Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responds to questions from journalists regarding the US approval of sales of NVIDIA's H20 chips to China.

On July 18th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responded to questions from reporters regarding the US approval of the sale of the Nvidia H20 chip to China. The spokesperson stated that after the China-US economic and trade talks in London, both sides maintained close communication, confirmed the details of the London framework, and progressed with the relevant implementation work. China approved the export of controlled items that met the conditions in accordance with the law, and the US subsequently canceled the restrictions on China discussed during the talks in early July. It was noted that the US recently voluntarily announced the approval of the sale of Nvidia H20 chips to China. China believes that the US should abandon zero-sum thinking and continue to lift a series of unreasonable economic and trade restrictions on China. Cooperation and win-win between China and the US is the right path, and suppressing and restraining have no way out. In May of this year, the US issued export control guidelines for Huawei's Ascend chips, intensifying control over Chinese chip products under false pretenses and intervening in market competition with administrative power, severely damaging the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. China has firmly clarified its position and strongly opposes this. We look forward to the US and China moving towards each other, correcting their mistakes through equal consultations, creating a favorable environment for mutual beneficial cooperation between the enterprises of both sides, and jointly maintaining the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain.
