This marks the first time a government has directly claimed a percentage of private company revenues as a condition for tech exports. The 15% revenue-sharing model creates a new form of technological sovereignty where nations not only control what can be sold, but directly profit from permitted sales. This shifts the prophecied economic control systems from mere regulation to direct profit extraction.
US Claims 15% of Nvidia's China AI Chip Sales in Historic Deal
📰 What Happened
Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give 15% of revenues from specific AI chip sales in China directly to the US government as a condition for export licenses. The deal covers Nvidia's H20 and AMD's MI308 chips, with Bernstein Research projecting potential 2025 sales of 1.5 million H20 units worth $23 billion. This could generate over $3 billion for the US government. Export control experts note this revenue-sharing requirement is unprecedented in US trade history.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The $3 billion revenue extraction from AI chip sales represents an unprecedented merger of government control and technological commerce. This aligns with Revelation's description of centralized economic control, but introduces a new dynamic where governments become direct profit participants in strategic technologies. The H20 and MI308 chips' role in AI development, combined with the US government's 15% claim, demonstrates how technological dependencies can be leveraged for economic sovereignty. This creates a template for the prophesied global economic system where all transactions are monitored, controlled, and taxed by central authorities.
