Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government has strategically placed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) production technologies under export control, signaling a significant shift in the global battery supply chain dynamics [1][2]. Group 1: Impact on Technology and Supply Chain - The U.S. release of the H20 chip is seen as a miscalculation, as its performance is only 15% of the H100, while Huawei's Ascend 910B outperforms it significantly [2]. - China produces 80% of the world's LFP batteries, with companies like CATL and BYD having established strong patent protections [2][4]. - The export control also includes lithium extraction technologies, affecting overseas companies' ability to produce batteries without relying on Chinese resources [4]. Group 2: Strategic Implications - The Chinese government's actions are viewed as a decisive move in the ongoing technological and economic competition with the U.S., emphasizing the importance of technological sovereignty [2][5]. - The U.S. attempts to leverage the CUDA ecosystem to bind Chinese developers may face challenges as China fortifies its position in battery materials [5]. - The anticipated increase in battery costs by 30% for European and American automakers highlights the critical role of battery technology in the broader energy revolution [5].
