The U.S. Commerce Department informed major firms like Synopsys and Cadence that government approval is no longer needed for transactions in China. This decision aligns with recent trade negotiations, as China shows willingness to resume exchanges of rare earth materials and advanced technology, marking a significant step towards stabilizing economic ties between the U.S. and China. The Trump administration has removed export license requirements for U.S. chip design software sales in China, easing a key trade restriction amid improving U.S.–China relations. Bloomberg News said that the U.S. Commerce Department notified top global chip design software firms — Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems, and Siemens — that they no longer need government approval for business dealings in China. This move follows recent developments in trade negotiations, with China signaling progress toward a truce and agreeing conditionally to resume exchanges of rare earth materials and advanced tech. The policy rollback marks a significant step in implementing the broader trade deal aimed at stabilizing economic ties between the two countries. ### Related Stocks - [SNPS.US - Synopsys](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SNPS.US.md) - [CADE.US - Cadence Bank](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CADE.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | NVIDIA’s 13F Bombshell: A New AI Power Trio Emerges | NVIDIA's Q4 2025 13F filing reveals significant shifts in its public equity portfolio, adding Intel, Synopsys, and Nokia | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276480737.md) | | Prediction: This Will Be Nvidia's Stock Price in 5 Years | Prediction: This Will Be Nvidia's Stock Price in 5 Years | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276517483.md) | | Towle & Co.
