The news

USA and China are embroiled in a trade war from long time.
Amidst all these we see that China being a manufacturing super power has been at receiving end as USA is looking to cut China out of Tech supply line and bring others players like Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam etc on board.
Recently the American officials met with several top Taiwanese chipmakers whose products are used by Huawei Technologies.
Washington has accused the Huawei of spying for Beijing.

Direct Action
- In last one year, Washington has revised its export control rules three times to target Huawei.
- Over last two years, the Trump administration has accelerated its efforts to blacklist Chinese companies by placing them on the so-called Entity List, adding some 70 more companies and organizations so far.

Forcing others to abandon China
- What started as U.S. government pressure on American companies to boycott specific Chinese entities has since become a concerted effort to force non-U.S. suppliers to join a wholesale blockade of Chinese technology.
- The U.S. is now aiming to “suppress Beijing’s techno-authoritarianism model“.
- In the latest meeting with Taiwanese officials, the message was clear – Move production facilities out of China, reduce ties with Chinese clients like Huawei and stand with the U.S. or Become Washington’s next target
