Is the United States intimidated?! A foreign reporter asked: "The nuclear warheads possessed by the United States can destroy the world 1000 times. Aren't you China afraid at all?" In this regard, Musk has already given an answer: "China has not risen, it has only restored its historical status. For most of human history, China has been the most powerful country in the world. They have a lot of smart minds and will do many great things, and DeepSeek is one of them..."
When foreign journalists threw the issue of nuclear deterrence, many people did not realize that behind this relentless, hides the bottom of thousands of years of civilization accumulation.
Looking back at history, this leadership is not a coincidence.Economic historians have estimated that for most of the time from 500 AD to 1800, China was the global economic and technological leader.
The "industrial miracle" was created by the Song dynasty, and in 1078 iron production reached 12.5 million tons, a figure that took the British seven centuries to catch.
More interestingly, the key technology in the European industrial revolution was used by the Chinese in the 11th century, several hundred years earlier than in Britain, which is not an empty history, but a continuation of civilization.
This gene has become a real technological breakthrough to this day. DeepSeek, which Musk specifically mentioned, is an example of the release of version 3.1 in August 2025, which failed to launch, relying on power to blow the pot in the global AI circle.
In four hours, the international hot list rushed to the fourth, the download volume quickly broke, and this can be done completely by the hard work - - a large model with 685 billion parameters, but can rely on special technology to allow ordinary developers to use it, the 128K contextual window can directly handle an entire "three" so long text, which was previously unthinkable.
More importantly, its open source strategy, completely open code for global developers to use freely, which is in sharp contrast to the closed-source monopoly of American technology companies. You must know that in the field of AI, technology blockade has always been a common method, but China has taken another path.
Just like after being restricted from chips, self-developed chips will soon be mass-produced; After the system was disabled, the number of Hongmeng users exceeded 800 million. The rise of DeepSeek is just another microcosm of this independent development logic.
Behind this is a steady stream of talent. The number of science and engineering graduates in China is several times that of the United States. These silent engineers are turning wisdom into strength.
From the ancient drums to the big models of AI today, from the paper money economy of the Song Dynasty to digital payments today, we can see that this innovation capability has never been broken.
A Spanish professor has found that except for a special period of modern times, China’s economy and population size have been at the forefront of the world, but are now only back to normal trajectory.
The outside world always loves to describe China with "rise", in fact, does not understand the pulse of history. Like in the face of the question of nuclear deterrence, the real bottom is not based on the sharp relative, but from the depths of civilization confidence and the firm strength of the present.
When a country can break its monopoly in the field of AI and extend its historical technological genes to today, it will naturally not be swayed by a single deterrent.
This “return” never depends on luck, it is the result of the silent accumulation of countless people in various fields. From the four great inventions of antiquity to the technological breakthroughs of today, from historical economic prosperity to the ecosystem of innovation today, it is a systematic ability.
Musk, as a leading figure in the field of science and technology, knows the scale of this ability more than anyone else, so will give that assessment.
So in your opinion, what unexpected breakthroughs will this innovative gene that has lasted for thousands of years bring?
