China considers tighter export controls on homegrown AI and semiconductor technology
China is weighing measures to manage homegrown AI models and semiconductors as strategic national assets, including possible export controls, a report said. Draft rules have not been disclosed. The move comes as the United States has tightened curbs on chip and chipmaking technology exports to China since October 2022. Research groups said China is shifting from acquiring foreign technology to managing exports of its own capabilities, while enforcement could be complicated by grey-market channels.
