Not really, China is just a step behind, in a year they will be at current US AI state-of-art, without competition, from there they'll have all the GPUs in the world to keep improving their models.

Or most probably, US national interests will step in, just like it did with SpaceX, and will provide any amount of billions required to keep in the fight, at least till China steps out of the AI race.

Beside the (naive?), naysayers, until the technology actually shows it is failing to keep the promise of super powerful AIs, it is a global, geopolitical race to get there (AGI/ASI), or till the point it fails (new AI winter).

To make quite sure it really doesn't work, and not dropping out of the race just to see a chinese ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), emerge a couple of years later.

China isn't even close to state of the art. Take a look at the chips they put out, the Chinese repeatedly “claim” they are building chips equivalent to a 4 or 5 year old Intel chip (Which might as well be a century ago in terms of technology) until a tech YouTuber in the US actually gets their hands on one and realizes the benchmarks are completely fabricated.
Is there a particular video or channel you'd suggest?
