Bull case

▲ upside

China-only competitive moat backed by national-security imperative and effectively unlimited state capital. 72-qubit Wukong operational since Jan 2024; >20M cloud accesses from 139 countries. IPO counseling filed Sept 2025 for Shanghai STAR Market.

Bear case

▼ downside

Cut off from Western markets, capital, and supply chain due to export controls. Technical capability trails IBM/Google by 2-3 years. Domestic substitute supply chain still maturing.
