I'll never understand American politicians. Sure blah blah blah the Chinese are the devil, but its not like this actually stops anyone from selling to them. Nvidia will just make a quadro D and sell that instead.
Not only that, but the so called "free market" capitalistic ideals that both establishment Republicans & Democrats defend on behalf of their corporate overlords, has made it so other countries are now surpassing us in almost every way. Rather than adapt, the US is like naw we'll just buy everyone off or kill them.
That's because the US is a corporate dictatorship masquerading as a "democracy".
They really think AI chips are a breakthrough. It's Fking FPGAs, empty lookup tables, they don't know what to put in there, and we train ML on GPUs... Also China knows how to make those, they also can do their own CPUs and GPUs, they don't need US for that.
The main thing they can't do is 4nm fab. That's what the US is trying to prevent.
I guess they hate money
I don't know how China can hope to match the US in global power and influence if they don't have access to the most generic anime softcore porn you've ever seen
It's absolutely hilarious how we now have Raimondo openly admitting that trying to hold back China technologically is a fool's errand, and yet there's no change in policy. This is the definition of idiocy.

Everybody already has access to ELIZA-level tech.
"Unlike Communist China, the US believes in free market capitalism and that the market will regulate itself, the US would especially never threaten other governments to tow the party line unlike those communists."
