    China's next AI shock isn't another DeepSeek-style model. It's hardware.After DeepSeek proved China could compete under constraints, that approach is moving from software to chips, power, and infrastructure. Instead of chasing the most advanced GPUs, China is scaling what it controls: domestic chips that are good enough, cheap power, and systems designed to work together. This is less about building a Chinese Nvidia and more about building an alternative AI stack and pushing it into markets that want AI now, not perfect performance.
