China strikes back against US technology sanctions, prohibits Intel and AMD CPUs, GPUs in state computers
China has issued new policies in reaction to increasing sanctions on technological goods from the US and its partners. These rules effectively exclude Intel and AMD products from computers on government-controlled networks and systems.
China has revealed a plan targeting the gradual removal of U.S. microprocessors from government PCs and servers, as the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The goal of the order is also to reduce the usage of Microsoft's Windows operating system and overseas database software, and instead replace them with local substitutes.
The report indicates that government bodies beyond the township level have been directed to give preference to "secure and dependable" processors and operating systems when making purchases.
In late December, China's industrial department released a statement detailing CPUs, operating systems, and centralized databases, all obtained from Chinese firms, which were considered "safe and reliable" for a span of three years, as verified by Reuters.
The Information Office of the State Council, which handles media inquiries for China's government, did not promptly reply to requests for remarks. Similarly, Intel and AMD did not provide immediate responses to solicitations for comments from Reuters.
The decision is part of the US's initiative to enhance local semiconductor manufacturing and diminish dependence on China and Taiwan, as detailed in the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act proposed by the Biden administration. The legislation is intended to strengthen the US semiconductor industry and provides monetary support for local production, incorporating grants for the creation of sophisticated chips.
