The US export controls on advanced chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China have created significant disruptions in global supply chains and impacted China's technological ambitions. These restrictions aim to limit China's progress in critical areas like AI, high-performance computing, and military applications. However, the actual effects—how Chinese companies are adapting, whether domestic alternatives are emerging, and whether technological progress has been meaningfully slowed—remain unclear. A detailed, data-driven analysis could provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and investors navigating this complex landscape.
One way to assess the effectiveness of these controls would be to examine how Chinese tech firms are responding. This could involve:
Expert interviews could further validate these findings, offering nuanced perspectives on enforcement challenges and unintended consequences.
Different groups have competing interests in this space:
Balancing these perspectives would help create a comprehensive view of the export controls' real-world impact.
A phased approach could make this analysis manageable:
The results could be monetized through research reports, consulting services, or subscription-based updates, catering to businesses and policymakers who need timely, in-depth analysis.
By focusing on both macro trends and micro-level corporate responses, this project could fill a gap between high-level policy discussions and episodic news coverage, offering a clearer picture of how export controls are reshaping the global tech landscape.
