US AI Supply Chain Initiatives Will Fail, Says Chinese Academic
Zheng Yongnian from Hong Kong argued that US artificial intelligence and supply chain moves will fail and called for cooperation.
Professor Zheng Yongnian from the Chinese University of Hong Kong stated that the United States' efforts to secure the artificial intelligence supply chain and restrict Chinese models are doomed to failure and amount to self-harm.
Supply Chain and Alliances
US international initiatives such as Pax Silica and the chip alliance target third parties, and these efforts are doomed to fail. Such moves were deployed by the Washington administration amid escalating technological competition between the two countries.
Market Differences and Commercial Realities
While American tech firms favor a costly and closed-source approach, China offers more cost-effective open-source models. Efforts to block the use of Chinese technology ignore commercial reality.
Economic Risks and Call for Cooperation
It was stated that the US AI-driven growth model harbors systemic risks and that this situation could destabilize the global economy. It was emphasized that instead of zero-sum competition, the two countries should cooperate for economic growth in developing regions.
