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.
