Trump has spoken! There's no room for discussion on this issue, and the US will not yield an inch. On November 3rd, according to foreign media reports, US President Trump said in an interview that he would not sell the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips from Nvidia. We will not agree. Nvidia is the top company in the chip industry globally. We will let them do business with Nvidia, but we will not let them obtain the most advanced chips. Besides the US, we will not allow any other country to acquire such chips.
Because that would allow them to win the AI competition. They may not necessarily win, but they will definitely have equal advantages as us. Obviously, Trump's meaning is clear: it's impossible to get the most advanced AI chips from the US, regardless of China's attitude, the US will not budge. The US will at most allow China to obtain less advanced chips.
In a way, regarding the Sino-US tech competition, Trump has laid his cards on the table. From our perspective, since the US continues to implement its tech containment policy, first, our rare earth control policy, in addition to the already reached consensus to ensure the normal needs of US companies, we will certainly not allow US defense enterprises to obtain any rare earths from China.
Second, since the US is unwilling to cooperate with us in high-tech fields, what we need to do is continue to promote the independent and autonomous development of high-tech industries. Therefore, our AI industry will absolutely not be built on an ecosystem based on unsafe and performance-inefficient Nvidia chips. Obviously, Trump's stance reflects the true reaction of the US towards Sino-US relations. In short, the US will never accept a China that is technologically advanced. Even though the Sino-US relationship has seen a temporary easing, we still should not have any illusions about the US.
