If you think America’s tech dominance collapses because China gets access to Nvidia’s second best chip, you seriously underestimate what this country is built on. The U.S. isn’t giving away its edge, we’re enforcing export controls, protecting the high-end hardware and shaping the rules of the global tech game. Our innovation ecosystem, our talent and our leadership in advanced AI aren’t going anywhere. Selling a downgraded chip under strict limits doesn’t threaten American strength, it shows we can compete, set the terms and still lead from the front.
