The US Department of Commerce has announced that Huawei's production of AI chips in 2025 will be severely limited due to export controls. According to a senior official, the company will only be able to produce around 200,000 units of its Ascend AI chips, which will primarily be used for domestic Chinese markets. The official stated that the US is strengthening its export control enforcement, with plans to increase funding and personnel to prevent China's advancement in the field of advanced semiconductors. The US has also emphasized that it has halted the issuance of export licenses to companies, including Huawei and SMIC, that have been added to the Entity List. Furthermore, the official highlighted the issue of US chips being smuggled into restricted countries, calling for continued strengthening of regulations. This move is part of the US government's efforts to restrict China's access to advanced technology and maintain its competitive edge in the global market.
