TLDR:
Experts suggest that U.S. trade restrictions on advanced chips are slowing China’s AI development, potentially widening the gap between the two countries. Despite strong demand for Nvidia’s H20 chip, trade restrictions are hindering China’s improvement of large language models. Chinese companies are turning to Huawei’s Ascend chip as a long-term solution, but capacity for advanced processing may pose a challenge. While the U.S. has cut federal research and development, China has increased its efforts. Demand for computing power is expected to grow, impacting China’s competitiveness in the AI industry.
