<\/figure>\n\n\n\nManufacturing chips is not just about designing a processor. It involves mastering an extremely sophisticated supply chain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. Extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. Doping and coating equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. Advanced packaging tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. Ultrapure materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only a few countries\u2014the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and to a lesser extent, the Netherlands\u2014control these critical technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For China, fully entering that club is no easy feat. It requires billions of dollars in investment, long-term planning, and an industrial ecosystem that takes decades to consolidate. But Beijing has no doubts: its strategy is to persevere relentlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if anything characterizes China, it is precisely that: the ability to commit to 10- or 20-year goals, even when the immediate results are not spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few weeks ago, the CEO of Nvidia stated that Chinese companies are close to manufacturing components comparable to their own. It was probably a warning intended to pressure US authorities not to loosen restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the gap remains clear today, it is also true that in the medium term, that distance could narrow. China has demonstrated that when it concentrates resources on a technical objective, it advances with surprising speed. It has done so in telecommunications, solar energy, electric vehicles, and quantum computing. It wouldn't be surprising if it repeated history with AI chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology decides who leads the world\u2026 and China knows it. The geopolitics of the 21st century is based less on borders and militaries (though those are important too), and more on technology. And in this race, the United States has understood this for decades. China understands it too, though Europe, unfortunately, seems less so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While China and the US invest massively in their technological value chains, Europe risks falling behind, lacking an industrial strategy that can compete with the scale of the two superpowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China doesn't yet have chips comparable to Nvidia's, but it has already made the most important strategic decision: to be independent, whatever the cost. And in technology, political will combined with massive investment usually produces results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The struggle for primacy in artificial intelligence will continue to intensify. And in this global battle, chips are not just hardware: they represent power, autonomy, and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
