> The agency's Bureau of Industry and Security said in a statement Tuesday that it's also planning to warn the public about "the potential consequences of allowing US AI chips to be used for training and inference of Chinese AI models."
The A.I. war is intense, and you can clearly see who is s** their pants here.
This is just beyond stupid. Sanctions as in "not letting them use our advantage" might make some sense, but "not letting us use their advantage" is just another level of retardity.
Yes because Huawei uses US technology. Huawei can’t be competitive without US and EU technology (ASML, Tokyo Electron, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA, Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor, etc)
Here's a thought exercise: If EU and US are the inventors of silicone tech at the basis of all products, why are they struggling to beat China in the free and open AI market and need to resort to kneecapping it?
Like, if you're so good at something why are you scared of the unproven newcomer beating you?
The issue is not fear but strategic control. The United States and European Union form the backbone of the global semiconductor ecosystem, from design software like Cadence and Synopsys to manufacturing tools from ASML and Applied Materials. Huawei’s chips depend on this infrastructure. When entities use US-origin technology to build AI hardware, they fall under export control regardless of where the chips are used. This is not about competing in a fair market but about controlling the development and use of advanced computing in areas like defense, surveillance, and critical infrastructure.
Not scared - aware. Strategic assets like compute and semiconductor capability shape global influence. Controlling those assets is about ensuring they are not used to undermine national security interests. That is not fear. It is policy rooted in leverage and long-term risk assessment.
