Kling (Chinese AI video leader) raising $2.8B at $18B valuation on ~$500M ARR. Meanwhile Higgsfield (US, similar revenue) raising at $5B. Jason questions whether a structural Chinese AI valuation bubble exists — higher local valuations change fundraising dynamics for founders. Rory counters that DeepSeek and ByteDance trade at discounts to Western peers.
