Washington/Beijing, September 18, 2025 – The US-China tech war has escalated further, with new restrictions creating uncertainty for global markets.
China has reportedly banned several domestic firms from purchasing Nvidia’s advanced AI chips, citing national security and self-reliance concerns. The move could slow down China’s AI development in the short term but may accelerate Beijing’s push to build homegrown semiconductor capacity.
At the same time, Washington continues to pressure ByteDance over TikTok’s future in the U.S. A proposed deal under discussion would see U.S. investors take majority control, while ByteDance retains a minority stake. Officials argue this is essential for protecting American users’ data security.
Industry experts warn that the tech rivalry goes beyond trade—it is about AI supremacy and geopolitical influence. Ongoing restrictions are likely to affect global supply chains, semiconductor markets, and billions of social media users worldwide.
The US-China tech conflict is shaping the future of technology, trade, and international politics.
