Global chip confrontation is in full swing. The US Senate Committee on Homeland Security concludes that current restrictions on semiconductors are insufficient

During a hearing on February 27 before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, a panel of experts stated that U.S. semiconductor companies mostly produce their chips in China and other Asian countries, from where they are distributed worldwide.

This makes it difficult to establish and track who exactly is buying American products, which ultimately leads to access to American technology by China, Russia, Iran, and other autocracies.

The United States’ application of large-scale sanctions does not produce the desired result due to export control violations. Most of the chips produced in their territory end up in recipient countries with authoritarian forms of government.
