Amazon and Microsoft Support Restrictions on Nvidia Chip Exports to China

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Amazon has joined Microsoft in supporting legislation aimed at further restricting Nvidia's ability to export chips to China. This legislative move reflects growing concern within the tech sector regarding national security and competition with China. Amazon and Microsoft, two cloud computing giants, have expressed support for measures that could limit Chinese companies' access to advanced semiconductors. The bill, currently under discussion in Congress, seeks to strengthen controls on the export of high-performance chips, which are critical for the development of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. Representatives from Amazon and Microsoft stated that they back the initiative, which is aimed at protecting U.S. technological advantages and preventing the use of their technologies for military purposes.
