Have you ever thought about it? In recent years, the United States has repeatedly targeted mainland technology companies, and ZTE, Huawei, and DJI have been targeted one after another.
To answer this question, we must start with the hegemony of the United States. As we all know, the United States has two major hegemonies: military and financial hegemony, in fact, the old United States has another - scientific and technological hegemony. Huawei has been suppressed, from the world's first sales to the current field, is subject to its technological hegemony. Why are mainland technology companies targeted? It is because of the infrastructure they have done that threatens the technological hegemony of the old United States.
Jin Yinan once said: "The United States will not clean up Tencent, will not clean up Ali, because they are applications on top of the American technology infrastructure." And Huawei is engaged in infrastructure, which is very angry in the United States! 5G is the first time we have achieved a lead in the field of science and technology, tearing a gap in the Western technology wall! ”
But now, Ali is also targeted by Lao Mei!
In July 2022, Laomei included Ali in the SEC pre-delisting list, which directly led to an 11% drop in Ali's market value and a loss of 200 billion in market value. That same year, Wall Street sued Alibaba and founder Jack Ma, who was no longer CEO.
Jin Yinan believes that the United States will not clean up Ali and Tencent, but why is the United States starting to attack Ali now? An important reason is that Lao Mei saw through Ali's "mask", saw Ali's "true face", and found that Ali has surpassed American companies in 3 fields, which may shake the foundation of Lao Mei's technological hegemony!
First, the field of scientific and technological research.
In 2017, Ali invested 100 billion yuan and established the DAMO Academy with a high profile to study the world's most advanced science and technology. Now 6 years later, DAMO Academy has achieved fruitful results, and the parameters of the M6 model it has studied have jumped from trillion to 10 trillion, and the energy consumption is only 1% of GPT-3, far exceeding Google and Microsoft. Last year, among the papers included in the EMNLP at the top international conference, 33 more papers were selected, leaving American companies Google, Microsoft, and MIT far behind, ranking No. 1.
Second, the semiconductor field.
In 2018, Ali established Pingtou Ge and officially laid out the semiconductor field. Now Pingtou Brother has become the biggest dark horse in the domestic chip camp after Huawei. After the setback of Huawei's chips, Academician Ni Guangnan pointed out that the ARM chip architecture and X86 chip architecture have been monopolized by the West, and the open source RISC-V chip architecture is the best choice for us to avoid the neck. Ali has been laying out the RISC-V architecture for a long time, and more than ten chips have been shining in succession in 4 years: Hanguang 800 is 4 times higher than the industry's best AI chip performance; Xuantie series C906 chip, won 4 global firsts in one fell swoop. In the field of RISC-V chip architecture, Alibaba has represented Chinese companies in the forefront of the world!
Third, the field of cloud computing.
In 2009, Alibaba Cloud was established, and founder Jack Ma decided to invest 1 billion yuan a year to Alibaba Cloud to do scientific research, which was Alibaba's entire profit that year. None of the people in the industry were optimistic, and they all laughed at "Ma Yun was deceived." In fact, they didn't see Ali's ambition to go IOE. "IOE" was Laomei's three technology companies, IBM, Oracle and Easymax, which existed in almost all of China's large technology companies at the time, providing basic services such as minicomputers, databases and storage devices. Ali may be worried that if these companies leave a back door, the consequences will be unimaginable!
In a word. In 2013, the "prism door" was exposed, and Lao Mei really engaged in surveillance through the backdoor left by Apple, Google, Microsoft and other technology companies! Before that, Alibaba Cloud has successfully pushed out the "IOE". After this incident, domestic technology companies woke up like a dream and began to study cloud computing. Now Alibaba Cloud is already the world's No. 3 and Asia's No. 1 cloud computing company, surpassing the old beauty Google, Microsoft, and Amazon in the global IaaS infrastructure capabilities, and won 4 firsts!
Seeing through Ali's "mask" and seeing the real strength of surpassing American companies, Lao Mei will inevitably make another black hand on Chinese technology companies! But we will not be afraid anymore, because after Huawei, our technology companies have awakened!
