In the past few days, the U.S. Congress has gathered almost all the prominent leaders of high-tech companies in the United States in Washington to hold a hearing.
The theme is simple and clear: the hearing's topic is 'How to Win the AI Competition Between China and the U.S.'.
At the meeting, AMD's CEO Lisa Su mentioned an interesting point: if the U.S. restricts the sale of AI chips, China will quickly develop its own alternatives.
She cited Huawei as an example—previously, NVIDIA's AI chips were restricted from being exported to China, and as a result, Huawei directly mass-produced its own Ascend series, which even domestic major manufacturers are eager to use.
To put it bluntly, the more technology is blocked, the more it stimulates people to break through on their own. Back when 5G was being contained, Huawei still managed to capture 70% of the global base station market.
Now, U.S. companies are also anxious, fearing that restrictive measures will instead help China hone its 'internal skills', ultimately losing their own territory.
This competition really forces people to stay alert every moment.
