Are you assuming that China is/will allow it's own citizens unfettered access to AI ?!

    China is a much more collectivist culture. They’re willing to burn money and move in big strides IF it can get them (the country) to their goals. That’s why we consistently see that china is able to move much faster in new industries as opposed to the US.

    There’s a lot of individual actors in china, just like the US, but as a whole they take a “country” approach.

    Currently they are the ones who are publishing stuff in the open. The American discourse is to close this market.

    I'm not Chinese or American. If China exports their AI technology and the US doesn't, I know who's going to be my supplier and I'd be very happy to pay them.

    If they block access to their own citizens, to be frank, I could care less.

    If their Party has their own version for what happened in the Tiananmen Square, so be it. They want to do business while the US is being hostile to everybody else.
