History

Historical Context

In 2018, the U.S. imposed tariffs on Chinese technology, escalating trade tensions and prompting China to invest over $150 billion in its domestic AI industry. This led to the emergence of companies like Zhipu AI and Moonshot AI, which are developing local alternatives in response to U.S. restrictions, significantly impacting the global AI landscape and competition.
