In a BOLD and UNPRECEDENTED move, President Donald Trump has OFFICIALLY LET CHINA BUY America’s most powerful AI technology, but with a shocking TWIST: the U.S. government will now act as a MAJOR SHAREHOLDER, skimming a HUGE 25% of every single sale. This is not a sanction—it’s a STRATEGIC SURRENDER disguised as a deal, handing Beijing the very tools it needs to dominate the future while U.S. officials cash in.
The H200 chip is NOT some watered-down export. It’s the REAL DEAL, the same cutting-edge hardware powering American AI, now cleared for shipment to America’s greatest geopolitical rival. Critics are sounding the ALARM, warning this decision FUNDAMENTALLY UNDERMINES national security for what Trump casually calls “a pretty good level” of profit. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang boasts of “VERY HIGH” demand from China, with production lines already humming to feed the dragon’s insatiable appetite.
The administration’s so-called “safeguards” are a PAPER-THIN facade. While chips must be tested on U.S. soil, this very rule forces their IMPORTATION, slapping on an additional 25% tariff—a MERE BOOKKEEPING EXERCISE that does NOTHING to prevent Chinese military and intelligence agencies from eventually accessing this game-changing compute power. The White House is effectively turning America’s technological crown jewels into a COMMODITY, with Beijing as the primary customer.
This isn’t just business; it’s a DIRECT PIPELINE of strategic advantage flowing East, bankrolled by American policy. We are now active participants in forging our own obsolescence. The question every American must ask tonight is terrifyingly simple: WHEN THE ALGORITHMS OF TOMORROW ARE WEAPONIZED AGAINST US, WHO WILL CASH THE CHECK THEN?
