US lawmakers are pushing for stronger export control measures on semiconductor chips and equipment to China by including three bipartisan bills in the National Defense Authorization Act, spurred by concerns following an espionage-linked controversy involving Nvidia. The bipartisan support targets advanced chip exports and equipment sales to China, with key US politicians pressing for inclusion despite prior opposition and uncertain executive backing.
