The Chinese government has given guidelines to eliminate the use of chips from American companies Intel and AMD in the computers and servers of the country’s officials, according to the Financial Times newspaper this Sunday.

According to the Financial Times, Beijing has asked public bodies above the municipality to include criteria that require “secure and reliable” processors and operating systems when making purchases.

The United States wants to increase domestic production of semiconductors and reduce dependence on China and Taiwan. Joe Biden’s government has in fact promoted new legislation to boost American semiconductors, with aid and subsidies for domestic chip production.

Chips are also a key piece in the thriving artificial intelligence sector, unanimously seen as the technology of the future, applicable to multiple areas of the economy.
