Panelists also discussed international expansion. Wang said sustained investment and market scale are critical to global competitiveness, with differentiated technologies forming the foundation of that. Li acknowledged that geopolitical constraints persist but said companies can reach overseas customers by delivering value, with domestic competition increasingly pushing firms toward export markets.
The panelists were all in agreement that AI will continue to drive capital expenditure growth, with sustained investment and AI-driven manufacturing upgrades essential to maintaining competitiveness.

I don't think being 5-10 years behind on hardware manufacturing is such a big deal when they are legally buying some newer accelerators under slapdash policies, smuggling better chips in, converting 4090s into 4090 48GBs, etc. What they are managing to make isn't terrible: Huawei unveils new Atlas 350 AI accelerator with 1.56 PFLOPS of FP4 compute and up to 112GB of HBM — claims 2.8x more performance than Nvidia's H20 That leaves the software side, where optimizations can make less into more (e.g. TurboQuant). And you can also "steal" your competitor's model via distillation and get away with it. So they aren't too far behind, are putting in a lot of money, and have a lot of people looking for breakthroughs. Reply
Stomx It does not matter and not a real problem that China couple or 5 or even 10 years behind. China in one day could start a Great Depression and destroy all current AI leaders if it decide to make AI free for everyone, just pay for their cheap electricity. Reply
