EXCERPT:

Terry Daly and Jordan Schneider write in Lawfare that over the past few years, the United States has slowly tightened restrictions around key semiconductor players in China. “Beijing, however, has largely held its nose, content to pour billions into building its own chip ecosystem while refraining from lashing out at foreign firms,” they write.

Many analysts presumed that trade tensions pervading the semiconductor industry would improve with a change in U.S. administrations. This has proved to be unfounded.
