The New York Times Chinese website published an article today (December 18) stating: "President Trump announced last week that he would allow China to purchase the advanced artificial intelligence chip H200 from the U.S. company NVIDIA. He made a wrong decision earlier this year to sell another advanced chip, the H20, to China, and now he has made things worse again. The performance of the H200 is expected to be six times that of the H20, providing greater momentum for China's military and artificial intelligence development."
Commentary: These so-called hardliners on China are always stuck in Cold War thinking. They must have taken too much medicine. They can't handle the economy, and their diplomacy is a complete disaster. They always come up with harmful and self-serving strategies, constantly misleading their allies, exploiting and draining others' national strength.
Now these people treat NVIDIA as a treasure, saying it will be used in the military. Can chips with backdoors be used in the military and AI development? It's absurd to the point of being laughable!
NVIDIA has embedded tracking programs in its chips. Once connected to the internet, it immediately knows the chip's location data. To find out where the data centers are, you just need to type a few keys to check where the chips are concentrated, and the data centers will be exposed. Who would dare to use them?
Trump's move to loosen the restrictions on the H200 at this time is to block Huawei's new card market. The means are quite toxic.
Reliance on mountains will lead to their collapse. For strategic core industries, they must be held in our own hands. Huawei's Ascend 920 is not much worse than the H200. After one or two iterations, it can surpass the H200. Isn't it safer than NVIDIA?
Unsafe, cut-down chips, whoever wants them can take them, no need to send them off.
