China responds to US tech penalties, prohibits Intel and AMD CPUs, GPUs in government PCs
Reacting to increasing penalties on tech goods from the US and its allies, China has introduced new rules that essentially block Intel and AMD items from computers on government-run networks and systems.
China has introduced measures to gradually eliminate U.S. microprocessors from government-owned computers and servers, according to a Financial Times report on Sunday. The directive also seeks to replace Microsoft's Windows operating system and foreign-manufactured database software with homegrown options.
The report indicates that government bodies higher than the township level have been directed to give preference to "safe and reliable" processors and operating systems when making purchases.
In late December, China's industrial department released a statement detailing CPUs, operating systems, and centralized databases. According to Reuters, these have been classified as "safe and reliable" for a duration of three years and are all procured from Chinese firms.
The Information Office of the State Council, which handles media inquiries for China's government cabinet, did not promptly respond to requests for comment. Intel and AMD also did not respond immediately to requests for comment from Reuters.
The decision is part of the US's attempts to strengthen local semiconductor production and decrease dependence on China and Taiwan, as detailed in the Biden administration's 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. The legislation strives to support US semiconductors and provides financial assistance for local production, inclusive of grants for the creation of sophisticated chips.
