To say that the United States is the most rogue and scoundrel country, I believe everyone has no doubts, right? Relying on its leading position in science and technology, Lao Mei continues to put pressure on countries around the world, and will not hesitate to change the rules once it affects its own interests.
Take Huawei as an example, after successfully surpassing US companies in the field of 5G, it was subject to endless sanctions from the old United States, which eventually led to the inability to produce Huawei's Kirin chips, and the mobile phone business also faced a stage of stagnation, which also made Qualcomm and Apple the biggest beneficiaries.
In addition to restricting the development of Chinese enterprises in the mainland, Lao Mei also wants to attack the mainland military, and the US think tank recently published a report "Restricting the Chinese Military from Obtaining AI Chips", which repeatedly mentioned that NVIDIA GPU exports to China.
As we all know, artificial intelligence is a collection of big data and training algorithms, and these require ultra-high computing power GPU chips as support, and the best GPU chip is NVIDIA A100 high-end chip, such as Baidu, Ali and other large manufacturers are using NVIDIA A100 chip, if the old United States cuts off this shipping channel, the impact on the mainland is quite large.
But it is worth mentioning that as early as August 2022, the old United States banned NVIDIA from exporting chips to the mainland, but under NVIDIA's lobbying, it finally postponed the date to March 1, 2023.
Now with the ban in effect, NVIDIA's new generation of A100 chips has been banned from shipments to Chinese companies, but for the Chinese market, NVIDIA still launched a special version of the A800 chip, slightly weaker than A100, but in line with the ban requirements, can supply to Chinese companies.
In the face of the unreasonable sanctions of the old United States, the mainland has no way, in terms of domestic chip companies such as Cambrian and Loongson Zhongke, the performance of their products is only the level of NVIDIA five years ago, and the gap can be said to be very large.
Therefore, the top priority is to solve the technical blockade in this field, and there is good news recently, the relevant departments of the mainland have stated that they will increase investment in key areas such as integrated circuits and industrial mother machines in the future.
In addition, according to foreign media reports, the mainland is developing a chip subsidy plan of up to trillions, which can promote the development of the mainland's semiconductor industry and solve the problem of brain drain.
And the mainland is also countering the old United States in the fields of rare earths and solar cells, you must know that the mainland is ahead of the world in these two aspects, which is enough to have a huge impact on the old United States.
When Lao Mei continues to suppress various fields on the mainland, we cannot endure it for a long time, otherwise it will only make people think that we are bullies, as the great man said, peace is fought, only if it hurts, they will not bully us.
