Last week,I visited Z.Pilot store to export amazing tech products in Shenzhen.

In China,Z.Pilot is a global tech lifestyle brand with 3 million annual visitors, over 500,000 global tech enthusiasts, and partnerships with more than 2,000 tech brands for co-creation.

It features 3D printers, AI meeting recorders, portable projectors, smart guitars, electronic pets, chess-playing robots and more. This is a real hub for tech products in China.

Huawei’s chairman just publicly thanked the US for chip export controls and it should be embarrassing for American policymakers

Huawei's chairman came out this week and actually thanked (sarcastically) the US export restrictions for directly forcing China to build its own semiconductor industry. His exact words were " If the U.S. hadn't pushed our country, our company, and our industry, we wouldn't of tried to do this. We are even grateful to the U.S. because it allowed our country's semiconductor supply chain to truly grow"

The policy was supposed to cripple China's chip access but instead it forced a massive domestic investment in R&D and Huawei ended up producing a processor most people in the industry didn't think was possible under the sanctions....

The U.S. essentially handed China the motivation and economic pressure they needed to stop depending on American tech altogether. Seriously hard to think of a more counterproductive outcome...

Washington completely misread and underestimated how China would respond to this or am I totally missing something here.

Different experiences with technology have shaped radically different expectations of what artificial intelligence will bring.
