DeepSeek Sends Panic Across Silicon Valley: Is China the Future of AI?

Panic erupted across Silicon Valley and Wall Street this week as DeepSeek, a Chinese tech company, released its AI model and sent U.S. tech stocks plummeting, with Nvidia losing $588 billion in value in just one day. Amanda and KJ talk to geopolitical analyst Cyrus Jannsen about how DeepSeek has disrupted the U.S. tech industry, the significance of its open source model, and how Chinese engineers built this competitive learning model despite U.S. sanctions, which restricted their access to the most advanced semiconductor chips. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. ►Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/BreakThroughNews ►Donate: https://www.breakthroughnews.org/donate ►Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BTnewsroom ►Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btnewsroom/ ►Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/btnewsroom ►Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@btnewsroom #BreakThroughNews
