China is closely monitoring the United States movement with Stargate. And your answer has already prepared

The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) cost what it costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’it will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX.

These companies will support the construction during the next four years of an advanced data centers that will house the high performance computing infrastructure necessary to keep the US at the head in the field of AI. Interestingly, the spearhead of these facilities is already being built in Texas (USA). For China, this ambitious US project represents a threat to the same extent that for the country led by Donald Trump Chinese advances in AI constitute a problem.

China’s response is already underway

The administration headed by Xi Jinping has rushed to make the US know that its Stargate plan will receive an answer from your country. “China has made impressive advances in the construction of smart computer centers. While maintaining the current rhythm, the gap in the field of computing infrastructure that separates them from the US will be reduced even more … despite the Stargate project,” has declared Lian JyeChief analyst of the British consultant OMDIA.

SANCTIONS TO CHINA deployed by the US and its allies During the last two and a half years they pursue the development of their semiconductor industry, and Also from its AI infrastructure. In the field of integrated circuits Chinese manufacturers face the enormous challenge of producing their own equipment from extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) necessary to be able to manufacture avant -garde semiconductors.

However, in the field of Chinese high performance computing infrastructures it has advanced a lot during the last 24 months. In fact, Official data They reflect that in June 2024 they were recently finished or under construction at least 250 advanced data centers and other computer facilities in China. According to the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the country led by Xi Jinping is only behind the US. Although This source is interestedhis conclusion is very credible.

“We hope that China significantly increase its investments in AI and semiconductors in response to the US domain in AI,” CBM consultancy analysts foresee. It makes sense. These two great powers world supremacy are being disputedso it is understandable that each significant step that give one of the two Receive a more or less overwhelming answer from the other. We can be sure that 2025 will be a year even more agitated than 2024 in the geopolitical and technological fields, so we will be attentive to the steps that US and China will surely give.
