China has introduced new rules that prohibit the use of American AMD and Intel processors in government computers and servers, and also block Microsoft Windows and foreign databases in favor of domestic solutions, reports the Financial Times.
Government agencies are now required to use only “safe and reliable” domestic alternatives to AMD and Intel chips, listed on a separate list – there are 18 of them, including products from Huawei and the government-backed company Phytium (both, by the way, are banned in the United States ).
- Last year, China accounted for 27% of Intel's $54 billion in sales and 15% of AMD's $23 billion in revenue (but it is unknown what percentage was used in the public sector).
This step is just the latest in a series of bans aimed at American-made products. Last year, Beijing blocked domestic companies from using Micron chips in critical infrastructure.
The United States also has its own “black list” of Chinese companies – from chip manufacturers to aerospace companies. Previously, the Biden administration banned American companies such as NVIDIA from selling AI and other chips to China.

The US, Japan and the Netherlands dominate advanced processor production and have recently tightened export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment from ASL, Nikon and Tokyo Electron. However, Chinese companies, including Baidu, Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo, have already begun to develop their own analogues.
Last September, China also duplicated a 2019 ban by blocking officials from using iPhones and other foreign-brand smartphones at work.
