During the May Day holiday, Boss He of Xpeng Motors went to the base camp of US imperialism and participated in some meetings in the field of science and technology. Let's think about it, it's really timely for him to go abroad! Just escaped the domestic travel peak, and you can also experience Tesla's FSD by the way.
Boss He was full of emotion when he came back, and felt that FSD was really great! However, we haven't tested it ourselves, so it's hard to jump to conclusions. If we can get FSD in China one day, we must have a good experience!
In addition to touting FSD, Boss He also pointed out that compared with the United States, we have not done enough in terms of AI entrepreneurship and corporate participation. As soon as these words came out, they hit the pain points of many people......
He Xiaopeng pointed out that there are too few AI startups in China, which I agree.
At present, basically all of the AI companies in China are Internet giants like BAT, and there are very few small and medium-sized start-ups. To put it bluntly, it is because the country's policy support in this area is not enough.
You see, any industry with key state subsidies, such as semiconductors before, was in the midst of thousands of troops during the tuyere, and tens of thousands of companies were established. Of course, there are some opportunists among them, and when the limelight passes, they disappear. There are only a few decent ones that can stay.
On the other hand, in the AI industry, the state's support policies have not yet shadowed.
Without the support of real money, no matter how enthusiastic the entrepreneurs are, it is difficult to sustain it. After all, to engage in AI research and development, not to mention the high technical threshold, capital investment is also a bottomless pit. Relying on enthusiasm, I'm afraid it won't be able to play.
Therefore, the national level must come up with practical support policies to encourage more powerful enterprises to devote themselves to AI innovation. In this way, we can achieve corner overtaking in this field, instead of always using "too few AI start-ups" as an excuse.
As for He Xiaopeng's remark that there are fewer Chinese companies going to the United States for meetings, I don't think so.
This matter, everyone knows the door, do you need me to say more?
The U.S. has been targeting Chinese companies since the Trump era, and it has intensified year by year. It is said that there are thousands of Chinese companies that have been sanctioned. Who knows when they will stop? In the face of this situation, Chinese companies still dare to swagger to the United States? Isn't that unpleasant for yourself?
What's more, the United States' suppression of us is not as simple as sanctioning companies?
Just look at the data of international students in recent years. The number of Chinese students studying in the United States has dropped from 370,000 at the peak to 250,000. On the other hand, the number of American students studying in China has dropped from 25,000 to 700. The reasons for this are self-evident.
On the one hand, the United States is changing its methods to obstruct our students from passing through, and on the other hand, it is still hyping up the "China threat theory" at home, so that who of its students will dare to come to China? This kind of thing has been said, and you still expect Chinese companies to rush to give them face?
Let's just say that the reason why the Yankees make all kinds of difficulties for us is nothing more than to look down on our development achievements in recent years. People are thinking, I have to give you a dismount quickly, don't let you really fly to the sky.
When Huawei was on the rise, didn't they just use all kinds of means to drive people out of the North American market? If it weren't for the strength of our country, Meng Wanzhou would have become the second Pieruzzi. This shows how ugly the face of the United States is.
In the final analysis, one of the two "shortcomings" proposed by He Xiaopeng is counted as one, and it is not China's own problem. Chinese companies did not go to the United States to participate in the conference because of unreasonable suppression by the United States. As for AI entrepreneurship, it is more dependent on the state's policy to "rain and dew", how can entrepreneurs be forced to carry it themselves?
Therefore, if we want to make some changes in these aspects, the key depends on the attitude of the United States and the domestic policy environment. Otherwise, it may be difficult to convince the public just by relying on He Xiaopeng to sing the decline here.
Having said all this, I would like to ask in conclusion: How should China respond to the various difficulties that the United States has made to us? How can we improve our policies and create an environment that is more conducive to innovation and development? What do you think about these questions that deserve to be pondered by each and every one of us?
