High performance computing in US-China relations

Sovereign Data

25 Aug

SUMMARY: This analysis explores the escalating geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China over supercomputing, framing it as a new technological "arms race" for economic and strategic advantage. It details how China's development of the world's top-ranked supercomputer, Tianhe-2, prompted new US investment initiatives and trade restrictions on key components like Intel chips. The article concludes that this competition, driven by national prestige and security concerns, could lead to mutual exclusion policies that ultimately damage both nations' economic prospects.
