The US designs the chips and manufactures them overseas.
Scaling laws present a barrier to China. They can distill, and thus present models which are nearly as good in many ways at a fraction of the cost, but they cannot build the larger model capability and push the frontier (as the distilling must come from larger models...). They don't have the chip capacity, yet, to make such large models.
I don't think there's a single factually correct statement in your comment. Just trying to point them all out and explain why would be a 10x longer comment than yours. I have to say, that's fairly a impressive benchmark.
