U.S. Targets Chinese Legacy Semiconductors, Probes Dependency And Supply Chain Risks

The Biden administration has launched a new probe into legacy Chinese semiconductors. The investigation focuses on China’s production of silicon carbide substrates and other materials used in chip fabrication. The White House argues that China’s non-market policies harm competition and create dangerous supply chain dependencies. The probe seeks to assess U.S. dependency on these legacy chips. The Biden administration has targeted China's tech sector with increased import tariffs on products, including semiconductors.
