Reddit Debate: US AI Bubble Risks Ignoring China's Low-Cost Token Dominance

A Reddit user points out that current AI bubble discussions are overly focused on the US market. The poster argues that while American AI companies face profitability and survival risks, Chinese AI firms are leveraging architectural advantages to offer extremely low token prices.
The user speculates that this low-pricing strategy might be a deliberate competitive tactic to capture market share. If US AI companies collapse, Chinese firms may not follow suit and could already be in a dominant position.
