China Criticizes US Chip Export Rules Impacting Nvidia And AMD
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
China criticized the U.S. for tightening semiconductor export regulations, impacting Nvidia Corp (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (AMD). The Biden administration's recent rules aim to restrict China's access to U.S. AI chips and chipmaking tools, part of a strategy to limit Beijing's chip manufacturing capabilities over national security concerns. This has led to increased tension between the two nations and instability in the global semiconductor sector. In response, China has seen a significant rise in chipmaking machine imports and initiated a $40 billion state fund to bolster its chip sector. Additionally, Nvidia lost a crucial AI chip order from Baidu Inc (BIDU) to Huawei Technologies due to U.S. sanctions.
