Tariffs only accelerate China's self-reliance in high-tech sector
China DailyCai Meng/China Daily In a perilous move to reshape international trade dynamics, the US administration has escalated tariffs on Chinese imports from 10 percent to 20 percent as of March 4, intensifying economic tensions between the world's two largest economies. For instance, in the semiconductor sector, the US Department of Commerce added 140 Chinese entities to its export control list, restricting key chip components like high-bandwidth memory from being exported to China, in order to contain the advancement of China's semiconductor industry. In the renewable energy sector, the Office of the US Trade Representative raised the tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles from 25 percent to 100 percent, in a bid to reduce China's market share in the US and create space for domestic EV industries, reflecting the US' fear of China's leading position in renewable energy technologies. These basic research breakthroughs have enhanced China's scientific and technological innovation capability, facilitating the emergence of new technologies and industries, and helping China secure an advantage in the global technology competition. From chip development to algorithm optimization, collaboration across China's AI industry chain has made the sector more resilient, enabling DeepSeek to achieve technological breakthroughs.
