The USA, which has imposed an embargo on some Chinese technology companies due to allegations of espionage in the past years, will add new ones to the list. According to The New York Times, White House officials will block the sale of components used in supercomputer production in the Chinese market.
The allegations, first made by Trump in 2019, caused Huawei to restrict product sales in the US market. Allegedly, Joe Biden will expand the scope of the embargo by adding other institutions, especially state research laboratories.
US to impose supercomputer embargo on China
According to the news published by Reuters, the US administration wants to intervene in the developing semiconductor industry in China. The USA, which is at the top of the list of advanced supercomputers, will set an export limit to China, which is in an advantageous position in terms of the number of systems.
Companies around the world will be prohibited from selling any American-made technology to entities on the embargo list. It is estimated that the measures to be taken will affect not only the Chinese government, but also academic institutions and technology companies such as Alibaba.
