The US government blacklisted more Chinese semiconductor companies on Tuesday, marking one of the latest attempts by the Biden administration to block China's ability to access and produce chips to advance artificial intelligence for military applications or attacks against the US.
According to the Internet Society of China statement, the new US measures have "substantially damaged the healthy and stable development of China's internet industry" and shaken confidence in US chip products.
