Uhh do you think the People's Republic of China is going bankrupt if they don't get better GPUs for a decade?
Or if you mean the company, they'll absolutely receive a bunch of subsidies to keep going.
They should have used some of those subsidies to lower the price lol
They don't really have to. This is a test run to prove they can make GPUs. I don't have a source for it, but supposedly they made or are making about 1000. I'm sure there will be 1000 patriots to buy GPUs from a local company over an American one.
Continued development will be funded by the government at least until the local alternatives are good enough to compete on the local market - perhaps until they surpass nVidia and AMD, that's sorta what they're trying to do with EVs right now (you buy a BYD or something in Europe and the Chinese government is subsidizing it despite the car not even being sold in China)
