Enter the tug-of-war!After being banned by the United States from AI investment, Saudi Arabia made a big fuss about "oil"!
"Chip rules" is a restriction imposed by the Biden team on Chinese semiconductors, and unexpectedly it was originally a competition between China and the United States in science and technology, but now a series of chain reactions are gradually deepening, as long as it involves "chips" countries have not been spared, and various countries have been "involved" in.
After Google and Qualcomm cut off supply, Huawei's overseas mobile phone business was forced to be suspended, and the entire ** chain underwent great changes.
However, the United States did not give up the stumbling block in the whole process, after TSMC was forced to cut off the supply to Huawei, HiSilicon Semiconductor also temporarily lost its revenue capacity, and Kirin chips could only temporarily face the suspension of production, but Ren Zhengfei was not discouraged, but officially announced that he would provide no less than 20% of the total revenue of R&D funds every year.
The results of years of hard work are all reflected in the mate 60,"First sale" reflects Huawei's self-confidence,Being coaxed by the market represents Huawei's strength,Hongmeng4.The 0+ Kirin 9000s chip has created a mythical "domestic quality", and it has the strength to compete with Apple.
After the birth of the high-end Kirin 9000s chip, the Biden team from the beginning of the doubt to the final despair, confirmed by the US media, at least the 7nm process technology, and it is completely from the domestic production, even after searching all the lithography machine data, but failed to find the "clues" of who made the foundry.
Even so, the old Biden still does not believe that China can independently manufacture 7nm chips, and then began to search for various "possibilities", this time it is not the Chinese companies that are guilty, and a ban has also descended on Middle Eastern countries, which can be said to be "lying down and getting shot".
The Biden team decided that the Middle East resold the technology to China, and this group of "Saudi princes" was not easy to mess with, so they directly poked the "basket" big and shouted at the United States: "We will consider terminating the petrodollar agreement!."”
After seeing China's breakthrough, the Biden team immediately began to fight back, and soon officially announced restrictions on Nvidia and AMD's AI chips, and in this control list, the United States also restricted the import of high-end artificial intelligence chips from Middle Eastern countries.
It seems to be hitting Middle Eastern countries, but in fact it is aimed at Chinese companies, and the reason why the restrictions on the Middle East were launched at the same time is that the Biden team suspects that the chip technology is being resold, and in order to curb all possibilities, the United States directly forced Saudi Arabia to withdraw from AI investment in the United States.
According to the news, the Biden team is forcing Saudi Aramco's Prosperity7 to withdraw from its stake in RAIN, an AI algorithm company backed by OpenAI co-founder Altman, to which Saudi Arabia invested $25 million in 2022 and became a major investor.
In response to this review action, the Biden team is still in the name of "**", which is also announcing the concept of "only allies can get support", but these "princes" of Saudi Arabia are not easy to mess with, and they chose to "be tough to the end" without much consideration!
Since the United States is ruthless, Saudi Arabia naturally no longer gives face, and directly announced: "If the United States continues to suppress, then it is possible to terminate the "petrodollar agreement", and currencies other than the dollar will be used in specific markets!”
On the one hand, there is "chip hegemony", on the other hand, and "petrodollars", obviously both sides are difficult to choose, and now Saudi Arabia's cooperation is biased towards the Chinese market, and the so-called "ally" relationship between the United States has long existed in name only.
The United States has always adopted a "semi-plundering" approach on energy issues, and once other countries do not cooperate, the follow-up "hole" will naturally get bigger and bigger
