The question of how they affect restrictions inflicted on UNITED STATES in the export of advanced technologies to the second largest economic power in the world is nothing new, and almost every day we learn new details about all the sanctions and obstacles that the United States applies China. In an interview with the current CEO of Intelthis indicates that the only way he China The way out of this situation is for them to start producing their own fleas.
There are many reasons why sanctions can be applied to the export of certain products, but in the case of those established by the United States against China, they are mainly based on distrust and diplomatic relations that we do not cannot be considered good. From the North American country they want to avoid exporting advanced technologies such as AI due to the uses they could have at the military level, while from China are trying to prepare their own technologies to face the punishments of UNITED STATES.
US obstacles to chip exports take a toll on China
As we well know, one of the greatest technologies that currently exists is artificial intelligence, has succeeded in a short time in causing what they call a technological revolution by making it possible to achieve in a few seconds things that would normally take a long time. This has led the great powers of the world to attempt to nationalize all the means that produce this type of technology, mainly to “prevent” them from having negative uses, but in reality, it is so that rival powers cannot use them.
This is the case, for example, of UNITED STATESwhich managed to limit exports of cutting-edge products that could be linked to AI towards countries with which it currently maintains great rivalry, as is the case of China. This has led the Asian giant to have to take certain measures so as not to fall too far behind, as we know well, China has tried to create factories to be able to begin the production of chips with similar performance to those of American companies. .
The path is quite long to create technologies of this type, but at the beginning they harm more the American companies themselves by not being able to sell their products, as the CEO of Intel indicates: “restrictions on the products sold by the Americans in China are restricting the revenue that chipmakers can extract from the country, which can harm, but also accelerate the Chinese ecosystem, not only in chipmaking, but also in manufacturing products specifically around AI.”
From Intel they indicate a more than obvious solution, China should manufacture its own chips
One of the messages that the CEO of Intel wanted to send during the interview was the fact that China really has a pretty big opportunity both technologically and economically, which involves developing its own technologies as well. at the level of AI than chips. Obviously, as we have indicated, this is something really complicated, and even more so if we take into account that the American restrictions do not only affect the chips but also all the machines used to create them .
And the North American country has managed to apply sanctions to any export to China from virtually every Western country that has a trade agreement with it, that is, all of Europe. This means that, for example, ASML, a leading Dutch company (because it is the only one offering it) in the development of EUV lithographic machines, cannot export its products to China, thus preventing the manufacturing of similar processes in China . from Eastern countries to those of Western countries.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the fact that the United States is trying to prevent China from developing technologies similar to what can be found in big companies like NVIDIA, because the power they offer can literally change the world, and this obviously will not benefit North America in any way, knowing that they have long feared that China would become the greatest economic power in the world, taking away first place.
