The U.S. is doubling down on restrictions against Huawei's AI chips, signaling rising anxiety over China's tech ambitions. New guidance from the U.S. Department of Commerce warns global businesses that using Huawei's Ascend AI chips "anywhere in the world" could breach U.S. export rules. Analysts say the move highlights Washington's fear of losing its AI edge to Chinese innovation. 🚨
At a recent congressional hearing, U.S. tech leaders like OpenAI's Sam Altman urged faster policy reforms to keep pace with China. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, meanwhile, called the AI race "long-term and infinite," noting China is neck-and-neck with the U.S. 💡
But enforcing these rules globally won't be easy. Experts cite "diplomatic headaches" as nations resist U.S. policies that limit their own tech growth. China has slammed the moves as political tactics, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian calling them a "backfire" waiting to happen. 🇨🇳
Huawei, undeterred by sanctions since 2019, is testing its powerful Ascend 910D chip—reportedly rivaling NVIDIA' H100. Could U.S. pressure actually fuel China's tech breakthroughs? Stay tuned. 🔥
