China’s new policies encourage U.S. and foreign semiconductor companies—including those from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau—to transfer certain technology, intellectual property (IP), talent, and research and development (R&D) to operations in China. These policies target capabilities across the semiconductor value chain, including integrated circuit (IC) design, fabrication, equipment, software design and tools, packaging and testing, and materials. These policies offer preferential terms over the next ten years—including tax, tariff, financing, and IP protection—for firms willing to establish capabilities, including production facilities, in China. These policies require companies to transfer certain IP—including a specific number of invention patents, depending on the subsector—to ownership by a China-based business that is legally separate from its corporate parent, potentially giving the Chinese government greater control over certain technologies, including through the use of China’s new export control law.

Better late than never. But you’re about 20 years too late.
Stupid American’s have slit their own throats.
These days those 30 pieces of silver often come with Chinese mint marks.
Oh, and I’ve tried to avoid ChiCom goods, and encourage others likewise, since the 90s for what it is worth.
The same here, since the 90’s, which is after college, for me.
It became a passion for me, however, once I had to work with the b_stards.
Mao was a real pig of a human being, as Americans will be forced to discover.
The ChiComs still honor the butcher.
How about doing what probably should have been done long ago. Make China either bow to real meaningful human rights policies or get cut off at the knees.
