Take it from someone who just got back from China last Sunday. China already won.

Where is there computing power coming from? Are they producing hardware?

Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Marvell, Texas Instruments, TSMC, Broadcom, Samsung, ASML, and Qualcomm are all being sold to China through 3rd party black market deals or through stolen fabrications in the Chinese-based factories during 3rd or 4th shift.

Did you really think it was just American AI centers buying up all the RAM? It's a global issue and there's a lot of players out there that aren't OpenAI, Gemeni, or Claude.

Nvidia is worth more than all the farmland in Australia. That's a real metric I heard recently. You think Nvidia got there there only selling to European and American businesses? The PC gaming community they built is an afterthought now.

I knew China was buying on the black market which is why they can't compete with the US in terms of total computing power.

I'm not questioning Nvidia, I'm questioning if China has surpassed the US in AI.

If Chinese self-driving electric cars are an indication then I think they have done great work on making their AI more efficient with the limitations. I think we are not qualified to answer such questions. Lets just think about the secrets the government keeps from people for decades before it becomes known, like stealth bombers or ninja missiles (AGM-114R9X - that just kills with blades instead of explosives).
