Chinese academic Zheng Yongnian predicts the US supply chain initiatives in AI, semiconductors, and rare earth minerals will fail due to targeting China, and argues that US restrictions on access to Chinese AI models will harm US companies' commercial interests. He views US AI models as costly and less accessible compared to Chinese open-source models and warns that a US AI bubble collapse could hurt the global economy.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face growing geopolitical risk as US efforts to block Chinese AI and chip access are likely to fail and could backfire commercially. If you operate in AI or semiconductors, prepare for sustained global competition shaped by US-China tensions.
