The United States government has struck a deal with tech giants Nvidia and AMD, stipulating that both companies must forfeit 15% of their revenue derived from exporting certain chip models to China in exchange for export licenses. These chips are specifically tailored for the Chinese market and exhibit lesser performance capabilities compared to internationally acclaimed mainstream chips. The US government asserts that this measure poses no threat to national security and is intended to bolster fiscal revenue, incentivize domestic investment by American companies, and potentially serve as a model for similar policies in other industries. This development could signal a forthcoming adjustment in the chip export policy towards China.
