Sep 24, 2025 Wall Street’s 60/40 formula was born in 1952 — the same year as the first credit card. A lot has changed since. That’s why we created a new approach — The --- H.E.A.T. Formula — to empower investors to spot opportunities, think independently, make smarter (often contrarian) moves, and build real wealth.

Alibaba shares jump 9% in U.S. premarket after CEO unveils plans to boost AI spending Alibaba plans to increase spending on AI models and infrastructure development even further, Chief Executive Officer Eddie Wu said Wednesday. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/24/alibaba-shares-rise-over-6percent-after-ceo-unveils-new-ai-products-and-spending-plans.html I’ve been telling you guys about Chinese stocks for a while. Normally I like to buy China when nobody else wants to, but this run feels like it may have some legs. We saw a distinct rotation into energy yesterday, which has been a dead area. Hence my stock of the day below. I saw a bunch of people buying oil and gas stocks, I tend to like to stick to natural gas, but one name I am also going to look at today is TPL….. It’s a royalty company so it’s a bit different than an Exxon or Chevron. One day I will write about royalty companies. More on China below…. 🧠 China’s “Stargate” Strategy: Can Beijing Close the AI Compute Gap? ‘Stargate of China’ plan emerges to challenge US as AI superpower Beijing increases oversight of its data centres to make better use of limited computing resources www.ft.com/content/31b8d6d8-adb0-4db0-a292-422c5a3bff19 Typically the time to invest in China is when nobody wants it, but lately Chinese stocks have been rallying and this time it seems to be real (China has a history of disappointing though). GDS is the data center name we talk about from time to time, still like it here, in a nice uptrend…….. BABA of course is the main Chinese AI ADR play….. And BIDU….. Today we take a deep dive on the FT article. The FT piece outlines Beijing’s new push to consolidate its fragmented data center landscape into a coordinated national strategy — nicknamed the “Stargate of China.” The move is a direct response to America’s overwhelming advantage in compute: estimates suggest the U.S. controls ~75% of global AI compute capacity, while China lags at ~15%. Triage of scarce compute: Beijing is instructing western provinces (Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qingyang) to handle training workloads , while new clusters in population hubs like Wuhu (Yangtze Delta), Guizhou (Guangzhou), and Qingyang (Chengdu/Chongqing) focus on inference , where proximity to users matters. Massive spend: Wuhu’s “Data Island” alone = RMB 270B (~$37B), hosting Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile. Subsidies cover up to 30% of AI chip procurement , more generous than other regions. Workaround strategy: U.S. export controls prevent Chinese access to Nvidia’s most advanced GPUs (Blackwell series). China’s stopgaps include ( • 1) domestic chips from Huawei & Cambricon, ( • 2) black-market imports of restricted Nvidia GPUs, and ( • 3) networking smaller clusters together to mimic hyperscale capacity. Technology pivot: Huawei is spearheading “UB-Mesh,” a networking solution that links disparate sites and claims to double LLM training efficiency by smarter load allocation across clusters. Strategic Implications Strengths of U.S.: Hyperscalers (Meta, Google, Microsoft, xAI) are deploying tens of thousands of cutting-edge Nvidia GPUs, with projects like Stargate (Texas) targeting 400,000 processors in a single mega-complex. U.S. advantage = scale + supply chain + Nvidia lock. China’s challenge: Lacking top-end chips, Beijing is forced into second-best solutions — distributed networks of less-powerful processors. This introduces efficiency losses, higher costs, and maintenance headaches. Beijing’s hedge: Subsidies + central planning can stretch scarce resources further. Long-term, if Huawei/Cambricon can achieve commercially viable AI chips, China could carve out a sustainable domestic ecosystem — though still years behind. Winners & Losers 🏆 Winners (First Order – China domestic) Huawei – positioned uniquely as both a telecom & AI hardware player. UB-Mesh could become the backbone of China’s distributed AI infra. Rating: 8/10 . China Telecom / Unicom / Mobile – beneficiaries of the state-mandated push to interconnect clusters nationwide. Rating: 7.5/10 . Cambricon (688256 CH) – Beijing-backed AI chip designer. Investors already betting it will be “China’s Nvidia.” Rating: 7/10 . ⚙️ Second Order (Global spillovers) Nvidia ($NVDA) – short-term demand hit (can’t sell advanced GPUs to China) but black-market demand underscores irreplaceability. Rating: 9/10 . TSMC ($TSM) / Samsung ($005930 KS) – restricted from supplying advanced nodes to China, which keeps their highest-margin production tied to U.S./allied customers. Rating: 8.5/10 . Western hyperscalers ($MSFT, $GOOG, $META, $ORCL) – continue to enjoy uncontested access to top compute. Reinforces U.S. lead. Rating: 9/10 . ❌ Losers China AI startups – forced to compete with second-best hardware, black-market supply, and fragmented infra. Efficiency disadvantage = margin compression. Rating: 5/10 . European utilities/infra providers – excluded from China’s domestically protected market, while U.S. players capture the bulk of hyperscale spend. Rating: 5/10 . Gas/coal-heavy power providers in China – will be leaned on to power these clusters but without subsidy upside. ESG headwinds mount. Rating: 4/10 . Investor Takeaway U.S. structural lead widens: Export controls + Nvidia’s dominance + hyperscaler capex ensure the U.S. stays ahead for at least the rest of this decade. China’s mitigation strategy: Central planning + Huawei UB-Mesh + subsidies keep them in the game, but at higher cost and lower efficiency. Tradeable edges: Core: $NVDA, $TSM, $MSFT, $GOOG, $META (U.S. hyperscaler + chip ecosystem). Speculative China tilt: Cambricon, Huawei-adjacent telecoms, but risk = high. Hedge: Track global black-market GPU flows → evidence that Nvidia demand is more resilient than U.S. export policy assumes.
