The United States has ended the previous administration's investigation into China's chip trade and will not impose additional tariffs on Chinese chips for the next 18 months

The U.S. government announced on the 23rd that it will impose tariffs on Chinese chips in 2027, ending the trade investigation against Chinese chips initiated by the previous Biden administration.

U.S. media analysis states that although the U.S. government claims that China's practices in the chip industry "harm U.S. interests," the final decision is to refrain from imposing additional tariffs on Chinese chips for at least 18 months. Bloomberg reported that the delay in imposing new tariffs is the latest signal from the U.S. government seeking to solidify the U.S.-China "ceasefire" agreement and stabilize U.S.-China relations.
