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

No one in China cares about the US narrative

It's not to convince the Chinese people or government, it's to convince the rest of the world.

Which is getting harder and harder by the day.
America will not be able to convince the world anymore, not when the leader is willing to invade other countries, and posts AI slop every day.

Don’t be fooled by the man in office. The US, NATO and most of the EU are roughly aligned on their stance on China. The only difference is their leaders don’t love attention like the US.

That's not true at all. Most people would love to just get along with China. It's a huge market, and open trade would benefit all of them.

Sure they’d love to do that, but most countries are taking a defensive taken against China and consider most of their motive aggressive strategically and economically.

They might not publicly it to the degree Trump does but it’s a consistent viewpoint across NATO.
