US blocks sales of some AI chips to China as tech crackdown intensifies
GuardianAPR 3 2022
America's desperate attempts to maintain its hegemony by controlling science, technology, and trade will harm not only China but the entire global industry. Eventually, this blockade will fail as the Chinese chip sector has been steadily developing to catch up with advanced countries.
Though American firms may be affected by these restrictions, the US government is protecting national security. The US can't rely on China to be a responsible actor, and Washington must take action to prevent Beijing from diverting US technology to military end-use.
