US shouldn't restrict China's access to cloud computing and semiconductors

This illustration photo shows big data and clouding computing technologies. Restricting China's access to cloud computing and semiconductors may seem like a viable strategy to safeguard national interests, but a deeper analysis reveals the potential drawbacks and missed opportunities such restrictions bring. Instead of trying to thwart Chinese technological development, the United States should put efforts into dialogue with China to establish frameworks for cooperation that safeguard both national interests and global security. Restricting China's access to cloud computing and semiconductors will only harm American businesses and impede technological advancement, undermining the country's global competitiveness. In an increasingly interconnected world, isolating and restricting China's access to cloud computing and semiconductors would be a counterproductive move.
