| US probes another Chinese chip "threat" Worried about legacy chips now The US has announced a probe into how its firms buy Chinese-made chips, under the unproven claim that they could pose a danger to national security. The investigation will start in January 2024 and will look at legacy chips which are older than Joe Biden but vital for many industries. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said there were signs that China was trying to take over the legacy chip market and squeeze out US rivals. She said the chips were crucial for telecoms, cars, and defence. She added that the probe would collect data from US firms to see how much they depend on Chinese chips. The data would help the US to "build strong, diverse and resilient" chip supplies, she said. A report this month by a cross-party group of lawmakers urged the department to slap tariffs on Chinese legacy chips. https://fudzilla.com/news/pc-hardwar...se-tech-threat |
