The Chinese government on Thursday urged Washington to lift technology export restrictions after chip designer Nvidia Corp. said new product launches could be delayed and some work could be moved out of China. I asked
The latest regulations have heightened tensions between the US and China over technology and security. American officials say we need to limit the spread of technology that can be used to make weapons.
Nvidia was told Friday that it would need a license from the US government to export products that match or exceed the performance of its A100 graphics processing chip to China, Hong Kong or Russia. A100 buyers and his new H100 development could be affected, he said.
China’s Ministry of Commerce has accused Washington of abusing export controls to restrict semiconductor sales to China. He said trade restrictions would disrupt supply chains and the global economic recovery.
China is firmly opposed to this, foreign ministry spokesman Shu Jueting said. The US side should immediately stop its wrong practices, treat companies in all countries, including China, equally, and do more to contribute to the stability of the global economy.
U.S. officials are increasingly concerned that Chinese technological developments are both a strategic threat and a potential challenge to U.S. industrial leadership.
Washington tightened controls and lobbied allies to limit access to China’s own cutting-edge chips and tools.
China spends a lot of money developing fledgling producers, but they can’t make the high-end chips used in cutting-edge smartphones and other devices.
Nvidia said it may have to move some operations out of China. The company said it is seeking a waiver from the US government for its development and support activities.
The company said it is trying to meet the needs of Chinese customers with products that are not subject to licensing requirements. The company said it may seek licenses for customers who need them, but there is no guarantee the U.S. government will agree.
