French media rarely speak the truth! As the US attempts to impose stricter chip bans on China, French media have spoken out. On April 21st, French media cited expert opinions, stating that the Trump administration tried to curb China's progress in the field of artificial intelligence by preventing American companies from exporting chips to China. However, this move will come at a heavy cost for the United States. Why is that? The French media pointed out that if the US does so, China will be left with no choice but to redouble its efforts in designing its own cutting-edge chips. Once these chips gain competitiveness, they will start selling around the world. Once the supply chain changes, it will be very difficult to regain the market. Control cannot guarantee that the US will always stay ahead. Clearly, when Trump attempted to implement even stricter control measures, French media rarely spoke the truth. In short, French media believe that control will only lead China to invest more funds and talents, and under such circumstances, China may achieve a breakthrough in the chip sector. In fact, the French media's view is completely correct. The fundamental way for the US to ensure its leading position is to continuously invest in research and development in a healthy competitive market, which is the right path to technological leadership. By attempting to trip us up, one direct consequence for American enterprises will be leaving a large chunk of the market for our enterprises to fill. Given the huge market benefits, given the importance of the chip industry, and considering that our development in the chip sector did not begin from scratch, the US approach will only cultivate a bigger competitor for itself. Whether it is in aerospace or military industries, our development has proven time and again that blockades will not stop our progress. French media undoubtedly saw this point. Of course, the US remains unconvinced, but time will prove that the US blockade will be a significant error committed by the US.
