China's Chip Advances Increase Beijing's Leverage in Talks With the U.S.
Although still plagued by a handful of technological bottlenecks and scalability constraints, China's domestic AI software and semiconductor supply chain is growing in sophistication, giving China confidence to take more aggressive action against Western technology companies. On Sept. 15, China's antitrust regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation, said American semiconductor giant Nvidia had violated the country's anti-monopoly law in relation to its 2020 acquisition of Israeli-American networking product company Mellanox. Later that week, Chinese authorities reportedly pressed Chinese companies to halt testing and placing orders for Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D graphics processing units, one of the lower-performance chips Nvidia designed for the Chinese market to comply with U.S. export controls. These moves came alongside several recent steps forward for China's overall semiconductor supply chain. The Financial Times reported Sept. 17 that China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., or SMIC, had recently begun testing a deep ultraviolet immersion lithography machine developed

On Sept. 14 and 15, Qatar hosted an emergency Arab-Islamic summit to discuss Israel's Sept. 9 attack on Hamas leadership in Doha. At the summit, the GCC members pledged to "activate a joint defense mechanism." The GCC's Unified Military Command is expected to convene soon in Doha to plan to enhance the GCC's deterrent capabilities. While the specifics of the joint defense mechanism are unclear, the GCC's stated stance is that an attack on one member is an attack on the broader GCC. The summit also produced a joint statement condemning the Israeli attack
