The repercussions of the espionage scandal continue. US Secretary of Commerce may be fired

US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said there was a growing consensus in Congress to limit chip exports to China following the departure of Huang, who tried to maintain access to the Chinese market and had close ties with US President Donald Trump.

Members of Congress from both parties have also called for tighter restrictions on China's access to advanced artificial intelligence chips.

Johnson, a Republican from the state of Louisiana, told reporters at the Congress building that he was in favor of limiting advanced technology access to China and said, "Chip export controls to China have been a big issue here. I think there is a developing consensus in Congress that this is an important stance to take."

A Senate aide who spoke on condition of anonymity said congressional Republicans want to include new restrictions on exports of advanced artificial intelligence chips to China in the bipartisan annual defense budget bill.

According to statements made since Monday, members of Congress have accelerated their efforts to pass at least four bills regarding chip exports.

In this context, the AI ​​Overwatch Act will give Congress more authority over the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips, while the Chip Security Act will require companies to track the location of advanced artificial intelligence processors in order to prevent smuggling.

The Match Act would put pressure on U.S. allies to restrict the sale and maintenance of advanced chipmaking equipment shipped to China, while the Remote Access Security Act would give the Commerce Department the authority to stop Chinese companies from renting data centers abroad to access Nvidia chips.

According to Reuters, Chinese artificial intelligence companies are trying to rent Nvidia-backed computing capacity outside China out of concern that allegations about Jensen Huang will prompt Washington to tighten remote access restrictions.
