Core Viewpoint - The recent bipartisan proposal in the U.S. Congress aims to prohibit the export of advanced AI chips to countries like China and Russia, reinforcing the ongoing trend of tightening technology controls against China [1][3]. Group 1: Legislative Actions - A bipartisan bill led by Republican Senator Peter and Democratic Senator Chris requires the U.S. Department of Commerce to ban exports of AI chips that exceed current licensing standards to China and Russia within the next 30 months [1]. - This legislative move is seen as a counterbalance to potential policy relaxations by the Trump administration regarding technology exports to China [3]. - The proposal reflects a continuation of the alternating tightening and loosening of U.S. chip control policies, which can be traced back to early 2025 when Nvidia's H20 chip was added to the control list [3]. Group 2: Impact on U.S. Companies - Companies like Nvidia and AMD, which had received partial export licenses for certain chips, will find their next-generation products, such as the H200, completely barred from export to China [3]. - The U.S. government's tightening of AI chip exports has led to significant losses for American chip manufacturers, as they can no longer sell high-end GPUs to China, resulting in a substantial loss of orders [4]. Group 3: China's Response - Despite the U.S. tightening its grip on AI chip exports, China's AI development has not stalled; instead, it has accelerated due to a shift towards domestic chip production and self-reliance [3][4]. - Reports indicate that the demand for AI chips in China is increasingly being met by domestic manufacturers, with the market share of local AI chips expected to rise to approximately 40% by 2026 [4].
