Chip war: China’s semiconductor imports expand ahead of tightened US restrictions

Quick Summary:

From January to November, China imported a total of 501.47 billion integrated circuits, up 14.8 per cent from the same period last year.

The sweeping new semiconductor restrictions rolled out by Washington aims to curb China’s ability to develop and produce advanced chips critical to military technologies, artificial intelligence and hi-tech weaponry.

It bars the export to China of US-origin and foreign-made HBM chips to prevent Beijing from building its AI capabilities for military applications.
