US-China Chip Tensions Rise After Nvidia CEO Resignation

cnn.gr (Greek) —

The resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has intensified US pressure for stricter microchip export controls to China, prompting a rebuke from Beijing and escalating the technology conflict between the two nations. Huang resigned Thursday amid reports of a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of espionage. US House Speaker Mike Johnson said consensus is growing in Congress for tighter export restrictions, while China's foreign ministry condemned export control abuses as destabilizing global supply chains. The dispute centers on advanced AI chips. In late 2025, Huang had secured a license to sell Nvidia's H200 chips to China, with 25% of revenue going to the US government.
