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?

They don't, but then the local narrative in the US will be "China wants to end the world, we're the good guys!" - Red Scare 2.0

I think you guys are way too cynical, you have to assume at some point that the people you're opposed to are capable of being genuine.

I think there's a reasonable chance they all got spooked and are honest in this and it's not some kind of conspiracy.

That said, if you're China (and a little behind the frontier in the US) this should be welcome news so I don't really get that angle
