Chinese authorities have asked telecom carriers to discontinue the use of foreign chips by 2027, according to a report. The development will directly impact Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), two key US chipmakers.
The move appears to be part of China’s wide-scale efforts to decrease its dependence on Western-made technology. The Asian giant is switching to domestic alternatives amid ongoing Sino-US tensions. The development comes as the US tightens curbs on high-tech exports to its rival countries.
