"China Bans Intel and AMD Chips in Government Computers, FT Reports"

China has issued guidelines to phase out U.S. microprocessors from Intel and AMD, along with Microsoft's Windows operating system and foreign-made database software, from government personal computers and servers in favor of domestic options. Government agencies have been instructed to prioritize "safe and reliable" processors and operating systems from Chinese companies. This move aligns with China's efforts to reduce reliance on foreign technology and boost domestic semiconductor production, while the U.S. has also been working to strengthen its semiconductor industry through initiatives like the CHIPS and Science Act.
