Lots of reasons, Chinese knockoffs hurting US chip R&D, Chinese knockoffs with backdoors that compromise national security, lack of domestic production options which puts the US in danger of being cut off from chips at war time (and chips are used in everything from domestic devices to military devices/weapons systems).
Imagine if the Chinese government could just remote command and control some percentage of the military’s weapon systems and make them fire on the US homeland because the chips have backdoors. Or imagine if they could intercept critical military or otherwise wartime communications. Even beyond military uses, chips could be used for corporate espionage revealing trade secrets further accelerating China’s ability to create knockoff products.
US acting like world police any time some country gets to play catch up and use their rule book. The day they limit NSA scans to traffic in their own country I’ll take their claims at face value.
backdoors that compromise national a certain country security
Fixed that for you.
In the mean time I get to “enjoy” backdoors made by both US and China.
