Biden suddenly announced a complete supply cut off for cloud services, and the timing of foreign media is urgent
As the core of today's information technology, cloud computing services have become the focus of global competition, and China, as one of the world's largest Internet user markets, has a growing demand for cloud computing and related high-tech industries.
This may be based on what China has taken before"A tooth for a tooth"and now Biden has suddenly announced that he will take a full-fledged approach"Retaliation"means, cut off cloud computing servicesBut foreign media commented: It's too late now!So what's going on?
With the continuous progress of scientific and technological development, China has broad prospects in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, and even proposed in order to accelerate the research and development of artificial intelligence"Internet+"The strategy aims to promote the integration of information technology with traditional industries and accelerate digital transformation.
This trend has made cloud computing an important tool for enterprises and individuals to achieve innovation and development, and the market size is constantly expanding, attracting investment and participation from domestic and foreign enterprises.
However, not long ago, the United States announced a new deployment, and the restrictions on China's high-tech industry have brought major challenges to the Chinese market, and Pei Zhenhua asked giant companies such as Amazon and Microsoft to completely cut off cloud computing services to Chinese mainland**!
You must know that in the cloud market with a total of $545.8 billion in the global cloud service field in 2022, Amazon alone accounts for 405% of the business, while Microsoft accounted for 214%, followed by American companies, Google accounted for 61%。
Obviously, the American giants have many advantages in this area, and many Chinese companies have been authorized from Amazon's cloud computing services for many years, and if the result of cutting off the ** chain may cause some short-term losses of the ** chain.
It can be seen that this containment strategy of the Biden team has a certain effect, but in fact, the US side has forgotten the existence of a Chinese company, and that is Alibaba!
As we all know, at the beginning of the 21st century, Alibaba has set foot in cutting-edge technologies such as semiconductors and cloud computing in the information age, and through the appeal of Wang Jian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has set its sights on these fields.
Since its development, Alibaba Cloud, a subsidiary of Alibaba, has gained considerable market influence, not only becoming the No. 1 cloud computing service provider in Asia, but also occupying 25% of the global cloud computing market5% share.
The data shows that this weight can almost completely break the Biden team's measures to contain China, and even if it has an impact on Chinese companies that rely on American companies for a short period of time, it will never last long.
In addition, there may be more than one domestic cloud computing service provider, such as Alibaba and Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc. These achievements are expected to enhance China's competitiveness in the field of high-tech industries and bring more opportunities and development space to the Chinese market.
Faced with this situation, Biden chose to restrict the export of cloud computing technology from American companies, which, if continued for a long time, will not only not stop the development of China's technology, but will promote the rise of China's independent technology base.
Chinese companies that miss out on cloud services provided by U.S. companies will inevitably adopt domestic cloud technology, which will effectively promote the localization trend of cutting-edge technology demand.
For the United States itself, the policy of reducing ** is also risky. The Chinese market is one of the largest cloud computing markets in the world, and the supply disruption will deprive U.S. cloud service providers of huge business opportunities.
This means that the previous phenomenon of US giants such as NVIDIA and Intel losing revenue due to several chip failures will be repeated in these US cloud service providers!
At the end of the day, as commented by foreign media, is it time to try to achieve the goal of stopping China through cloud computing services?It's too late, let's die of this heart!
