[The U.S. Announces No Additional Tariffs on Chinese Chips for the Next 18 Months] The U.S. government announced on the 23rd that it will impose tariffs on Chinese chips starting in 2027, while ending the trade investigation into Chinese chips initiated by the previous Biden administration. Although the U.S. government believes that practices in China's chip industry 'harm U.S. interests,' it has decided not to impose additional tariffs for at least the next 18 months. Bloomberg stated that this move is the latest signal of the U.S. government seeking to stabilize U.S.-China relations.
