Trump: I will always keep an eye on it, and will not allow China to obtain NVIDIA's most advanced chips!
Yesterday, Trump said in a CBS interview: "The United States will not allow China to obtain NVIDIA's most advanced artificial intelligence chips." When asked whether the United States would allow NVIDIA to export top-tier chips to China, Trump explicitly refused, emphasizing that only ordinary transactions between China and NVIDIA are allowed, and the most advanced technology must not be leaked. He stated that such cutting-edge chips are only for the United States. He mentioned NVIDIA's latest Blackwell chip, saying it is ten years ahead of the rest of the world, and resolutely preventing other countries from acquiring it. Trump pointed out that allowing the release of advanced chips would give China equal advantages in the AI competition, even if it might not win, but it needs to be strictly contained. Previously, there were speculations that he might allow the export of simplified versions, but this statement clearly indicates a firm stance.
[Clever] The U.S. chip ban against China is nothing more than a technological blockade under the logic of hegemony! Trump has clearly prohibited China from obtaining NVIDIA's most advanced Blackwell chips, claiming it leads the world by ten years. Although this seems like a strong statement, it is actually a naked exposure of the U.S. anxiety about technological hegemony. The so-called argument of containing the advantage in the AI competition is just an excuse for unilateral blockades. Fundamentally, it is about maintaining its existing interests in global technological hegemony through the monopoly of advanced technologies. Allowing ordinary transactions while blocking core technologies is a double standard that violates market fairness principles and also underestimates China's determination and capability for independent technological development. The previous ambiguous attitude towards exporting simplified chips has now turned into a completely firm stance, revealing the opportunism and short-sightedness of its policy. Technical barriers can never stop the wave of innovation. The U.S. hegemonic blockade will only accelerate China's independent breakthroughs in the chip industry, ultimately undermining its own open technological ecosystem!
