China has accused the United States of fabricating spy narratives, including a claim involving Nvidia’s chief executive, as a pretext to impose a technological blockade on Chinese companies. The accusation was made by Beijing officials in a statement that criticised what they described as “unfounded allegations” used to justify restrictions on technology trade.
According to the statement, the United States has repeatedly used allegations of espionage to justify a series of export controls and sanctions aimed at limiting the flow of advanced technology into China. The Chinese government said that the narrative surrounding Nvidia’s CEO was an example of such “fabricated” claims.
China’s criticism comes amid a broader dispute over technology access. U.S. officials have cited national security concerns as the basis for restricting certain high‑tech exports to China, while Chinese officials argue that the measures are aimed at curbing China’s technological advancement.
While the statement does not detail specific incidents beyond the Nvidia example, it underscores Beijing’s view that the United States is using espionage allegations as a tool to enforce a broader technology blockade against Chinese firms.
