AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su visited China this week, including a stop at Lenovo’s headquarters in Beijing, as the Trump administration signaled it may ease restrictions on certain US chip exports to China, according to media reports.
Su met senior Lenovo executives and toured the company’s technology facilities, including its work on humanoid robotics.

Images of the visit circulated on Chinese social media, while Lenovo acknowledged the meeting through its official account. AMD did not comment publicly on Su’s travel schedule.
The visit comes days after President Donald Trump said the US would allow Nvidia to ship some advanced chips to approved Chinese customers under a revenue-sharing arrangement with Washington. Trump indicated similar terms could apply to AMD and Intel.
China is AMD’s largest market outside the United States, accounting for about $6.2 billion in revenue in 2024.
Despite possible easing, US chipmakers continue to face headwinds as Beijing limits the use of foreign AI chips in state-backed projects.
