In the global race for technological dominance, the United States risks undermining its own advantage by focusing more on restrictions than renewal. The most recent example came this week when the Trump administration blocked Nvidia’s H20 chips—designed specifically to comply with earlier export rules—from being sold to China. These tactical actions might buy time, but they are not a grand strategy.
If America wants to maintain its edge over China, the answer isn’t more barriers—it’s building more bridges. The United States should seek to retain global talent, expand educational opportunity, develop research infrastructure, and enhance public understanding of how artificial intelligence (AI) actually works to maintain its lead in the ongoing technology competition with the Chinese Communist Party.
Export Controls Can’t Substitute for National Renewal
The new export restrictions on Nvidia’s H20 chips shut down one of the last legal channels for AI hardware exports to China. The H20, by design, limited interconnect bandwidth and processing power to remain beneath U.S. Department of Commerce’s thresholds targeting military-use AI accelerators.
