Only a few weeks after the U.S. and China made vital steps to de-escalate the growing trade war between the 2 nations, tensions are flaring once more — this time over semiconductors.
China’s Commerce Ministry in Beijing launched a press release on Wednesday that threatened authorized motion towards anybody who enforces U.S. export restrictions on Huawei’s AI chips, in line with reporting from Bloomberg.
This assertion is in response to a set of “pointers” launched by the Trump administration on Could 13 — alongside the revocation of Joe Biden’s Synthetic Intelligence Diffusion rule — that reminded firms that utilizing Huawei’s Ascend AI chips “anyplace on the earth” was a violation of U.S. export guidelines.
Earlier this week, China stated the Trump administration had undermined recent trade talks by issuing that steerage.
The U.S. Commerce Division has since modified the wording of its authentic Could 13 steerage to take away the “anyplace on the earth” phrase, in line with Bloomberg.
