The US considers lifting the ban on NVIDIA's H200 AI chips to China—what does this really mean? Returning expert TP Huang joins Carl Zha for a deep dive into the state of Chinese AI and semiconductors. We break down the potential impact of H200, why Huawei's Ascend chips are the real story, and how companies like DeepSeek are pioneering the future. From the battle for compute supremacy to robotics and the race for AGI, this is an unmissable update on the technological cold war. 📌 TP Huang on Social Media: X (Twitter): @TPHuang https://x.com/tphuang Substack: TPHuang's Newsletter https://tphuang.substack.com/ ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Subscribe Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news 0:00 - Welcome Back & The H200 News1:45 - Why the US Might Unban NVIDIA Chips4:20 - China's Cautious Assessment & Domestic Supply7:10 - The Huawei & DeepSeek Software Partnership10:35 - Adoption of Huawei Chips: Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu14:00 - Chinese AI Models: DeepSeek, Qwen, & Kimi16:30 - Is Chinese AI Behind the US?
