Huawei is locking in domestic AI chip demand among China's top internet platforms while no major US tech firm breaks ranks on defense AI contracts. Together, these two stable-but-divergent industrial postures cement parallel AI tech stacks and entrench the US-China tech decoupling spiral.

Huawei domestic chip lock-in + US defense AI continuity → mutual industrial commitments harden → US-China tech decoupling becomes structurally irreversible → fuels broader supply-chain fragmentation.
