The scandal surrounding Nvidia could potentially strain the delicate US-China relationship, according to experts. As calls intensify in Washington to tighten semiconductor export controls, just days before President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Shenzhen, the situation could have significant implications.
Ilaria Mazzocco, a senior fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, suggested that the scandal could have a more substantial impact at the upcoming Trump-Xi meeting in Miami, as well as during the Group of 20 (G20) summit in December. Mazzocco pointed out that the bilateral agreement is built on the leverage each country holds over the other, particularly China's dominance in rare earths, which might restrict the US ability to impose tighter restrictions.
George Chen, a Partner and Chair of Digital Practice at The Asia Group, expressed concerns that the scandal could deepen mistrust between the US and China at a critical juncture in their relationship.
