Republican Senator Jim Banks and Democrat Elizabeth Warren express concerns over Nvidia's reported plans to open a research facility in Shanghai, citing national security and economic security concerns.
The concern stems from the potential risk of sensitive information being leaked or transferred to China, impacting US national security.
Nvidia spokesperson stated that the new space in China is for existing employees post-COVID return to work and that the scope of work will remain unchanged.
The senators emphasize the importance of Nvidia conducting its innovation within the sphere of close democratic allies and providing detailed information about their China plans by June 20.
