China Says U.S. Moves On Computer Chips, Student Visas 'Seriously Violate' Tariffs Truce

5 weeks ago China has blasted the U.S. for issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. The Commerce Ministry said the moves "seriously violate the consensus” reached at talks last month in Geneva when the nations agreed to radically reduce astronomically high tariffs on each other's exports. China threatened unspecified retaliation in the statement issued Monday. Both countries are in a race to develop advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, with Washington seeking to curb China’s access to the most advanced computer chips.
