The chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is calling for a review of the U.S. government’s recent decision to allow Nvidia Corp. to resume sales of a chip to China.

On July 18, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) sent a letter to Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick urging the department not to abandon strict export controls on the H20 graphics processing unit. In his letter, he warned that lifting the ban could advance the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) military AI capabilities and enable Chinese tech companies to capture global AI market share.
