> If a Chinese company with massive government contracts had invested in OpenAI there is no way that the US would not start an investigation
Sure, but if a European did we wouldn't.
So if you start in America, you can access both continents. If you start in China, you can access Europe and Asia. If you start in Europe, you're limited to one.
Granted, this is just a proble. But if it amounts to something, it's an asymmetrically chilling move.
> the US explicitly restricts investment in Chinese AI companies now
Congress seeks to curb it but doesn't in practice. That may change. In any case, I was discounting access to American capital market for Chinese AI start-ups: they can tap both China and Europe.
