In a move signaling escalating tech tensions between the world’s two largest economies, the United States government has officially halted exports of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and other advanced semiconductor technologies to China.
Officials cited national security concerns, alleging that Chinese firms could repurpose U.S. innovation for military applications. The ban affects software and equipment essential to developing next-generation microchips, potentially stalling China’s progress in building a self-reliant tech ecosystem.
