Current US export control enforcement continues to choke PRC-based entities' access to frontier AI compute, evidenced by H100/A100 supply data showing minimal diversion. While indigenous Ascend 910B production gains, its relative performance gap for large-scale LLM training prevents any singular enterprise, including Company M, from achieving undisputed 'best' status by May's close. The tech bifurcation limits, rather than enables, a clear leader within the current geopolitical strictures. 90% NO — invalid if PRC announces sovereign foundry capability surpassing NVIDIA H200 parity within specified timeframe.
