Lisa Su, chair and chief executive of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), began a visit to China on Tuesday, meeting Chinese computer giant Lenovo in Beijing just days after US President Donald Trump said Washington would ease restrictions on certain chip shipments to China.

Su and other AMD executives visited Lenovo’s headquarters, where photos circulating on Chinese social media showed multiple digital screens displaying “Welcome AMD”.

On RedNote, Lenovo’s official account replied to one post with a lighthearted “You’re pretty fast”, effectively acknowledging the meeting.
