Biden Administration Tightens Export Controls on AI Chips to China

The Biden administration has introduced new rules further restricting the types of semiconductors US companies can export to China, aiming to close loopholes.

The updated regulations expand export controls to 21 other countries beyond just China and Macao.

Advanced AI chips like Nvidia's H800 and A800 products will be affected, but chips for phones, cars, etc. are exempt.

China has criticized the new US export controls, vowing to protect its rights and tech ambitions.

The US Commerce Department added 13 more Chinese firms to an export control list over national security concerns.
