China's AI Chip Gap Lies in Full-Stack Manufacturing

Post comments on a perspective about China's AI chip capabilities:
- In the past, China wasn't necessarily far behind Nvidia in chip design; author argues "chip design isn't that hard."
- The key shortfall is not design itself but the full-stack manufacturing capability, particularly the complete engineering system needed to mass-produce designs.
- The original quote emphasizes that by around 2023, Nvidia once satisfied about 90% of China's AI chip demand, and export controls changed the landscape.
