In Beijing on Friday, the Chinese mainland Ministry of Commerce urged the United States to abandon zero-sum thinking and lift a series of remaining economic and trade restrictions, following Washington's recent approval of Nvidia H20 chip sales to Chinese firms.
"We believe the United States should continue to remove unreasonable measures," a ministry spokesperson said in response to media questions. The approval of the high-end AI acceleration modules marked a slight easing of export controls that have shaped global tech competition in recent years.
For young entrepreneurs and tech innovators from the Chinese mainland and around the world, access to advanced semiconductors is crucial. Industry observers say this move could inject fresh momentum into AI research labs and startups across G20 markets.
As both sides face pressure to stabilize trade ties, many will watch to see whether further curbs are rolled back. With digital transformation on the rise, stakeholders hope this signals a shift toward more open technology flows.
