The Effects Of Chip And Technological Decoupling Are Becoming Increasingly Evident

The US’s recent issuance of export control measures has dealt a heavy blow to CCP’s chip industry. Last week, the US Department of Commerce passed a sweeping set of export regulations aimed at restricting the advance of Beijing’ chip industry. It will prevent CCP’s research labs and commercial data centers from access to high-end artificial intelligence chips, while blocking its chipmakers from purchasing critical manufacturing equipment. The restrictions would also force U.S. citizens working for CCP’s chip companies to resign.

Some of the top chip equipment manufacturers have told their American employees in the Communist China to stop participating in the development of components and machines in order to comply with US restrictions on their citizens’ involvement in key CCP facilities.

In addition, Apple has ut on hold the plans to use chips of CCP’s Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp in its products. As chip decoupling progressed, the share prices of the CCP’s technological giants and chipmakers with plants in Communist China plunged in response to the curbs last week. Meanwhile, the CCP’s increasingly strict restrictions and lockdown in various areas on the pretext of pandemic have made most foreign-capital companies in the Communist China choose to divest.
