Bloomberg News quoted sources as saying that industry players including Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm, during talks with White House officials, called on the US government to postpone the implementation of a new wave of restrictions on exports to China and to carefully consider the impact of continuing the export ban on China.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon all believe that continuing the export ban to China will ultimately affect the United States' position in the development of the semiconductor industry.
However, sources said White House officials have not responded or made any commitment to this, and industry players including Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm have not commented on the content of the Bloomberg News report.
Prior to this, the US government banned US chip and software companies from exporting specific technology products to China on the grounds of concerns about the impact on national security. These products included acceleration chip products used for artificial intelligence technology training or 5G network-related chip products. In addition, software used in related technology fields was also on the banned export list and could only be exported to the Chinese market under specific circumstances.
Many believe that this move by the US government will lead to self-restriction and prompt the Chinese government to further encourage domestic businesses to expand and develop cutting-edge technologies such as the chip industry and artificial intelligence, and may even surpass the development progress of US businesses. Therefore, many businesses are worried that the US government's export ban on China will not only fail to achieve the restrictive effect, but will instead cause US businesses to lose development opportunities in the world's largest export market, and also cause the United States to lose its leading position in the development of cutting-edge technologies.
