Trump made it clear.
On November 2, a CBS host asked Trump: "Will you allow NVIDIA to sell their most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China?" Trump said: "No. We won't agree. But... we will let them make deals with NVIDIA. Except for the United States, we won't let any other country obtain these chips."
This statement openly revealed the U.S. hegemonic calculations and contradictory mentality. The U.S. is well aware that high-end AI chips are the core of technological competition, and is very afraid of China catching up, so it uses all means to block and suppress, prohibiting the export of high-end chips to China. However, it is reluctant to give up the huge Chinese market, worrying that American companies like NVIDIA would lose shares and suffer losses, so it wants to keep the market by selling low-end chips, trying to achieve the dual goals of "containing China" and "protecting interests."
However, China's position is firm, and it does not accept this hegemonic coercion. NVIDIA's market in China has almost gone to zero. The U.S. greedy calculations of "extreme suppression" while "wanting everything" are essentially driven by a hegemonic mindset. This behavior, which both wants to hinder China's development and to take advantage of the Chinese market, will ultimately fail and cannot stop China's independent technological progress.
