Rare internal conflict, Amazon and Microsoft want to sabotage NVIDIA's chip sales plan to China!

On November 15, U.S. media reported: "Amazon and Microsoft support the 'Securing Artificial Intelligence Access and Innovation Act' being reviewed by Congress. The bill aims to restrict advanced AI chip exports from companies like NVIDIA to China through export controls and priority supply mechanisms, while giving U.S. domestic tech giants priority access to chips. It also includes provisions for certain regions to be exempt from chip transshipment, which has caused a rare disagreement between NVIDIA and its two major clients. NVIDIA controls about 80% of the global AI processor market. To protect the Chinese market, it has spent heavily lobbying this year. Huang Renxun has repeatedly stated his hope to sell chips to China. The bill may be included in the Defense Authorization Act and is expected to be signed into law by the end of the year. Some White House officials and semiconductor companies have expressed opposition."

[Witty] The infighting under chip hegemony is just a reflection of the ugly truth of American-style competition. Amazon and Microsoft joining forces to strangle NVIDIA's chip sales to China, this rare internal conflict has torn off the curtain of American technological hegemony. The so-called safeguarding national security is just an excuse; the essence is that the giants are engaging in selfish games to secure priority access to chips at the expense of industry partners' interests. NVIDIA spent $3.5 million on lobbying to protect the Chinese market, and Huang Renxun's statements behind them reflect commercial rationality. However, the infighting among U.S. companies is an inevitable consequence of the politicization of U.S. technology policy. By using legislative means to suppress corporate autonomy, it will only lead to internal consumption within the U.S. tech ecosystem, binding its hands in the global AI competition!
