US-China Tech Wars Escalate: Commerce Department Revokes Huawei Licenses Amidst China's Investment in RISC-V Technology

In recent news, the US and China are engaged in a new phase of their tech wars, with the Commerce Department revoking certain licenses for exporting US technology to Huawei Technologies. This comes as China heavily invests in open source chip design technology RISC-V and uses it in military applications. The Biden administration is also reportedly considering restricting imports of semiconductors with

How the latest phase of the US-China tech wars will shape the energy transition

The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited The Economist Friday, 10 May 2024 00:00
  • Unique Points
    • RISC-V is a chip design technology that is open source and widely adopted in industry as an alternative to expensive, closed-source semiconductors.
    • China is heavily investing in RISC-V and using it in military applications.
    • During the Cold War, redundancy was essential to success. In the chip wars, Congress should utilize dual sourcing in supply chains for key sectors of the economy and build redundant, overlapping systems.

    The author uses an analogy of the 'capitalists selling us the rope with which we will hang them' and 'choist with his own petard' to warn about potential risks of technological innovations. This is an example of a metaphorical fallacy as it is not a logical argument but rather a figurative way of expressing concern. The author also uses an appeal to authority when he states that 'during the half-century of the Cold War, deterrence was nuclear' and 'victory meant that the weapons were never used and all of the world won'. This is not a logical argument but rather an assertion based on historical events. However, these fallacies do not significantly impact the overall quality of the article as they do not detract from its main points or arguments.
    • Vladimir Lenin never said, ‘The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them,’ but the warning is an ancient one. Shakespeare’s turn of phrase was Hamlet’s wish that a rival be ‘Choist with his own petard,’ meaning blown up by his own bomb.
