U.S.-China Tensions Escalate: Trump’s New Export Ban Targets Chinese Tech | Trade War 2.0?
The U.S.-China rivalry is heating up again—this time with a massive shift in export control policy. The Trump administration just closed a critical loophole that allowed Chinese tech giants like Huawei to keep accessing U.S. semiconductor technology. Now, all subsidiaries of Entity List companies are automatically blacklisted—a move that’s set to impact thousands of firms and escalate the trade war even further.
But is Washington shooting itself in the foot? The U.S. still relies heavily on critical minerals from China, which Beijing could restrict in retaliation. Meanwhile, Trump is also pushing forward on military production, adding a strategic dimension to the tech war.
