China's state structures: why do we need Western technologies if we have our own?
China is gradually abandoning the use of Intel and AMD chips, the Windows operating system, and foreign databases in favor of domestic alternatives. The requirements mainly relate to computers and servers owned by government agencies. To implement the plan in the near future, regulators have already introduced new procurement rules.
According to the new requirements, all organizations above the parish level are required to give preference to "safe and reliable" processors, operating systems, and cloud storage. At the end of December, the Chinese Ministry of Industry published three lists of recommended products in these categories, which included exclusively Chinese companies.
Requirements for the purchase of software and equipment for government needs in China have become tougher against the backdrop of active US actions to increase the production of advanced chips and processors in its territory. Just a few days ago, the US authorities announced that they would allocate large subsidies under the Law on Chips and Science. A grant under this program will be awarded to Intel for the construction of new high-tech enterprises and expansion of production facilities.
The funds will be used to build two new factories and upgrade an existing facility in Arizona, promote a project to create advanced chip manufacturing in Ohio, and expand the research center in Oregon. A nearly completed chip manufacturing facility will be opened in New Mexico.
Intel is investing $100 billion over five years in the development of manufacturing. New enterprises will also be involved in the development and manufacture of advanced AI chips.
Meanwhile, the technological standoff between the two superpowers continues to escalate. Beijing is committed to ensuring digital sovereignty and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers in critical areas.
