USA tightens rules for chip exports, China reacts angrily. USA wants to slow down China in the field of artificial intelligence with even stricter export restrictions.
China's Ministry of Commerce criticizes the move. As with previous rule changes, the US government justifies its trade restrictions as national security measures. The country is ready to work with all parties to "promote the security and stability of the global semiconductor industry and its supply chains," said a spokesman. The US fears that its emerging technology sector could help China strengthen its military.
