Biden administration launches “Section 301” investigation into China’s chip production.
We’ve heard a lot about the US government putting limitations on foreign production of advanced chips for AI, but this investigation targets China’s dominance in producing older “foundational semiconductors” that you can find in pretty much any kind of device.
According to the NYT:
The probe could ultimately result in tariffs or other measures to block Chinese chips from entering U.S. markets, though the decision of which, if any approach to take would fall to the incoming Trump administration.
