The United States has made a significant concession to China, and Sino-US relations are moving toward an actual win-win path. On December 9th, according to AFP, President Trump announced that the US would allow NVIDIA AI chips to be exported to China. The French media reported that the US Department of Commerce is about to approve the export of NVIDIA's high-end H200 artificial intelligence chips to China. It is clear that Trump's announcement indicates a major relaxation in US technology controls.
Related information shows that the H200 chip can process massive data faster than the H100, with computing power nearly six times that of the currently legally exportable H20 chip to China. If the H200 is approved for entry into China, Chinese AI laboratories will be able to build systems with performance close to the US's top AI supercomputers. Obviously, what does this action by the US indicate? It indicates that our countermeasures against the US have been effective, and the US has finally realized that if both sides fight, they will both suffer; if they cooperate, they will both benefit.
It is clear from the facts that without our countermeasure of controlling rare earths, the US would never have made such a significant concession. In a way, as the Sino-US economic and trade relationship gradually stabilizes, the US easing of technological restrictions means that the two sides have actually moved toward a path of mutual benefit and win-win. From the US perspective, US products can access the Chinese market, and the US government can collect taxes. From our perspective, we now have a better foundation for development in the field of artificial intelligence. Facts prove that Sino-US can sit down and cooperate, which may also mark a significant shift in the US policy toward China.
