特朗普重返白宫后，再度挥舞关税大棒，试图以极限施压迫使中国让步，美国前财政部长顾问给他泼了 一盆冷水。奥巴马时期担任财政部长顾问的史蒂文·拉特纳，在结束一周的访华行程后，于美国主流媒 体《纽约时报》发表署名文章《我刚从中国回来，我们没有赢》，直言不讳地指出"中国制造业实力强 大，不可能通过加征关税打败中国"。 这番打破美国政客固有论调的表态，是美国精英阶层对中国地位的正视与承认，还是暗藏私心、为美国 后续对华策略"铺路"的话术？ 史蒂文·拉特纳 关税战终成"纸老虎" 特朗普自开启第二任期，对华经贸政策迅速回归"极限施压"轨道，以近乎"拍脑门拉表格"的草率方式， 炮制出所谓"对等关税"，甚至荒唐到对只有企鹅栖息、无人类居住的岛屿商品加征关税。 作为美国眼中"最主要的竞争对手"，中国自然成为这场关税闹剧的重点针对对象。美国率先对中国商品 加征34%关税，还蛮横威胁中国不得反抗，否则将进一步加码制裁。但中国从不惯着霸权行径，美国加 征多少，中国便同步反制多少，坚定将"对等"二字贯彻到底，绝不妥协退让。 拉锯之下，中美双方关税一度攀升至145%，近乎宣告双边正常经贸往来陷入停滞，而美国国内随即陷 入混乱：民众疯狂抢购 ...

寒武纪，曾经风光无限，股价一度超过贵州茅台，被称作"股王"。 但现在，它的股价在过去一个月里，从1500元一路砸到了1058元，跌幅超过30%。 曾经 它超越茅台，如今茅台稳稳站在1500元以上，它却跌回了茅台脚下。 摩尔线程更惨，从去年12月941元的高点，跌到了现在的539元，跌幅超过40%，而且 下跌的速度越来越快。 最晚上市的沐曦股份，几乎是上市即巅峰，股价从895元一路向下，直奔490元，距离腰斩只有一步之遥。 略。 但当市场风声鹤唳时，每一个弱点都会被无限放大。 最近A股的科技圈，可以说是寒气逼人。 如果你关注芯片和AI，肯定会注意到一个扎心的现象：去年那些被捧上天的"国产GPU希望之星"，股价正在集体上 演高台跳水。 最引人注目的就是三家：寒武纪、摩尔线程和沐曦股份。 这不是个别股票的调整，而是整个板块的溃退。 就在2月4日一天，AI算力芯片板块的主力资金净流出就高达24.54亿元。 人们都在问，那个激动人心的科技 牛市结束了吗？ 为什么这些顶着"国产替代"、"AI核心"光环的明星公司，说崩就崩了？ 答案，可能就藏在它们火热的梦想和冰冷的现实之间，那道越来越 宽的裂缝里。 我们先看看寒武纪。 这 ...

By January 2028, EPS is expected to reach $8.47, with revenue of $356.75 billion and a peak profit margin of 58.52% [5]. - The average net profit margin over the next five years is anticipated to be 57.0% [4]. Market Dynamics - Nvidia's market share in the Chinese AI chip market is projected to decline from 66% in 2024 to 54% in 2025, primarily due to the rise of domestic competitors and complexities in chip supply recovery [8]. - Domestic AI chip manufacturers, such as Huawei, are rapidly iterating their products, which may further pressure Nvidia's market position [9]. Competitive Landscape - The growth of domestic AI chips may impact Nvidia's pricing power, which has been strong due to its near-monopoly in high-performance AI chips. The increasing competition could lead to price pressures and a potential loss of market share [13]. - Analysts note that the Chinese market's scale provides local companies with opportunities to grow and develop their ecosystems, potentially leading to competition beyond China [13].

Core Viewpoint - The global competition in artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly focused on the physical foundation of computing power, leading to a silent war over "Compute Sovereignty" [2][3][4]. Group 1: Understanding Compute Sovereignty - Compute sovereignty is a complex issue that must be deconstructed into three levels: the location of AI computing resources, the nationality of the companies owning these data centers, and the origin of the AI accelerators (chips) powering them [2][3]. - A survey of nine leading public cloud service providers reveals a highly uneven global distribution of computing power, with only 33 countries hosting critical AI infrastructure, indicating a significant gap between "compute-rich" and "compute-poor" nations [3][4]. Group 2: Territorial Illusions and Economic Considerations - The concept of territorial sovereignty in computing power is primarily about having physical AI data centers within a country's borders, which is seen as essential for ensuring supply security and regulatory oversight [4][5]. - The report highlights that while attracting foreign tech giants to build data centers can bring economic benefits, the environmental and resource costs may outweigh these advantages, especially for countries lacking competitive energy and climate conditions [5]. Group 3: Supplier Loyalty and Geopolitical Strategies - Merely having data centers does not equate to true sovereignty; the nationality of AI cloud service providers introduces a layer of complexity due to overlapping legal jurisdictions [6][7]. - Countries face strategic choices between two approaches: "Aligning" with a single foreign superpower's digital infrastructure or "Hedging" by diversifying suppliers to mitigate risks [8][9]. Group 4: The Chip Dependency - The report identifies a critical dependency on AI accelerators, with U.S. companies like NVIDIA dominating 80% to 95% of the global market, leading to a situation where most countries rely on U.S. technology for their AI capabilities [10][11]. - Countries like the EU and China are striving for "strategic autonomy" in chip production, but achieving this is a long-term and costly endeavor [12][13]. Group 5: Conclusion on Sovereignty - The report concludes that compute sovereignty is not a straightforward goal but a complex framework filled with trade-offs, where a nation may achieve sovereignty in one area while remaining dependent in another [13].
