The Trump administration is considering sanctions that would prevent Chinese accounting firm from purchasing American technology and is examining whether to deny US citizens service of this Chinese firm, as per the Thursday’s New York Times.
Currently, there is rising low-cost AI model called DeepSeek in China, which poses a threat to the ecosystem. The US government has since sought to reign in the Chinese start-up and its support from chip maker Nvidia.
Some of the main attempts to limit exports to China have been on Nvidia’s AI chips, as the U.S. government tries to prevent the state from gaining access to the most superior chips for AI applications.
The administration in the week sought to impose new limits on Nvidia’s sale of artificial intelligence chips to china.
Specifically, the U.S. House Select Committee on China has claimed that “it has written a letter to Nvidia questioning its sales to China and South-east Asia to determine how it supplied the chips that powered DeepSeek’s AI models while being aware of the export ban to China,” according to a report.
Facing such issues Nvidia warned users of $5.5bn reduction because Washington limited exports of its H20 AI chip to China. The new move to limit H20 shipment is part of Trump’s continued attempts to curb China’s purchase of high-end semiconductors.
Since the year 2022, the United States has imposed a restriction on Nvidia’s high-end chips products that could be utilized by China for bolstering its military might.
However none of DeepSeek, White house or the Commerce Department felt free to respond to questions from Reporters.
