According to Taiwan's "Economy**" on December 12**,U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo said that the United States is discussing with Nvidia the issue of allowing the sale of AI chips to China, but stressed that Nvidia cannot sell the most advanced chips to Chinese companies. She also said that the United States is carefully studying the details of the three AI chips that Nvidia is developing for China.
According to reports, Raimondo said in an interview with Reuters on the 11th: "Nvidia can, will and should sell AI chips to China, because most AI chips will be used for commercial applications." We can't allow Nvidia to export the most complex and powerful AI chips.
This statement contrasts with the latest call for a total "ban". On December 2, local time, Raimondo warned American companies not to sell AI chips to China on the grounds of the so-called "**" at the Reagan Defense Forum.
In response, Chinese spokesman Wang Wenbin responded at a regular press conference held on December 4 that the United States should establish a correct understanding of China, work with China to earnestly implement the important consensus reached at the China-US summit in San Francisco, stop treating China as an "imaginary enemy", and correct the erroneous behavior of engaging in major power confrontation under the guise of competition.
