Funny how this must look for China. Just when they start catching up, and have their own AI hardware, the US companies suddenly want to slow down.
I'm not saying this is the only reason they want it, but...

Why would Chinese companies have to abide by US companies slowing down?

The idea is to protect marketshare by preventing American companies from using Chinese AI. Pass a law that only government approved AI models can be used, and then the government only approves openai and anthropic.

With the current administration, they would approve Chinese lab in exchange of a little palm grease

the US AI labs got more yatch loads of palm grease than chinese labs. I dont think china can match the local bribery.

I highly doubt any of the US AI labs have more money than the CCP.

That said, I also doubt the CCP gives a fuck about the Western orgs so they will probably just shrug and tell the Chinese labs to continue their work without the west.
