We’re now in the business of shipping advanced AI chips to China

Trump demanded a 15% cut of the business from Nvidia and got it. Previously there were controls on selling such chips to them.

So ... is it a tax?

Wonder what the Conservatives think about this. We still have any Conservative here?

It’s not so much the tax it that we now have a financial stake in Chinese AI infrastructure buildout. Seems ….. misguided.

Also I’m not sure where the money goes. General treasury funds? Or some special investment fund controlled by Trump?

Maybe crypto.
I am waiting to be surprised by an answer even crazier than that.

Heard a podcast about it the other day.... the short version is China would eventually build chips as good as Nvidia, so might as well let a US company (Nvidia) control the market supply for as long as possible thereby letting our country control China's AI abilities, indirectly.
