"The US government is reportedly considering new export controls that could block a wide range of products made with US software from being shipped to China, in what could become one of Washington's most sweeping trade measures to date. If implemented, the move could disrupt global technology supply chains and heighten uncertainty for multinational manufacturers that rely on US-developed software across their operations."
"The proposal comes as the Trump administration signals a tougher stance on China ahead of a planned meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month. Washington appears to view software as a key point of leverage in its economic rivalry with Beijing, while China continues to dominate the global supply of rare earth elements critical to electronics manufacturing."
US officials are considering export controls that would block a wide range of products made with US-developed software from being shipped to China. The measures would extend export control frameworks to items made anywhere using US software, potentially covering laptops, jet engines, and other products. The proposal is intended as retaliation for China's new rare earth export restrictions and reflects a tougher US stance ahead of a bilateral meeting. The controls could disrupt global technology supply chains, heighten uncertainty for multinational manufacturers, and accelerate the splitting of supply chains into competing geopolitical blocs.
