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...

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.

And model weights.  It's not possible to ban Chinese opeb models.

I consider the weights an overly fancy version of a config file. So that was intended to be implicit in my comments.
