China Wants US to Relax AI Chip-Export Controls for Trade Deal, FT Reports
UNITED STATES, AUG 9 – Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang allegedly exported Nvidia's most powerful AI GPUs to China from 2022 to 2025, violating U.S. export controls aimed at restricting advanced semiconductor access.
- China has requested that Washington ease restrictions on AI-related chip exports as part of the trade discussions leading up to the August 12 deadline.
- This request stems from US restrictions aimed at slowing China's AI and defense tech development while limiting Chinese firms like Huawei from advancing AI chips.
- The US enforces strict measures restricting China's ability to obtain advanced semiconductor technology, while China counters with financial support and a push toward technological independence.
- An insider warned that easing these restrictions would benefit Huawei and SMIC, while experts suggest President Trump might leverage these limitations to arrange a meeting with Xi Jinping.
- The discussions continue amid concerns that easing controls could reshape global tech competition, supply chains, and alliances, while both sides accuse each other of espionage and unfair practices.
