Imagine inventing the future of AI hardware only to have your own government take a quarter of your China sales as part of policy. That’s exactly what’s happening with the U.S. decision to let Nvidia export its H200 AI chips to China with a 25% revenue share flowing back to Washington. 😳 The move was pitched as a way to balance economic engagement with strategic control, but many experts and security hands are baffled, calling the cut essentially an export tax that “makes no sense” given China’s AI ambitions. The critics warn this could erode U.S. leverage in the AI race by giving China broader access to powerful computing while letting Beijing tap into American tech ecosystems without paying full strategic cost. Even bipartisan lawmakers have pressed Nvidia’s CEO to testify on how this deal came together and what it means for national security.

TL;DR
🧠 policy turns chip exports into a revenue play
⚡ experts question strategic logic
🎓 national security & market leadership on the line
🔍 Congress is watching closely

US taking 25% cut of Nvidia chip sales “makes no sense,” experts say

Trump’s odd Nvidia reversal may open the door for China to demand Blackwell access.

The White House opposes the GAIN AI Act, which would restrict AI chip exports to China and prioritize U.S. buyers. Nvidia welcomes the decision, citing risks to U.S. tech leadership and market freedom, while China speeds up its domestic semiconductor push. The debate underscores the global stakes in AI and geopolitical competition.

Paul Krugman questions why the United States is lagging in renewable energy adoption, especially given China's lead in solar farms and Europe's progressive strides. While China and Europe surge ahead with clean technology, America's progress stalled under the Trump administration due to various political and economic factors. Delve into the complex reasons behind this disparity and discover the path forward: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-domestic-politics-and-geopolitics #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #USChinaTech.

Trump has ceded world leadership to China. But will China do enough?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang slams US chip export bans to China as flawed policy, arguing they've backfired on US tech & fueled China's homegrown alternatives. Time for a rethink? #USChinaTech #Semiconductors #Nvidia

If the USA wanted me to buy their products, then they should sell them in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). So far, it seems that only Chinese companies have done this for the Malaysian market. There are even many flagship phones priced at RM1000++ instead of iPhones priced at RM5000++. What Chinese companies offer us is better because of competitive specifications as well as competitive prices, and more control due to the Android OS, rather than iOS by default, which I don't trust Apple to handle my data. Chinese companies have addressed the issues of affordability and accessibility to technology for Malaysians, while the USA only sells products that we use to show off or appear superior to others. Is the USA trying to force us to buy their products? This seems like modern authoritarianism to me.
