With Huawei quietly present across the Chinese semiconductor supply chain and its role serving national, military, and strategic goals, it is becoming ever more dificult to ensure that products delivered to China are not diverted to the military or other restricted end uses.
New restrictions on semiconductor exports to China are scrambling sales and fueling concerns that the Chinese tech giant will become a chip-making powerhouse. American chip companies worry Huawei could become a major rival for A.I. chips. Aly Song/Reuters Tripp Mickle reports on the chip industry from San Francisco.
These new chips are poised to fill a void left by U.S. export restrictions that have curbed China’s access to top-tier AI accelerators from U.S. firms like Nvidia. Huawei’s move not only underscores China’s determination to forge ahead in semiconductor self-reliance, but also foreshadows a potential reordering of the global AI supply chain.
Huawei’s push into high-end AI chips is occurring against the backdrop of an intensifying tech “cold war” between the United States and China. Washington has imposed successive rounds of export controls to limit China’s access to cutting-edge semiconductors, citing national security concerns.
