"However, there is no guarantee of success. Designing a competitive AI chip typically takes years and significant capital. Manufacturing poses another hurdle as the U.S. bans Chinese designers from accessing the most advanced overseas foundries, while separate U.S. curbs have cut China's access to high-bandwidth memory, a component critical to AI inference chips."
