The Battle for Tech Supremacy: China's Huawei vs. US Sanctions
Chip makers Nvidia, Intel, and Qualcomm are pushing back against the Biden administration's efforts to restrict the sale of semiconductors to China, warning that such restrictions would harm their businesses and potentially accelerate China's development of an independent chip industry. The companies have challenged the administration's national security rationale in meetings with officials, urged leaders in Washington to reconsider additional chip controls, and wooed think tanks. Their campaign has contributed to the delay of new restrictions and narrowed the list of changes the administration may make. However, their push has rankled some national security experts and lawmakers who favor confronting Beijing and find it distasteful that the companies are questioning the White House after receiving significant funding through the CHIPS and Science Act.
