From Wang Wenbin’s Regular Press Conference - the whole thing is worth reading

Reuters: American chip designer Nvidia Corp said on Wednesday that US officials told it to stop exporting two top computing chips for Artificial Intelligence to China. And this move could cripple Chinese firms’ ability to carry out advance work like image recognition. Does the foreign ministry have any comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: What the US has done is typical “sci-tech hegemony”. The US has been stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power. The US seeks to use its technological prowess as an advantage to hobble and suppress the development of emerging markets and developing countries. This violates the rules of the market economy, undermines international economic and trade order and disrupts the stability of global industrial and supply chains. China firmly rejects it.

The US politicizes, instrumentalizes and weaponizes tech and trade issues, and engages in tech blockade and decoupling in an attempt to monopolize the world’s advanced technologies, perpetuate its hegemony in the sci-tech sector, and damage the closely-knit global industrial and supply chains. Such moves will not succeed.
