| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor, a conversation with my colleague Chris Regal, the CEO of scholar.com about the Chinese |
| 0:08.0 | boast that Huawei has now managed to create invidious scale chips. |
| 0:16.6 | However, there is a hesitation here. |
| 0:19.8 | What scale? |
| 0:21.5 | Huawei is not at this point producing the highest end chips that |
| 0:27.1 | NVIDIA has to sell and video continues to sell chips into China and that's what |
| 0:32.3 | Huawei is matching not the highest end. |
| 0:35.0 | Chris explains why it would be that Shijin-Ping's Chinese Communist Party is boasting of matching and boasting of their ability to manufacturer chips. |
| 0:48.4 | The competition is ferocious, there's a lot of posturing but Chris sorts it out. |
| 0:53.0 | Chris Regal, scholar.com responding to the |
| 0:58.0 | Huawei Chinese Communist Party boast that they've matched NVIDIA, where, how, when, more of this tonight. |
| 1:08.0 | This is Mr. She positioning, a bit of saber rattling to say if you don't allow us to buy advanced video chips |
| 1:15.8 | we'll make them ourselves. In most cases the Chinese can duplicate American |
| 1:21.2 | technology reverse engineer and copy appropriate intellectual property. |
| 1:27.0 | When it comes to the high-end chip environments much, much harder to do so. |
| 1:31.2 | So can Mr. She project being able to make a peer to Invidia he can project all he |
| 1:37.2 | wants in reality not a chance and because of the ban that's been in place now for several years of ASML, the Dutch lithography maker, who makes the most advanced tools. |
| 1:49.0 | Can the Chinese get that tool to make that chip? No. May they have one from an earlier |
| 1:54.4 | iteration or something that was smuggled in, it's possible, but can they build this |
| 1:58.2 | at scale? No. So if I'm Jensen Wong at Invidia, I'm not really shaking in my boots about the Chinese threat. |
