China Issues New Warning Over US Tech War

China may impose sanctions on companies that comply with U.S. restrictions on its homegrown technology, the Chinese government said on Wednesday. The Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a statement that the latest U.S. industry guidance—warning of possible penalties for American businesses that trade or use Chinese-made integrated circuits—was an "attempt to ban Chinese advanced-computing chips globally."

The U.S. Commerce and Treasury departments did not respond to an emailed request for comment. The Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., told Newsweek it had nothing more to add beyond the ministry's statement. Washington argues that decoupling U.S. and Chinese tech is necessary because American scientific and technological know-how has inadvertently fueled the rapid modernization and expansion of China's armed forces.
