China has issued an official warning against the imposition of further export controls on US-made chips, amid the ongoing turmoil surrounding tech giant Nvidia. This was reported by CNA and WECT. The warning follows reports regarding potential involvement of the company in espionage scandals and dramatic changes to its leadership, which have triggered concerns among US administration officials and global markets.

The fallout from the Nvidia scandal may dampen the exuberance surrounding the artificial intelligence sector. Chinese officials stated that any move to restrict access to advanced technologies would disrupt global supply chains. Further details regarding planned measures or the US administration's response have not yet been released.
