🤖After DeepSeek's release, Chinese tech stocks have surged, with Alibaba leading the way, up over 50% in just one month🚀!

The AI boom sparked by DeepSeek is prompting global investors to reassess investment opportunities in China's tech and AI sectors, particularly the AI capabilities of previously undervalued Chinese internet companies. With Alibaba collaborating with Apple to integrate AI features into the Chinese version of the iPhone and 🔵Tencent's WeChat adopting DeepSeek, the demand for AI cloud computing services in China could soon mirror the supply shortages seen in the US. It's clear that China's AI progress is catching up to the US at an accelerated pace—and costs are dropping even faster. Source: Genuine Impact
