He said import not export. All the vaunted progress on Chinese AI is based on nvidia gpus. They are irreplaceable.

Yeah once China runs out of nvidia GPU's the whole economy will crash.

Meanwhile everything in the US is "made in china" and our entire manufacturing infrastructure and knowledge has deteriorated while China was slowly taking over...

But everyone knows GPU's are the key to economic dominance.

Well their AI progress will stall until they come up with an alternative to CUDA which, if you talk to futurists here, is almost just as bad. And this is just one example. Many industries are reliant on some special American component that they haven't figured out yet.

Relying on some special part is different from the entire US manufacturing sector being surpassed by China.

"everything in the US is "made in china""

I think people get a distorted picture of that as an artifact of labeling rules. The US exports a lot of industrial equipment, for instance. Most of the economy does not involve the final step of constructing consumer products that leads to the label "made in..." on the shelf of Wal-Mart.
