The new test is to protect chipmakers from oversupply from China.
Joe Biden’s administration has launched an investigation into Chinese semiconductors, saying Chinese subsidies pose risks to the American industry. This was reported by Reuters on Monday, December 23.
A new review by the US Trade Representative’s office aims to prevent chipmakers from oversupplying from China.
Trade Representative Katherine Tai emphasized that China’s subsidy strategy is aimed at global dominance in semiconductor manufacturing, putting American companies at a disadvantage.
The investigation is based on Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which Donald Trump previously used to impose high tariffs on Chinese imports.
In addition, the study will cover the impact of imported chips on the defense, automotive and medical industries, and will also examine the production of silicon carbide wafers for semiconductors.
These measures could be the basis for increasing tariffs on Chinese imports in the future, especially if the Trump administration returns to power.
Let’s remember that after the discovery of TSMC chips in Huawei technologies, the United States introduced new export restrictions for the Taiwanese company.
Earlier it became known that the Russian Federation has at least one Dutch machine for the production of chips that it uses in UAV tanks and missiles.
