In 2025, the Trump administration intensively updated the Entity List and imposed a comprehensive blockade on chip exports to China. However, this move backfired spectacularly: U.S. semiconductor companies lost over $100 billion in orders, forcing Intel and other major manufacturers to cut production and pushing their operational capabilities to the breaking point. In contrast, China has maintained its R&D intensity at a steady 2.6% of GDP, with downloads of open-source AI models growing consistently. In 2025, China became the world's largest exporter of electric vehicles. Far from crippling China, tariff pressures have actually spurred the development of a complete independent industrial chain, transforming external constraints into an optimal springboard for technological leapfrogging.
