The United States has demanded that the two companies stop exporting top-of-the-line chips to China
Recently, the United States asked two U.S. companies to stop exporting two top computing chips to China for artificial intelligence work. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce firmly opposed this response.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 1st that the US side politicized, instrumentalized, and weaponized science and technology and economic and trade issues, engaged in technological blockade, decoupled technology, vainly attempted to monopolize the world's advanced science and technology, maintain its own scientific and technological hegemony, and undermine the global industrial chain and supply chain of close cooperation, which is doomed to failure.
Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting also said on the 1st that the United States continues to abuse export control measures to restrict the export of semiconductor-related items to China, and the Chinese side is firmly opposed to this, and the United States should immediately stop its wrong practices.
Shares of Nvidia and AMD (Chaowei Semiconductor), which are directly affected by the new US restrictions, fell in response, reaching 6.6% and 3.7% respectively on August 31. Nvidia said its potential sales of $400 million this quarter are likely to evaporate.
