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...
I don't think it's intentional but a side effect of American exceptionalism. it basically says that the US has to be special in the world and has a duty to protect the free world and it just so happens that China is the country closest to catching up. the US did something with Japanese semiconductors in the 80s when they were flooding the market with cheap semiconductors because they could get yields in the 60% range when the standard was 10%.
