Business Daily · Taking stock: China gains in the AI race · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, right now, there's no question that the US is advanced and really holds pole position, not just in terms of the actual models that they have, but also in terms of supply chain.

And they have shown that they have this key control over sort of key choke points, right?

Essentially, they can prevent access of the Chinese to certain parts of technology that is necessary for AI.

On the other hand, what you also see is that some of these constraints are not just becoming sort of bugs, but features for the Chinese model, right?

You're forcing Chinese tech entrepreneurs to figure out how to do just the same thing or something very close, but with less compute power.

And so in the long term, there is a question over whether you're not just sort of constraining China for the short term, but you're also actually forcing Chinese companies to be more innovative and actually to build key advantages where they don't rely on the same supply chain that the U.S.

currently sort of has that hand and control over.

And then there's another element, too, between the closed versus open.

There's also this question.

We just had the world's artificial intelligence conference in China.

And one part of that was this idea that all of these open models should be, for example, open to the so-called global south and developing nations.

So China is not just interested in its own AI development.

It's also interested in setting that standard, right, for what become the sort of models that are used all over the world.

And, you know, speaking to people who were at the conference, not necessarily Chinese, but the international delegates who came in, it's really interesting that most people are basically agnostic, right?

They're agnostic about the models.

They're agnostic of where the chips come from.

They're too busy kind of competing with each other to really be too worried about that kind of thing.

And in some ways, that also gives China this advantage.

I think in this part of the world, they're really, really popular.

And I think we can't sort of also discount how popular they are in other smaller markets.
