Barack Obama knew that China is not America's friend. Joe Biden knew that China is not America's friend. Every Republican in the Senate and House knows China is not America's friend. So what is Donald Trump doing? Strengthening China's industry and military so it can be used against the U.S. Specifically, he is allowing NVIDIA to sell its most advanced AI chips to China. After all, the U.S. probably has a lead in AI, so it is only fair that we help China catch up, right? If a Democratic president had agreed to this, House Republicans would be falling all over each other to be the first to submit the motion to impeach that president. Oh, and Trump is also allowing China to buy advanced chips it cannot make itself from Intel and AMD. Joe Biden restricted the sale of advanced chips to China, and there was bipartisan support for that.
NVIDIA is happy to have the deal. After all, its job is to make money, not to worry about national security. That is Trump's job. The details of the deal are not public, but but Trump has stated that the United States government will receive a 25% cut of Nvidia's chip sales to China. So much for free trade, which Republicans used to care about. (V)
