<p>With Europe looking ready to relinquish its EV market to China, and with Germany and Spain pushing back on restrictions on using Huawei switchgear in European telecom networks, now seems a good time to be getting into bed with the Chinese on software, Ed confides to his diary.</p><p>In government we can’t use Chinese AI products for fear of upsetting the Yanks who need to protect their own over-invested super-high-priced AI software industry, but consumers are clearly preferring Chinese AI models, some of which which can deliver most of the functionality of US models at anything from 5x to 30x less cost.</p><p>A bill currently before the US Senate proposes a $500 million fund to subsidise allied governments’ purchases of US AI products in an attempt to counter Chinese AI exports, and this may be just the tip of the iceberg of what may be coming along in terms of US pressure.</p><p>So the time to get everything in place before the door closes is now.</p><p>In my capacity as Secretary of State I am discussing using a number of tools to scupper Chinese software imports: the</p><p>National Security and Investment Act allows the government to block acquisitions and tech transfers on national security grounds; the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act allows import prohibitions on dual-use software; various product safety, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements can impose import blocks based on safety, conformity (UKCA/CE), or cybersecurity standards.</p><p>There’s a whole heap of other regulations I can bring into play if needed and, as a last resort, we can pass new legislation if required.</p><p>All this is being discussed, there’s a lot of fuss and fury and I must act fast.</p><p>I get on the burner blower to Greaser Grimes at the Scunthorpe ByteForge.</p><p>“Make sure you’ve got a guaranteed and undetectable future flow of Chinese AI software products coming in,” I tell him, “and that you can tart it all up to make it look like it’s home-made.”</p>
