According to the reference news network, citing Taiwan's United News Network and the United States' "Wall Street**", on December 7, Huang Jenxun, founder and CEO of Nvidia, an American AI chip company, said on the 6th, "I still hope to continue to provide China's high-end chips."
Huang said that Nvidia is currently working closely with the United States** to develop AI chips that meet the new U.S. regulations and can be exported to China. In the current field of AI chips, Nvidia already has many very strong competitors, and Huawei is one of them.
It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo directly warned Nvidia by name, asking it not to ignore the so-called "United States" in order to make money
Raimondo's words came from a Dec. 2 remark at the Reagan Forum in Silmyvali, California. It should be noted that Raimondo's position is that of the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, while the Reagan Forum is of a defense nature, which is completely inconsistent and inconsistent with the status of Secretary of Commerce.
In fact, Raimondo transgressed her identity in order to ask the US Congress for money. And Raimondo's means of asking for money is to hype up the "Chinese chip threat".
Raimondo said the U.S. Commerce Department needs more funding to stop China from catching up with the U.S. in AI chips. At the moment, the US Department of Commerce has only $200 million left in the budget, and this is the money for a couple of fighter jets.
In order to get the US Congress to make money quickly, Raimondo made a lot of sensational statements. She said that the first thing China does when it wakes up every day is to find ways to bypass the U.S. chip export controls. This means that we must tighten export controls all the time, and we must also work with our allies to enforce chip controls more seriously.
Crying children have candy to eat. At the Reagan Forum, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also said that his department was short of money, and it was hundreds of times that of Raimondo.
Austin said the U.S. Department of Defense has requested an additional $50 billion in budget, which will be used on top of the U.S. defense industry. The money will create tens of thousands of jobs in more than 30 states, including vehicles in Wisconsin and Indiana, missiles in Arizona, and artillery shells in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas.
Austin's words also attracted the attention of Russia's former ** Medvedev. He commented on Austin on the social platform X, "Honest people!”
In fact, judging from the matter of getting the US Congress to pay money, the spending of the US Department of Commerce and the US Department of Defense is naturally not the same, and the US Congress may give more funds to the US Department of Defense, but the Department of Commerce may not.
From another point of view, the reason why Raimondo hyped the "Chinese chip threat" on the forum was actually not to warn the U.S. Congress, because the U.S. Department of Commerce is now a little powerless, which just shows that the United States has begun to struggle with chip containment measures against China.
In addition to warning the U.S. Congress, Raimondo spoke about U.S. business at the forum. Raimondo persuaded U.S. companies to adapt to the Commerce Department's measures. Raimondo said that in fact, she knew that her approach would make some CEO of chip companies have a problem with her, because it would make them earn less.
Soon, Raimondo began to hype up the United States*** to justify herself, saying that this is life, and protecting the United States *** is more important than short-term income.
At that time, Raimondo criticized Nvidia by name, saying that if Nvidia took some steps to redesign a chip and export it to China, then she would take action the next day.
In the face of Raimondo's threat, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang can bravely say no, he is indeed a man, worthy of being Chinese!
Zhou Mi, deputy director of the Institute of American and Oceanian Studies of the Institute of International Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said that when there is constant friction between American companies and American departments, it itself shows that the unilateral implementation of chip export controls by the United States is contrary to the essence of market laws.
Zhou Mi pointed out that the current US high-tech enterprises are actually very aware that once they lose the development and investment opportunities in China, it will cause serious harm to their current operating income and future development potential. The self-imposed restrictions imposed by the United States will hurt American companies in international competition, hinder technological progress, and ultimately lead to damage to the interests of the United States itself. Therefore, the export control plan pursued by the United States** will be blocked. #ai#
