China is not fighting the AI war over using the best high-end chips. China is building AI using a different architecture that relies less on chip power but on maximizing quantity over quality. China can make all the mid-range and legacy chips. Not that Chinese companies like Huawei and SMIC are incapable of advancing their chip technology despite the sanctions. It is only a question of time.
Even Jensen Huang said that the future of AI is not constrained by high-end chips, but on one thing that China has over the USA - cheap energy. This is one fundamental issue that the USA is finding it difficult to overcome, even when building all the massive data centers. The USA may have oil in abundance, but without the power generation logistics, it is the proverbial 'Sword of Damocles' hanging over the heads of data centers and AI centers.
But let us wait and see how the fantasy can overcome the reality in the technology war. The waiting may not be long you can be sure. Putting the cart before the horse does not augurs well, no matter how well intended the idea.

There was a report that the US is paying up to $5000/anti-China AI video. The new propaganda is suppose to badmouth China AI. So be prepare to see a floor of AI produced video that will showcase China stealing US technology. As well as articles from msm about how bad China AI will be.
No surprise at all. Money is not a problem. Just print only. Hope the good old days continue.
Those propagandas are no longer working as before. Foreign visitors have reported on the real China, experience the real China and understand the real China, instead of the doom and gloom about China. The USA can fool most people most of the time, some people most of the time but not all people all the time.
Chinese robot manufacturers target adoption by its Chinese factories. Elon Musk targets selling robots to households, for serving tea, mopping the floor and making the bed. Two different paths for adoption just like AI in USA and in China.
If I do not understand wrongly, USA AI developers are thinking of making a pile collecting monthly fees from those wanting to adopt their systems, while Chinese AI developers are looking at mass adoption of its open-source system enabling users to tinker and to improve on it. USA developers have poured in hundreds of billions to develop their system and wants to claw back all the money poured in. Chinese developers on the other hand are developing AI systems on the cheap, but not highly inferior to USA developers. The final outcome will determine who is going to win the AI war.
Is China, with its untouchable position in global filing of patents of new inventions, really is stealing USA technology as we are led to believe? If the USA has, let us assume, filed 10,000 patents, and China has 15,000 patents, how is it possible for China to steal an extra 5,000 patents from the USA that it still does not own?
