The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs on imports of Chinese semiconductors over concerns about Beijing\u2019s ambition to dominate the chip industry, but the actual implementation of the tariffs will be delayed until at least June 2027, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n
The tariff rate will be announced no later than 30 days before it takes effect. The decision follows a year-long investigation under Section 301 into China\u2019s unfair trade practices, which focused on U.S. imports of so-called legacy chips. The investigation was launched under the administration of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said China\u2019s targeted policy aimed at dominating the semiconductor industry is unjustified and restricts U.S. trade, and therefore could warrant trade sanctions.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s embassy in Washington opposed any tariffs, warning that politicizing trade and \u201cweaponizing trade and technology\u201d would destabilize global production and supply chains and ultimately backfire. Beijing also said it is ready to take all necessary measures to protect its legitimate interests.<\/p>\n
As part of talks with China, Washington has also postponed the introduction of new restrictions on exports of U.S. technologies to subsidiaries of already sanctioned Chinese companies. Meanwhile, the industry is awaiting the outcome of a broader Section 232 investigation into semiconductor imports from around the world on national security grounds. If completed, the U.S. could impose additional tariffs not only on Chinese chips but also on a wide range of electronics from other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150894,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150893","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150893"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150893"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
