US expands chip export curbs to China to throttle AI, supercomputer development
The US is imposing additional export curbs to restrict China from accessing advanced chips for AI and supercomputers, expanding a technology trade war that has intensified over the last year, broadly impacting the global semiconductor supply chain.
The US — which began to impose restrictions on semiconductor exports to China in 2015, extending them in 2021 and twice in 2022 — announced Tuesday that is has added new restrictions to stop the flow of advanced chips to Chinese data centers that house supercomputers and infrastructure that supports AI development.
