The Wall Street Journal reported today (May 11) that Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, clearly urged the Trump administration to reconsider its chip restrictions on China. He said that NVIDIA would thereby give up a $5 billion market, and these restrictions cannot stop China's military development. Huang also stated that Huawei is "very strong" and will fill any gaps left by NVIDIA.
Comment: The essence of America's chip restrictions on China is political manipulation, aiming to curb China's development and maintain its hegemony in the high-tech field. However, from Huang's appeal, it can be seen that this practice, which goes against market rules and the trend of technological development, not only harms the interests of American companies but also fails to achieve the expected strategic goals while disrupting global technological cooperation and the stability of industrial chains and supply chains. The U.S. government should listen to the voices of enterprises, review policies, and return to the normal track of scientific and technological exchanges and commercial cooperation.
Chinese technology companies have been actively investing in R&D. Huawei's Ascend and Kunpeng chips are constantly developing, Cambricon and Bitmain are accelerating their layout in the AI chip sector, and Tianshu Zhixin occupies a certain market share in the inference chip field. America's attempt to hinder China's development through chip restrictions is unrealistic. On one hand, restrictions cannot stop China's progress in science and technology; China is not behind in the artificial intelligence field and has a large pool of scientific research talents. On the other hand, such restrictions will instead make China more determined to develop independently and accelerate the process of chip technology independence.
