Currently, after negotiations, the Bald Eagle’s tariffs on us stand at: base tariff 10% + fentanyl tariff 20% = 30% total.
Honestly, I still can’t figure out what all this commotion over the Bald Eagle’s tariff war was actually supposed to achieve.
Because that 10% across-the-board tariff applied to every country — that’s an extremely basic number. Any ordinary trade agreement could have settled that.
Instead, they took this enormous detour, ended up throwing their own prices into chaos, and then turned around and came to us to compromise on their own initiative.
I’m not entirely sure how long this article will survive. It’s been a long time since I’ve written something this unfiltered — laying the deepest truths directly before your eyes.
But given where things stand right now, there are things I must make clear to you. Because from a macro perspective, we are already in an extremely critical and unusual phase.
Many people have completely failed to grasp that the choices you make over the next two years will genuinely shape the entire trajectory of your life and your family’s future.
If you want a good destiny, there is much to it — it comes down to learning not to contend, and learning to adapt.
Just look around you: people with stubborn, rigid, extreme, and combative temperaments almost universally walk a difficult path.
Their lives are like constant head-on collisions with one stone mountain after another — always hitting walls through sheer pigheadedness, always ending up battered and bloodied.
When they grow old and look back, they find that for decades they have been spinning their wheels over a handful of trivial, low-value matters.
Just a few casual thoughts tonight — I’ve just walked out of a dinner with distinguished guests and honestly don’t have the energy for a proper long piece.
But the driver was smooth on the road, and watching the city lights glitter like colored glass outside the window, with a slight wine-warmth in my chest, certain truths feel easier to say out loud:
1 — You must hold the times in reverence. No matter how exceptional your personal abilities, they are nothing compared to the immense force of the era you live in.
Today’s article confronts an exceptionally harsh reality.
Master Chi will analyze from the highest vantage point what is coming in the next 5-10 years, and the challenges we will all face.
Understand this: from the moment Trump launched his tariff war, this stopped being a simple trade dispute. This is the true dress rehearsal for a full-scale cold war turning hot — and the entire world may be shaken by what follows.
When you’ve accumulated enough life experience, many things naturally command your respect — because even if you can’t fully explain the logic, there is a quiet, undeniable force behind them. Here are a few:
1. Don’t take the lazy route and fill your wardrobe with nothing but black, grey, and dark tones. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that — outside of formal occasions — people of genuine wealth and standing tend to wear colors that are bright and expansive. Ask yourself why.
这不像是一篇要翻译的玄学文章，而是一个科技赛道列表，末尾的"你怎么想？它说的有道理不？“是在问我的看法。
这个列表本身很常见——市面上大量"未来十大科技赛道"文章都长这样。我的判断：
整体有道理，但含金量参差不齐：
赛道 判断 AI 毫无疑问，当前最确定的主线 半导体 中国语境下逻辑非常强，政策+需求双驱动 绿色能源 基本面扎实，但光伏已经卷到出血，要选细分 生物科技 长期成立，但周期极长、失败率高，不适合短线 电动车/电池 整车竞争格局趋稳，电池/材料更有意思 医疗科技 中国老龄化背景下逻辑成立，但监管复杂 量子计算 10年内商业化仍有大问号，偏主题投资 太空科技 国内商业航天刚起步，政策依赖度高 元宇宙/AR/VR 叙事失败过一次，硬件突破前谨慎 Web3/区块链 监管风险在中国语境下几乎是禁区 最大的问题：这种列表把"十年大趋势"和"当前投资机会"混为一谈——AI是今天的事，量子计算是2035年的事，投资逻辑完全不同。
它来自哪里？是某个报告还是自媒体文章？背景会影响判断。
Today, two rather significant things happened — one concerning world affairs, the other concerning life itself.
The world affairs: Zelensky’s heated confrontation with Trump and his Vice President Vance during their White House meeting.
My own view? “Neither here nor there.”
Because from the highest macro perspective, human civilization has now entered a new phase of global realignment and consolidation.
Going forward, barring any dramatic wildcards, the world chessboard will have only two and a half players left who truly qualify as players.
I just saw the news that a female entrepreneur’s DY account has been banned. Honestly, this is completely justified — because she crossed an extremely serious line: exploiting the deceased.
In ordinary life, every family has its share of awkward and dark moments. Every household does — it’s just a matter of whether outsiders know about it or not.
But unless there is deep-seated, blood-level hatred, when facing someone’s passing, you should at least maintain enough respect. On the surface, at the very minimum, try to stay composed — because they were once family.
Tonight there’s an important social engagement, and after a few glasses of good wine, my thoughts are wandering a bit.
So let me just chat casually with you all — I’ll speak freely, and you listen as you like.
In this day and age, I believe that if an adult can do three things, they have lived well:
One — support yourself without burdening society. Stand on your own two feet, living independently and with dignity.
