state media
Although the headlining statement is not from a government source, China often uses state-linked social media accounts to shape its agenda and signal changes in its official stance without making a direct commitment. So, the criticism may be part of a broader campaign to steer domestic firms away from foreign AI hardware and toward homegrown alternatives like Huawei’s Ascend chips.
So if it were in the US, the story would read “Congressman X said Y on Z website”, but because it’s in big scary China, everything must be flattened into the undifferentiated hive-mind of “state media”. I fucking hate that.
They’re not wrong though, Global Times editorial is an example of CPC telling English readers what they want hear, one could argue how much commitment there is behind these sources but they are representative.
The Economist and WSJ also speaks for the capitalist class, WSP literally interfered in the election. I don’t see the big deal or embarrassment about China having their “official unofficial” media.
Think about the opposite, would you allow your state affiliated media to just talk random shit that could seriously affect the economy and foreign relations?
Yes, but anglo sources are never labeled with the “state media” thought-terminating epithet. It’s the double standard I have a problem with.
“The U.S. Congress introduced a bill to enforce location tracking of high-end gaming and AI GPUs in mid-May, with the White House mulling doing the same earlier this month.” The fuck

And yet the guys in Shenzhen can just pop off the tiny memory modules for a 48GB one in 5 minutes. It’s all so futile.
Also, most GPUs are assembled in Chinese factories with silicon from Taiwan.
US citizens should be concerned, as well.
Comes on the heels of Nvidia going to give the US 15% of it’s China profits.
15% of zero profits is zero.boss move would be to embargo the chips, i know they won’t because china wants actually constructive trade relations and if they wanted to throw the toys out the pram they had multiple opportunities to do so for years now when it comes to dealing with the USA
