China Implements Ban on US Computer Chips in Government Computers

China has banned the use of US processors from AMD and Intel in government computers and servers, along with Microsoft Windows and foreign database products, in favor of domestic solutions. The move is the latest in the ongoing tech trade war between the US and China, and could significantly impact Intel and AMD. This is China's most aggressive move yet to restrict the use of US-built technology, and comes amid a broader trend of countries tightening export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

"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.
