Beijing has announced its plan to eliminate American-made semiconductor chips from Chinese telecommunications systems by 2027, which is expected to affect US chip manufacturers such as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
Chip Wars Escalate
This development has significant implications for US chip manufacturers like Intel and AMD, as China is a crucial market for them. It highlights the ongoing tension between the US and China in the technology sector and the growing push for technological independence.
The Breakdown
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is leading the effort to replace American-made core chips in China's telecom infrastructure.
The regulator has ordered state-owned mobile operators to inspect networks and provide a timeline for replacing foreign chips.
The US has already banned Chinese chips from telecom equipment over national security risks and has restricted AMD and Nvidia from selling advanced chips to China.
China introduced guidelines in March to phase out Intel and AMD chips from government computers and servers.
