The U.S. Department of Commerce warns the world "Do not use Huawei AI chips": Theft of U.S. technology and violation of export controls will result in penalties.

The Trump administration has once again tightened restrictions on China's technological development, warning global companies that using artificial intelligence (AI) chips made by Huawei could face criminal penalties for violating U.S. export controls.

Manufactured using U.S. technology, global companies are warned that the chip should not be used to avoid regulatory sanctions. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), which oversees export controls, announced on Tuesday (13) strengthened regulations for foreign AI chips, specifically emphasizing that the use of Huawei AI chips violates the US export ban, although people familiar with the matter stressed that BIS is not issuing new control rules this time. Instead, it sends a clear message to global companies that Huawei's chip products are likely to have violated existing export control measures, i.e., exporting U.S. technology to Huawei requires obtaining licenses that are extremely difficult to obtain: Issued guidance indicating that the use of Huawei Ascend chips anywhere in the world violates U.S. export controls. Kevin Wolf of Akin Gump Law firm, a veteran export control lawyer, pointed out that the Department of Commerce specifically named the 910B, 910C and 910D chips of Huawei's Ascend series, pointing out that these chips are likely to be made by stealing U.S. technology, so there are concerns about violating export regulations: The guidance is not a new regulation, but a public confirmation of the existing interpretation that anyone, anywhere, Just using Huawei-designed advanced computing (integrated circuits) will violate export control rules. Designed using specific U.S. software or technology, or a direct product using specific U.S. source software or technology – semiconductor manufacturing equipment production, or both Huawei's 910D chip performance catches up with H100 raises U.S. concerns The U.S. government's guidance comes amid growing concerns about Huawei's pace of development in advanced chips and other AI hardware, reportedly saying Huawei has begun delivering its AI chips to Chinese customers, claiming to outperform the U.S. in key metrics such as overall computing and memory AI chip giant Nvidia is launching a similar competitor. It is rumored that the system exported by Huawei relies on a large number of Huawei's own 910C chips, and although the performance of a single 910C chip is not as good as Huida's most advanced products, its collection of server products is said to surpass Huida in terms of overall performance. Recently, Huawei has released the performance parameters of the Ascend 910D, claiming to be benchmarked against the H100 chip launched by NVIDIA in 2022, in addition to the pursuit of overall computing power indicators, it is also set to achieve overtaking in part, and it is expected that shipments are expected to exceed 800,000 pieces in 2025. Customers include China's three largest state-owned telecom operators and large AI developers such as WordDance (ByteDance). However, Huawei also admitted that compared with NVIDIA, its chip manufacturing capacity is still limited by the process level, mainly relying on the 7nm process (SMIC) by domestic foundry partner SMIC, which is a gap with NVIDIA's ability to use TSMC's more advanced process, resulting in Huawei chips still facing challenges in terms of original computing power and power efficiency. US AI export policy adjustment: strengthen the blocking of computing power It is worth noting that the US Department of Commerce also announced the abolition of the "AI Diffusion Rule" on the same day that it issued guidance for Huawei chips. The rule, planned by the previous Biden administration and originally scheduled to take effect on May 15, aims to restrict exports of AI chips to other countries and make it more difficult for China to circumvent existing U.S. export controls. However, the Trump administration's Commerce Department deemed the rule too bureaucratic — despite objections from former Biden administration officials — and said alternatives would be released in the future. At the same time, Huida's special chip H20 produced for China a few days ago is also banned from selling China under Trump's wave of new AI blockade, bringing 5.5 billion loss to Huida, these policies show that the computing power game between China and the United States is no longer as simple as enterprises making products that meet the requirements according to specific specifications and data, and the United States is strengthening various channels for intervening in China to obtain various computing power. The release of this series of policy adjustments coincided with President Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia. During his visit, Trump brokered a series of agreements, including a commitment by Saudi Arabia's newly founded state-owned AI company Humain to use hundreds of thousands of Huida chips to build AI infrastructure. According to sources, these large-scale AI cooperation plans in the Gulf region have shocked many senior Trump administration officials, who are not only worried about the offshoring of large-scale AI infrastructure, but also uneasy about Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and China's cooperation in related fields, so the United States is taking the initiative to reach a cooperative relationship with them.
