CHINA PERFORMS WORLD-FIRST AI ROBOT SURGERY 5,000KM AWAY

A medical team in Shanghai successfully operated a surgical robot remotely to perform pharyngeal and laryngeal surgery on a patient in Xinjiang’s Kashi Prefecture—marking a world-first in telesurgery using Chinese AI technology.

The TORSS surgical robot, controlled in real-time by doctors at Fudan University’s Eye and ENT Hospital, executed precise procedures 5,000 kilometers away.

This breakthrough sets the stage for AI-powered remote surgeries to expand access to advanced healthcare across China.

CHINA’S AI GOLD RUSH IS ON

Investors are banging on the doors of AI startups, desperate to get in on the next big thing.

Everyone wants a piece—whether it’s brain-computer interfaces, robot-makers, or medical AI. The money is finally flowing again.

For years, Chinese tech was stuck in copycat mode.

Now, real innovation is taking center stage, and DeepSeek’s rise is proving it.

Even venture capital, which was on life support, is showing signs of life.

But there’s a catch. IPO exits are still a nightmare, thanks to strict regulations and U.S.-China tensions.

This AI gold rush could hit a wall fast.

DEEPSEEK’S PARADOX: CHINA’S WIN IS HUMANITY’S GAIN

China’s AI breakthrough hurts U.S. tech giants today but could spark tomorrow’s AI renaissance.

As Trump noted Monday:

“This should be a wake-up call that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win.”

DeepSeek’s efficiency revolution – doing more with less – forces America to rethink its brute-force approach.

This fundamental disruption pushes U.S. innovation beyond just throwing more chips at the problem.

Microsoft’s Nadella sees the silver lining: when technology becomes more efficient, its applications expand exponentially.

What started as China’s defensive innovation now ignites a global AI race.

And history shows nothing drives American ingenuity like worthy competition.

The real winners?

Humanity, as two superpowers race to make AI better, faster, and more accessible for all.
