川普內閣因輝達事件爆衝突 傳貝森特質問盧特尼克為何不列管

財政部長要求商務部解釋為何尚未禁止向涉及輝達中國間諜案的新加坡公司出售先進AI晶片

Quick Look

美國財政部長貝森特質疑商務部長盧特尼克,要求解釋為何尚未禁止向新加坡公司Megaspeed出售先進AI晶片,該公司涉及輝達中國間諜案。此事凸顯川普政府內部在AI政策上的緊張局勢,雙方未就報導回應置評。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

自2022年底以來,美國已對直接向中國出售先進晶片實施限制。Megaspeed等公司透過在東南亞建立資料中心來規避這些規範,以滿足中國客戶的需求。美國官員也一直在調查Megaspeed是否可能將這些晶片非法轉移到中國,Megaspeed則持續否認相關指控。

美國財政部長貝森特就商務部長盧特尼克處理新加坡資料中心公司Megaspeed一事質問了他,要求商務部解釋為什麼美國還沒有禁止向該公司出售先進的AI晶片,這家公司正是近期輝達捲入中國間諜案的核心。

《紐約時報》報導,知情人士表示,這次對話凸顯出川普政府內部在AI政策方面日益緊張的局勢,以及商務部對輝達的態度。在輝達執行長黃仁勳承認與Megaspeed前高階主管婚外情之後,美國政府內部的爭論愈演愈烈。據報導,美國情報部門已確認名叫黃樂的女子是中國公民,並為中國國家安全部工作。

知情人士透露,盧特尼克回應貝森特說,商務部現在可以迅速採取行動,對Megaspeed實施限制。針對報導內容,商務部和財務部均未回應。

近幾個月來,關於如何監管美國技術的爭論日益加劇,其他部門與負責監管技術出口規範的商務部官員之間的分歧也愈來愈大。美國商務部最有力的措施之一是實體清單,這是一份貿易黑名單。美國企業未經政府許可,不得向實體清單上的任何公司出口產品。

Candidates for district chief suggested asking spinal cord patients to move out. Chen Zhizhong angrily criticized: KMT and Zheng Liwen made it clear

The political statement of Ma Longrong, the KMT's candidate for Zhongchun District Chief in Qianzhen District, Kaohsiung City, mentioned that he "plans to ask the Social Affairs Bureau to move people with spinal cord injuries out of the community," triggering strong condemnation from former Kaohsiung City Councilor Chen Zhizhong and DPP Qianzhen Xiaogang District Councilor Huang Yanyu. Chen Zhizhong said that his mother has been in a wheelchair for more than 40 years. He criticized the statement as cold-blooded and cruel, and demanded that the Kuomintang and Cheng Liwen apologize and clarify. Ma Longrong later clarified that the posting was a mistake, saying that an old internal file of residents' complaints was accidentally listed by the administrator, and apologized to netizens. Huang Yanyu criticized him for blaming management problems on vulnerable groups and then shirk responsibility afterwards, demanding that he admit his mistakes head-on.
