Malaysia started a new AI project using Chinese technology instead of American chips. The country plans to keep all data inside its borders, with Malaysian workers running everything. This marks the first time a nation outside China has picked Huawei chips and DeepSeek AI models for major government work. The United States might object because it bans companies from using Huawei products anywhere in the world. Malaysia has already helped send NVIDIA chips to China through trade gaps earlier.
The Malaysian government wants to control its AI future without depending on other countries. Their servers will stay local to protect information from leaving the country. This decision shows Huawei making progress against NVIDIA in the global AI race. Chinese AI systems can match what American companies build, according to recent tests. Malaysia risks making the US angry but gains more freedom to build what it wants.
