owner this past March. By Johnson Choi, MBA, July 26 2026 我們懷著沉痛的心情告知大家：我們在舊金山最愛的餐館 – ChinoYang’s 湖南與京菜 – 將於2026年7月28日結束營業，這直接源於今年三月店家老闆遭受的襲擊事件。
This heartbreaking loss is a stark reflection of the rising anti-Asian hate and violent crimes targeting Chinese Americans, rhetoric that has been dangerously fueled by U.S. Presidents, Congressional delegations, and state and city officials who scapegoat Chinese Americans and China for all of America’s ills. The threat is utterly unpredictable—attackers can appear anywhere, at any time.
That very uncertainty is precisely why thousands of Americans are now choosing to retire in China’s Greater Bay Area. After all, as the old Chinese saying wisely puts it: “Your money in the bank is useless when you are in heaven.”
