The recent US-China bilateral meetings in Beijing revolved around various economic issues, with trade representatives seeking common ground. However, semiconductor export controls were notably absent from the agenda. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reported this omission during an interview with Bloomberg TV.
Despite rising tensions over technology transfers, the discussions did not prioritize chip controls. This lack of focus comes as the Biden administration navigates complex relationships with China. Meanwhile, reports emerged suggesting that Nvidia secured approvals to sell H200 chips to several Chinese firms after President Xi Jinping’s recent meeting.
The decision to bypass chip exports in dialogue reflects a potential shift in priorities. Greer emphasized that other economic matters took precedence during this week’s discussions. This could signal a strategic approach to avoid escalating trade friction over semiconductors.
The absence of semiconductor controls from the talks may have significant implications for the tech landscape in both nations. As the US continues to tighten restrictions on chip technologies, China remains under pressure to secure its tech supply chains. The ramifications could shape future trade relations and technological advancements.
