Just some weeks after the U.S. and China made important 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 in opposition to anybody who enforces U.S. export restrictions on Huawei’s AI chips, in accordance with reporting from Bloomberg.
This assertion is in response to a set of “guidelines” launched by the Trump administration on Might 13 — alongside the revocation of Joe Biden’s Synthetic Intelligence Diffusion rule — that reminded corporations that utilizing Huawei’s Ascend AI chips “wherever on this planet” 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 unique Might 13 steerage to take away the “wherever on this planet” phrase, in accordance with Bloomberg.
