The House of Representatives on Monday passed a bipartisan bill that expands U.S. export controls to restrict Chinese companies’ ability to remotely access advanced American AI chips at data centers outside China.
The bill, the Remote Access Security Act, is the latest step in Washington’s effort to limit China’s use of critical U.S. technologies due to national security concerns. It is aimed at regulating Chinese companies that use cloud computing services to rent servers equipped with Nvidia’s AI chips at data centers located in Southeast Asia or other regions outside China.
Such offshore arrangements have become common among Chinese companies as a way to get around U.S. export controls that ban the sale of advanced U.S. chips to China. The demand from Chinese companies has helped accelerate the construction of more AI data centers in Southeast Asia. If the bill passes the Senate and becomes law, it could have a big impact on existing cloud server deals involving Chinese companies.
“This bill brings our laws into the digital age and makes it clear that cloud compute is subject to U.S. export control law, just like physical chips. Closing these loopholes will strengthen U.S. national security and protect American innovation,” said John Moolenaar, chairman of the U.S. House Select Committee on China.
