China's AI and biotech ambitions face US scrutiny amid hardware export battles

China's ambition to become a biotech and AI superpower is facing geopolitical complexities, particularly concerning its dominant biotech firm WuXi AppTec and its AI hardware sector. The U.S. is scrutinizing WuXi due to its deep integration into global supply chains, raising concerns about systemic dependency, while simultaneously grappling with how to manage its own AI hardware dominance. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stated that China should not have access to the latest U.S. AI GPUs, asserting that the U.S. should maintain a technological lead, though U.S. export policies have led to Nvidia losing its entire AI accelerator market share in China. This has created an opening for domestic Chinese companies like Huawei, which are increasingly developing their own AI hardware and software, supported by significant state investment. AI
