Beijing
By Chris Williams
Beijing condemned on Wednesday new US chip export controls as “bullying”, warning it would take steps against measures aimed at restricting Chinese access to high-tech semiconductors and supply chains.
The US Commerce Department recently issued guidance cautioning that companies using Chinese-made high-tech AI semiconductors, particularly Huawei’s Ascend chips, risk violating US export controls. The policy aims to share American AI technology “with trusted foreign countries around the world, while keeping the technology out of the hands of our adversaries.”
In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce accused the US of “abusing export controls to suppress and contain China,” stating that “these actions seriously harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and endanger China’s development interests.” The ministry also warned that “any organization or individual that enforces or assists in enforcing such measures” could be in violation of Chinese law.
The escalating tensions have prompted concerns over the stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain. Industry leaders, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, have criticized the US export controls, labeling them a “failure” that has accelerated the development of competitive Chinese technologies. Huang noted that Nvidia’s market share in China has fallen from 95% to 50%, attributing this decline to empowered domestic players like Huawei.
