"In order to qualify, license applicants must demonstrate that exporting these products to China will not reduce global semiconductor production capacity currently available to U.S. customers; that the Chinese purchaser has adopted export compliance procedures, including customer screening; and that the product has undergone independent, third-party testing in the United States to verify its performance and security,"

Lawmakers warned that broader access could boost Beijing's AI and military ambitions.
