Although the release of Huawei Mate 60 has brought new changes to the global technology market, at the same time, the technology competition in the United States and the Middle East has become more and more fierce. The Biden team is surprised and angry that Middle Eastern countries are using Huawei's Kirin chips, and they believe that China cannot make such advanced chips. As a result, they began to accuse Middle Eastern countries of reselling American technology and chips to China.
In response to this situation, the Biden team acted quickly and asked the American chip giants Nvidia and AMD to limit the export of high-end chips to Middle Eastern countries, especially artificial intelligence chips. This seems to be aimed at Middle Eastern countries, but in essence it is a blow to China. The Biden team has serious suspicions that Middle Eastern countries are reselling the chips and technology they buy to China.
Recently, the United States has put pressure on Saudi Arabia to stop investing in openai, an artificial intelligence company in the United States, and take relevant shares. OpenAI launched the much-anticipated ChatGPT this year. Saudi Arabia will face an important choice: whether to succumb to US pressure or use it as a reason to tear up the petrodollar deal.
"Petrodollar" refers to the Middle Eastern oil-producing countries converting oil in US dollars** and exchanging the proceeds into US dollars. These dollars are then spent in the market, usually by buying U.S. bonds or investing in other U.S. assets. This practice protects the position of the dollar to a certain extent and benefits the United States. Today, however, the deepening contradictions between the United States and Saudi Arabia could adversely affect the economic interests of the United States in the Middle East and the Gulf region.
Saudi Arabia has declared that if the United States continues to exert pressure, Middle Eastern countries may terminate the petrodollar agreement and ** oil in other currencies in certain special markets. This will be a major challenge to the United States, as oil has always been the main economic pillar of the Middle Eastern countries. If they decide to get rid of dependence on the dollar, the United States will face a serious loss of economic benefits.
Whether pursuing oil hegemony or chip hegemony, the United States seems to be falling more and more into the trap it has set itself. On the one hand, they try to maintain their technological and economic superiority by controlling technology and chip circulation. On the other hand, they are also constantly weakening their position on the international stage, triggering discontent and opposition on a global scale.
The pursuit of hegemony by the United States can be seen as a selfish act that, while ostensibly beneficial to itself, will ultimately lead to its own disconnection from the world. In the face of the current situation, the United States needs to seriously consider its own choices and behaviors, so as not to push itself to a dead end.
The world is moving towards a more pluralistic and open direction, and cooperation and interdependence among countries have never been more important. In the field of science and technology, exchanges and cooperation between different countries will bring more opportunities for innovation and development.
In the current chip dispute between the Middle East and the United States, all parties need to remain calm and rational to resolve differences through dialogue and cooperation. Through an open and mutually beneficial approach, prosperity and common progress in the field of science and technology can be promoted.
Finally, as a self-editor, my job is to provide information and inspire the reader's thoughts. In this era of rapid change, we should pay more attention to cooperation and win-win results to promote the development and progress of the world. At the same time, as individuals, we should also take caution not to forget the impact of our choices and actions on the world. It is only by working together that we can achieve a more peaceful, prosperous and sustainable future.
