China profits from US AI boom despite Washington’s tech curbs, research says

Despite stringent American restrictions on semiconductor exports and AI technology transfers, China continues to leverage its strategic position within regional supply chains to capitalize on the expanding US artificial intelligence sector. New research indicates that Beijing's integrated role in Asian manufacturing networks positions it to benefit substantially from increased American investment in AI infrastructure and development, suggesting that unilateral trade barriers may have limited effectiveness in completely decoupling technological advancement across the Pacific.
