Ron Patel
Summary
US export controls on advanced AI chips have backfired, causing Nvidia's share of China's AI accelerator market to collapse from 95% to effectively zero. Chinese hyperscalers, including Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu, have pivoted to Huawei's Ascend chips and domestic alternatives. By the time Washington considered reversing course, the Chinese market had already moved on, permanently reshaping the competitive landscape and potentially strengthening China's domestic semiconductor industry.
