China plays it’s turn as an answer to Huawei’s disregard in US!

China has recently introduced guidelines aimed at curbing the use of American processors from Intel and AMD, as well as foreign database products like Microsoft Windows. According to The Financial Times, the new rules seek to promote domestic solutions while ensuring that government agencies above the township level use computers and servers equipped with hardware which were said to be safe and reliable. Self-manufactured chips were allowed for usage, including Huawei and Phytum, which are banned in the United States.

This move could have significant financial implications for both Intel and AMD. The Financial Times reports that 27% of Intel’s $53 billion in sales were attributed to China, while AMD had 15% of its $23 billion revenue coming from China. However, it’s unclear how many chips are specifically used in the government sector. The decision is widely viewed as a response to the United States’ ban on Chinese chip manufacturers collaborating with American companies and the restriction on Nvidia’s sale of AI-related chips to China. While the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands currently dominate the chip design industry, Chinese companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo are already making strides in developing their solutions.
