The USTR launched a probe into China's plans to dominate legacy chip markets, citing unfair trade practices that threaten US national security and domestic supply chains.
China aims to produce over 60% of the world's new legacy chip capacity, and this trend is discouraging investment elsewhere, as highlighted by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
Research indicates that two-thirds of US products with chips use Chinese legacy chips, alarming defense industry circles that half of US companies are unaware of chip origins.
The USTR's investigation focuses on the manufacturing of foundational semiconductors, assessing their role in critical industries and seeking measures to address China’s alleged anticompetitive behavior.
