This is the age of AI, and many startups are emerging. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking at how innovative AI companies are launching. There are three main routes from the US to China:
Partner with companies that have large user bases. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has partnered with Microsoft, which has millions of users. Microsoft provides feeds (data) to advance ChatGPT at scale.
We spend a lot of money on promotions and advertising to get data and improve our AI models as soon as possible. This is the Temu pass. Temu uses AI to power shopping within its ecosystem.

Yes, anyone can use a credit card to buy anything online, regardless of geography. The amount you bring in will not have a material impact on the total pool of the market.
