The United States postponed new restrictions on exporting chips to China. The decision was made against behind the Trump administration who attempted to establish a dialogue on Beijing trading.
The Donald Trump administration has temporarily suspended export control for the supply of technology in China, trying to avoid exacerbation before the new trading negotiations, which should take place in Stockholm. It was reported by eight interlocutors Financial periodsApart from which current and former US officials.
The reason is Trump’s desire to meet with the Chairman of China Xi Jinping until the end of the year.
The U.S. Department of Community, especially the Industry and Security Bureau (BIS), has received an indication of avoiding poor decisions in China.
On Monday, American and Chinese representatives will gather in Stockholm for the third cycle of negotiations, after meetings in Geneva and London.
Although Trump sought to maintain the chances of a personal meeting with SI, some officials believe that such an approach is eliminating Washington of the levers of influence. They remember that Beijing could respond to restrictions on providing critical rare -earth metals, as happened in May.
Back in April, the Trump team informed Nvidia about plans to hinder H20 chip export, specifically created for the Chinese market. This step would be a continuation of the restrictions introduced by the Biden administration about stronger chips. But after the direct lobbying of the general director of Nvidia Jensen Juan, Trump canceled the decision.
The H20 has been the subject of misunderstandings between security services considered to be the threat of chip, and Nvidia, claiming that restrictions will only accelerate technological success in China.
On Monday, a group of twenty experts in the field of security and former officials will appeal to Howard Lutnik’s Minister of Commodity. They consider the decision of the Trump administration with a strategic mistake.
“This step is jealous of the economic and military advantage of the United States in the field of artificial intelligence,” the letter said.
Experts call the H20 “strong accelerator of Chinese AI development”, which is more than H100 chip in the field of “Inrine” -that is, performing AI’s functionality, and not the training of models. They warned that the chip could contribute to the development of autonomous weapons and monitoring systems.
“We really provide infrastructure that lowers the Chinese army,” American representatives for changing the response mentioned in a letter.
Nvidia denies accusations, saying that the H20 is “not strengthening military capabilities”, but helps the United States receive support for those who develop the world.
At the same time, according to one of the former officials, “Trump is really frozen and has provided H20 – one of the most important elements of national security.”
In May, it was learned that the BIS plans to add subsidiaries of Chinese chipmers to the entity list. These aspirations were expressed by Beijing, but restrictions were not published.
The US Department of Trade refused to comment on “frost”, but said Trump did more than the Biden Administration, not limiting the H20. The department emphasized that each application for exporting will be considered alone.
Remember, on June 27, Trump said the United States signed a trade agreement with China without providing additional details. This agreement was the result of initial negotiations in Geneva in early May, after which both parties have been concluded to postpone a massive increase in duties that threaten to paralyze a significant part of the trade between countries.
