This guy's a fascist, full-stop: his biggest problem with the US is that we aren't sufficiently subservient to the military. Good riddance.

    He attacked Google for not working on AI with the US 
    Defense Department, while Chinese companies are obliged
    to work with Beijing.

    The US is also wasting time debating the ethics of AI
    while China makes “massive investment” and eschews such
    concerns

How is that fascist? That statement isn't about subservience at all. It's about engineers refusing to help the government during an arms race.
Maybe fascist is a little extreme but nationalist definitely fit the bill. Not every American thinks America as a geopolitical entity in itself is a positive thing. Hence helping them in an arm's race would be outright immoral unless if they think China is worse enough in the international stage to invoke the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" maxim which is a pretty dubious position to hold.
