The United States escalated its crackdown on Chinese chips to spread to the AIPC field

Although globalization has created an interdependent and intertwined economic web, the political dimension of international relations is still evident in this intertwined web. Recently, the United States once again upgraded the suppression of China's chip industry, this time the focus extended to the AI-PC field, once again triggered global discussion and attention.

The US government on Friday revised its export control rules to further restrict China's access to US AI chips and chip-making equipment on national security grounds. The new rules make it clear that export controls on AI chips for China will apply to laptops containing these chips. The new rules are expected to take effect on April 4 of this year.

The decision is seen as a further tightening of the US administration's policy towards China. In October 2022, the Biden administration issued a broad chip export control policy against China and persuaded the Netherlands and Japan to adopt similar measures. A year later, the Biden administration issued new regulations to more strictly restrict exports of high-performance AI chips to China. This pan-security approach of the US government has aroused doubts from all sides.

The further control policy of the United States on AI chip exports has been interpreted as a gradual expansion of chip restrictions on China to more consumer electronics fields. The move undoubtedly proves the US government's unilateralist stance on technological development. The crackdown on Chinese AI chips is actually an opposition to globalization.

Technological competition should be based on each other's research and development capabilities, rather than relying on gratuitous political means to stifle other countries' development, which is also a clear hegemonic approach.

The United States has been implementing a technology blockade on China, and such a high-pressure approach will inevitably have a major impact on China and even the global AI chip industry. Because China is the world's largest computer terminal market and is important to U.S. chip companies such as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, the Biden administration's move would also hurt its own companies.

This repression has not only hurt China, but also affected the direction of global science and technology development. In today's globalization, the development of technology needs the joint promotion of global researchers, and the exclusive blockade will hinder the development of global science and technology and harm the interests of global users.

It can be predicted that at the beginning of the implementation of relevant policies, China's AI chip industry may face some difficulties, such as new export controls may weaken the momentum of the industry, after all, key technologies and equipment often originated in the United States. However, this pressure may prompt China's AI chip industry to accelerate independent research and development, thereby reducing dependence on external. Although this is undoubtedly a difficult task, history has proved that in the face of pressure, the innovative spirit of the Chinese people will be able to open up unprecedented possibilities.

Taken together, the new regulations in the United States have added great obstacles and unfair treatment to China's AI chip industry. In the short term, this will undoubtedly cause some problems for China, but in the long term, it has the potential to accelerate the development and industrialization of Chinese indigenous technologies and promote a more equitable and healthy competitive environment within the industry.

Today, more and more people realize that technology should be used by human beings, not used as a pawn in political maneuvering. The international community urgently needs an atmosphere of justice and reason, free from prejudice and discrimination of any kind.
