China U.S. Semiconductor Tensions Reshape Global Tech Landscape

But its happening while China and the U.S. are not getting along about semiconductor parts. The U.S. also wants to make more of these parts at home and rely less on other countries like China and Taiwan. Both countries want to be self sufficient in technology. This could change how things are made and who they are made by. This change does not just affect money and technology. It could make the relationship between countries even worse. People worry it could break up how technology works around the world. As China gets better at making its own semiconductors it could change how trade and new ideas happen everywhere. This affects not just companies and people buying technology but also the leaders who make rules for countries.
