Amazon and Microsoft Back Effort That Would Restrict Nvidia’s Exports to China

The recent backing of legislation by Amazon and Microsoft to restrict Nvidia's exports to China highlights a growing trend among tech giants to secure preferential access to critical semiconductor resources. This move comes in the context of increasing scrutiny over how Chinese companies access advanced chips, as seen in reports of a Shanghai-based AI firm circumventing U.S. export controls. The interplay between U.S. regulations and global semiconductor supply chains is becoming increasingly complex, with major players like Amazon and Microsoft positioning themselves strategically to maintain their competitive edge.
