US–China Technology Competition
ตะวันตกกลัว จีนครอบงำสื่อด้วย Vidu 2.0 - AI สร้างคอนเทนต์ วีดีโอ
Summary
Vidu 2.0 is a Chinese video-generation model running 55% cheaper than its Western rival, OpenAI’s Sora.
What comes with it is content control to Chinese standards — a condition attached to the tool itself.
The question is what happens to media worldwide if everyone adopts it, and whether this shows the chip export controls failing.
Key points
Price decides which tool gets used
Most content producers choose on cost, not on country of origin.
The content controls travel with the tool
What a model refuses to generate sets the boundary of media without any downstream censorship.
This happened despite the chip restrictions
Another piece of evidence that the export controls are not working as intended.
Thai media is in the price-sensitive group
Limited production budgets make a 55% gap almost immediately decisive.
