The U.S., Japan and the Netherlands Mull New Restrictions on China's Tech Sector
While the United States is starting to have limited success in getting other countries to take a tougher line on China's tech sector, Washington will likely still make unilateral moves that go beyond any agreement it signs with other governments to target Chinese companies and further disrupt Beijing's tech ambitions. On Jan. 27, the United States reached a deal with the Netherlands and Japan to broaden the latter two countries' restrictions on exports of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China, including some of the immersion lithography machines produced by the Dutch firm ASML and Japanese firm Nikon, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is allegedly also considering cutting off Chinese tech giant Huawei from all U.S. exports and U.S.-made technology, and has stopped approving licenses for companies to export to the company, according to separate reports published on Jan. 30 by Bloomberg and

The U.S. Deals China's Semiconductor Sector With Its Biggest Blow Yet
New U.S. export controls on China's semiconductor industry will shatter Chinese President Xi Jinping's ambitions to close China's gap with global peers in the short term. They could also lead to more aggressive Chinese retaliation once his political leadership is cemented. On Oct. 7, the U.S. Commerce Department announced new regulations to block China's access to chipmaking technology and gear that can be used to manufacture cutting-edge logic and memory chips. The regulations also block exports to China of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing chips (i.e., chips used in supercomputers). Although the regulations have been in the works for months, the announcement came less than 10 days before the opening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, during which Xi is expected to formally be granted a third five-year term as the Party's leader. The timing of the moves meant that China's semiconductor industry --

The U.S. Weaponizes COVID-19 Anger Against China’s Tech Sector
The United States and China have been locked in a technology cold war for several years. The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, is now pressuring Washington to make even stronger moves against Beijing by fueling anti-China sentiment among U.S. voters and legislators alike. But the White House’s latest attempt to increase export controls on China and limit Beijing's overall access to U.S. technology will come at the cost of further fragmenting the global tech sector’s highly integrated supply chain network.

China's Virus Outbreak Has Dented Its Automakers' Bottom Lines
China’s deadly coronavirus outbreak has left few of its economic sectors unscathed, but the effects of shutdowns on its auto manufacturing operations have been -- and will continue to remain -- especially acute. Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, has asked companies not to restart shuttered operations until at least Feb. 21. Production for a number of auto companies outside of Hubei had already been delayed past the Lunar New Year holiday until Feb. 10, and in some cases, production still remains offline. Nevertheless, even once the outbreak subsides, Chinese consumer demand for automobiles will take a substantial hit this year, with estimates showing that demand could fall by at least 5 percent because of the economic slowdown associated with the coronavirus outbreak.
