Once again – the US is strangling China one more time on chips.
NVIDIA made a downgraded “China-version” of their A100 to an A800 chip – now the US government wants to forbid that too. See this.
No reason to talk about the latest and more advanced NVIDIA “China-chip” H800 – it will be banned for China too.
Not even a year has passed since the US introduced the chip sanctions on China – and the US is already unhappy that it “allowed” China “too much”.
This will NEVER end before China is done.
- First, the US wants to forbid China to ever participate in the improvement in chips.
Moore’s law states that chip power doubles every 2 years – but US wants China to NEVER have better chips than as of Autumn, 2022 when chip sanctions started).
Every 2 years, the US will have double the chip power of China – and China will stand still.
2. But the US will not even be satisfied with forcing China to a stand-still in chips as per “Autumn 2022”.
The US is already attacking China’s existing business in computer centers (not even for AI), incl. in Brazil.
We also see US anger that even simple chips for washing machines are being used for military weapons (example: Russia).
The US will want China to regress – go backwards – in chip technology.
You cannot run AI without a lot of computer power.
This is about AI, but more than that. It is about depriving China-Russia of technology as a whole !
No technology and hence no advanced country can run without modern computers. China is a decade behind in its own chip-making technology. Already now, 2023, China is without the most modern computing chips.
China is in an undeclared cold war with the US. A US war for the total destruction of China as a power – even as a regional power.
The salami is cut – slice for slice, technologies are taken away from China, investments are taken away from China (recently, Sequoia Capital was banned from investing in China), US business cooperation is taken away from China, cooperation with the EU is deprived by the US (“de-risking”), relations with India are part of the chess game – everything is done.
It took Russia until Autumn 2022 to really understand that the US wants to destroy Russia as a power.
China has not fully understood, that Russia is only a secondary target of the US – the primary target is the destruction of China.
