Tensions between the US and China are rising significantly as the Biden administration intensifies efforts to restrict access to advanced computer chips for China and Russia. Recently, Nvidia and Supermicro have come under scrutiny, with the US government pressing them to investigate how their chips ended up in China, including issues surrounding illicit procurement and forged server serial numbers. Reports indicate that existing US efforts to curb technology access are seen as inadequate, prompting calls for tighter export controls and new regulations. Amid these developments, China’s chip industry is facing challenges, with a reported slowdown in production and a rise in stockpiles. The situation reflects the increasing stakes in the semiconductor race and the broader tech war between the two nations.
