China warns US against further restrictions on chip exports post Nvidia scandal

Beijing, Nov 13 (UNI) China has warned the US against imposing additional export restrictions on semiconductors, following the recent Nvidia scandal which resulted in the resignation of former CEO Jensen Huang with calls emerging in Washington for tighter controls concerning technology export.
“China has consistently opposed the abuse of export control measures, which disrupts the stability of global industrial and supply chains and serves no party's interests,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday when asked about calls by US lawmakers to restrict exports of chipmaking equipment to China, reports CNA News.
“China and the United States should work together to implement the important consensus reached by their respective heads of state and maintain the stable development of China-US economic and trade relations,” she added.
The dispute follows the resignation of Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang on Thursday, after revelations about two alleged extramarital relationships, including one with Alice Huang (no relation), a former senior executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed.
US media reports have alleged that the Commerce Department, led by Secretary Howard Lutnick, failed to act on concerns that Megaspeed was helping divert restricted Nvidia technology to China.
The allegations have prompted calls among US lawmakers for tougher export controls. House Speaker Mike Johnson was quoted as supporting additional restrictions on semiconductor exports to China, saying there was growing congressional agreement on the issue.
“The export controls on chips to China has been a big issue around here. I'm in favour of limiting those exports,” Johnson said.
“I think there is a developing consensus in Congress that is an important position to take.”
US intelligence officials reportedly circulated a memorandum earlier this year alleging that Alice Huang, who also worked in the technology sector in Singapore, was an asset of China's Ministry of State Security.
Beijing has rejected the allegations, describing them as a pretext for imposing a technological blockade aimed at preventing China from advancing its artificial intelligence capabilities.
The controversy comes ahead of an expected meeting next week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Shenzhen, southern China, during an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gathering.
