When Power Replaces Intelligence: How Biden’s Policy Destroyed America’s NVIDIA Advantage — and Handed the Future of AI to China
E.B
Trump’s latest decision to allow NVIDIA to sell its H200 chips to China may be the most important strategic move he has made (and he made a few, too few and too amazing to mention!) — and perhaps the most important one he could make — to truly make America great again.
It is refreshing to watch Washington choose intelligence over brute force.
Unfortunately, the fear remains that this correction arrived too late. Because when Biden imposed his chip restrictions, he committed the single greatest strategic mistake an American administration could make: he forced China into building its own AI chips — something China never intended to do.
Before the ban, China was perfectly comfortable relying on NVIDIA.
NVIDIA was easy to use.
NVIDIA was the global standard.
NVIDIA gave China no reason to reinvent the wheel.
But Biden, in a spectacular display of using power instead of brain, slammed the door shut — and instantly created China’s necessity.
And “necessity is the mother of invention” (Plato’s Republic).
China responded with a $1 billion prize for the first local company to build an H200-class chip or better.
Twelve companies (some are smarter and bigger and much more innovative than Apple, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Facebook — Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, and TikTok, to name a few) are now racing toward that target, powered not by the distracted, ideologically confused “woke education” dominating American universities, but by a disciplined, technically focused army of Chinese engineers — trained in mathematics, physics, architecture, systems design, and real engineering rather than the political psychology of contradicting the laws of nature, science, and facts.
And the outcome is inevitable:
China will sooner or even more soon produce a better NVIDIA — cheaper, faster, cleaner, and completely free from U.S. backdoors, licensing, controls, restrictions, or influence.
Once they succeed, OpenAI can change its name to “CloseByeBye” — these chips will pour into the global market at 90% lower cost, instantly accessible to every U.S. adversary, every sanctioned regime, every hostile military, and every actor America hoped to restrain.
This is the harvest of strategic stupidity:
America tried to secure its advantage through force, and instead destroyed its advantage through the vacuum it created.
This is not new.
It is the same mistake Europe made by blocking itself and its citizens from cheap Russian oil, only to watch Russia open new and bigger markets and double its revenue while EU citizens pay double for energy — with zero effect on the Ukraine war.
It is the same mistake the United States made weaponizing the U.S. dollar and SWIFT, only to push rich and powerful nations to establish alternative — faster, cheaper, and backed-by-real value — currencies and payment systems.
And now it is the same mistake Biden made with AI chips — pushing China to stop depending on U.S. technology and start replacing it.
This is the American tragedy (Winston Churchill’s famous quote: “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing — after they’ve tried everything else”):
Goliath keeps relying on its power, and Goliath keeps losing to smarter Davids.
Trump’s new policy is correct.
Trump’s correction is necessary.
Trump’s move is intelligent.
But the nightmare is that Biden’s mistake may have already accelerated China beyond the point of return.
Better late than never — yes.
But we better get used to the reality where China is dominating the AI world as we know it so far.
For the USA to stay relevant, it must:
1. Stop using brutal restrictions and instead allow limitless SMART and PRODUCTIVE migration into all American AI companies — rather than blocking American companies from global talents who received real education instead of the American universities’ woke cancer.
2. Use unlimited brutal force to fight EU laws targeting American tech companies and American individuals.
3. Cooperate with China on AI rather than competing with the empire of tomorrow using the mindset of yesterday.
This means welcoming Chinese investment in American space companies and brain-chip innovation, and being part of the future together, rather than watching it on Chinese TikTok and TV.
4. Maintain Trump’s peace economy rather than returning to the traditional American war economy.
5. Keep America First, with the humility to recognize that there is more than one way to run a successful country — as proven by Singapore, China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, all of which have outperformed the world’s broken “democracies” with their fake freedoms, fake justice, and fake prosperity that they keep pretending to maintain while collapsing backward.
