DeepSeek and Huawei Target a Key Source of Nvidia’s A.I. Dominance

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around DeepSeek and Huawei working on software tools for Huawei’s Ascend chips as part of China’s broader AI self-reliance effort. The South China Morning Post is the only one to say the tools were open-sourced and to foreground the aim of reducing dependence on Nvidia under US export curbs. The New York Times instead casts it as a move targeting a key source of Nvidia’s A.I. dominance.
