US Crackdown on Advanced Chips Creates Opportunities for China’s Old Technology
Friday, 23 August 2024, 12:00
US Export Controls on Advanced Chips
Since 2022, the US has been hyperfocused on restricting Chinese production of high-end semiconductors. The Commerce Department has imposed stifling export controls and allocated tens of billions of dollars in funding to support domestic chip manufacturing.
China’s Response
In response to these restrictions, China is turning to its older technology capabilities, allowing it to maintain production without the latest advancements. This could potentially lead to innovation in more traditional chip designs.
Strategic Implications
- The US restrictions might inadvertently strengthen China's position in older technologies.
- This shift suggests an evolution in how both countries may approach semiconductor production.
