The Chinese are spending a lot less than the US; and are getting essentially the same results, if not better.
there is no chinese nvidia; top performing models are not chinese; deepseek was a splash, not a wave; SMIC doesnt compete with TSMC or even lesser foundries.
these are present day results, the sum product of policy/administration/everything, not what-ifs or projections.
if may very well change, but at present, china leading AI is fan fiction.
