A senior Trump administration official has defended exports of advanced chips to China, arguing that the US was building its own “digital silk road” to counteract concerns that Washington was eroding the competitiveness of top US models.
Addressing concerns that such exports to China would erode the competitiveness of the most advanced American chips, he said: “that is exactly why the US government has strategically pursued an approach where we have made partnerships in the Gulf that are essentially our equivalent of a digital silk road”.
Helberg was referencing Beijing’s drive to promote critical digital infrastructure around the world as part of the Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure programme.
