Another statement from the authorities
The United States will make every effort to prevent China from gaining access to American technologies in the field of semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI), as reported by Bloomberg.
«We cannot allow China to use our most advanced technologies, including semiconductors and AI, to develop its military-industrial complex. We will do everything we can to protect our people, including expanding export controls against China, said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
In October last year, the United States announced the blacklisting of 13 Chinese companies and the expansion of export restrictions on the sale of semiconductors to China. These companies allegedly «act contrary to the interests of the national security and foreign policy of the United States».
In 2022, the Chips and Science Act was signed in the United States, which allocated $52.7 billion for the development of the industry. They should help the US gain an advantage over China in the technology race.
