#US bans āadvanced techā firms from building facilities in #China for a decade
//US technology firms that receive government funding will be banned from building āadvanced technology facilitiesā in China for a decade, the Biden administration has announced, as it outlined plans to increase domestic production of semiconductors.
The requirements come under the US governmentās near-$53bn (Ā£46bn) plan to scale up manufacturing of semiconductor chips ā the ābrainā in every electronic device from cars to household appliances ā which are predominantly produced in Asia.
The US Chips and Science Act (#Chips), approved by Congress in August, is part of the American response to a long-running technological dispute between Washington and Beijing, as US firms demand more government support to reduce reliance on components produced in Chinese factories...
The Chips Act commits a total of $280bn to hi-tech manufacturing and research, and is designed to increase the USās competitiveness with China.
The US crackdown on the sale of technology to China has already begun to have an impact, with the US chip designer Nvidia disclosing last week that it had been told by US officials to stop exporting two top computing chips for artificial intelligence work to China.//
