Can US export controls successfully stall China's progress in artificial intelligence and military tech?

The United States has implemented new export restrictions targeting China's access to advanced computer chips. This move aims to hinder the development of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence and military applications, by limiting China's ability to manufacture or acquire the necessary hardware.

The US Commerce Department's recent export controls are specifically designed to impede China's advancement in fields with military implications. By restricting access to high-end chips, the policy seeks to slow progress in artificial intelligence and complicate the development of supercomputers used for modeling nuclear weapons and hypersonic technology.

These measures were announced just before the Chinese Communist Party's 20th National Congress, a significant political event where President Xi Jinping was expected to secure a third term as leader.
