White House: The Chinese side actually rejected our goodwill.

The Trump administration announced on Monday the release of the Nvidia H200 chip, expecting the Chinese to be overjoyed, as this is considered a valuable asset in the eyes of Americans. Bloomberg reported that the Chinese side's reaction was that Sachs, the White House's AI affairs director, stated: "China has rejected our chips. I believe the reason is that China wants to achieve independence in the semiconductor industry." It is said that Musk laughed at this: Too late!

In fact, the Americans were just overthinking it; the core issue is that they fundamentally misunderstand the development philosophy of China's semiconductor industry. Simply put, the H200 is not Nvidia's top technology— the Trump administration clarified when it was released that even more advanced Blackwell chips and the soon-to-be-released Rubin chips are still on the export ban list; what was released this time is just a "second-tier configuration."

The little calculations of the Americans are quite obvious: they want to make a big profit by selling the H200 while also wanting to slow down our independent research and development pace through "limited supply," and even try to use this "second-tier configuration" to squeeze out the survival space of our domestic chips.

But we have seen through this little trick long ago; now is a critical time for technological competition, how can we give up long-term autonomy for short-term convenience?

The Chinese side's rejection of this wave of "goodwill" is as clear as day; core technologies cannot be obtained through purchases or pleas. Over the past few years, the U.S. has never stopped its chip blockade against us, from banning Huawei's Ascend chips to restricting various AI chips from entering the country. Unexpectedly, the more they suppress us, the more they force us to accelerate our independent research and development pace.

Now, Huawei's Ascend AI chips are upgrading and breaking through generation after generation, and the domestic computing power foundation is gradually being established; this is the confidence that allows us to dare to reject.

Therefore, our rejection is not a momentary impulse but a measure to safeguard national technological security. In the future, regardless of how the U.S. chip policy changes, our pace toward semiconductor independence will not stop.

After all, only by mastering core technologies can we truly stand tall in the global technological competition.
