Trump is seeking to tighten Biden's chip controls on China, aiming to curb Beijing's ability to produce advanced semiconductors. The move is part of a broader effort to limit China's technological advancements and protect US national security interests.
The proposed controls would build upon existing rules implemented by the Biden administration in December, which targeted China's self-reliance in semiconductor production. Those rules introduced new export controls on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment and imposed restrictions on Chinese companies, including Huawei and SMIC.
The Trump administration's plan would further restrict the sale of US technology to Chinese companies, potentially limiting their ability to produce advanced chips. This could have significant implications for China's tech industry, as well as global supply chains.
It's worth noting that the proposed controls are part of a larger geopolitical tensions between the US and China, with both countries vying for dominance in the tech sector.
