China warns against new U.S. export controls on computer chips

China warned the United States on Friday against imposing additional controls on exports of semiconductors in the wake of the scandal surrounding AI chip giant Nvidia and its now-former CEO Jensen Huang. China “has consistently opposed the abuse of export control measures, which disrupts the stability of global industrial and supply chains and serves no party’s interests,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing when asked about calls from U.S. lawmakers to impose more limits on exports of chip equipment to China. “China and the United States should work together to implement the important consensus reached by their respective heads of state and maintain the stable development of China-U.S. economic and trade relations,” Mao said. Jensen Huang — who resigned Thursday — has admitted to an affair, reportedly with Alice Huang, a former senior executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed. They’re not related.
