Now, largely the reason the Chinese are not taking the H 200 chip at this point is because before the summit even took place in May, China had a pretty solid backdoor access to them and may only be needing enough for AI infrastructure and possible reverse engineering.

Which

to be honest, is a lot more difficult than simply getting the chips.

It's it's something that the Chinese do find difficult in building those really small four or three nanometer, even now we have the the two nanometer chips that are going into the newer high-end iPhones.

But as of right now, the United States only has a 24 to 36 month window before China develops an AI industry that is

Much less limited by access to computing power, which is why the US views semiconductor controls as more than just a trade issue.

It's a national security issue.

And so we're not allowing the sensitive algorithms and these high end chips to be traded with China.

Now, the other reason is this same computing power can also support intelligence collections, cyber operations, and military systems.

And speaking of AI, some experts believe that the issue of AI safety may come up, although Donald Trump seems keen on allowing unfettered growth in the AI space here in the US.

Where in fact it is actually the Chinese that are taking a more cautious approach.

Nonetheless, China and the United States are the two biggest AI powers in the world, and both governments have talked about creating an AI dialogue.

The problem is that both countries are struggling to even agree on what that conversation should be about.

Washington wants to discuss Chinese use of American models, intellectual property theft and other practices that the the US considers improper.

Beijing wants broader discussions about developing stronger AI models, access to higher end ships and the safety of those models themselves.

Back in May, both sides agreed that they wanted an AI safety dialogue, but they haven't done anything in that space whatsoever.

China recognizes the ongoing debate that is becoming more intense within the United States where this unrestricted access is potentially considered dangerous.

As major AI executives, including Sam Altman and Dario Amoti, have recently pushed for more safety testing and stronger controls on the most advanced AI models.

Now, like I said, Trump thinks he's smarter than these guys and has rejected those calls for major AI slowdowns because he argues that slowing the United States could allow China to catch up.

But in reality, the reason he doesn't want to slow down is because the AI boom is driving the only economic growth Trump would potentially see right now.
