Nvidia CEO's departure could tighten chip exports to China

The possible resignation of the head of the American company Nvidia Jensen Huang could strengthen the position of supporters of tough policy towards China and lead to new restrictions on the export of chips for artificial intelligence (AI). This was reported by the South China Morning Post.

Lin Chen, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, believes that the Huang scandal will complicate the work of supporters of easing export controls. In the short term, it will be more difficult for Washington to maintain technological cooperation with Beijing.

A similar position was expressed by a researcher at the Institute of Asian Society Policy Lizzie Lee. She believes that the situation will give American politicians opposed to China, additional arguments in favor of tightening restrictions on the supply of technology.

Hilton Root, a professor at George Mason University, believes the scandal will not necessarily lead to a rupture of the US-China agreements. But he said Washington would have to show Beijing that economic cooperation could continue while export controls were tightened.
