Such a ban would have more macro consequences for China's technology industry an industry currently building out its Greater Silicon Valley in the southeast, a development project that was in the works even before Trump was elected. It said SMIC products are “solely for civilian and commercial end-users and end-uses.” “We have no relationship with the Chinese military,” the company said in a statement. firms might be banned from supplying them with chip hardware used for the military. said SIMC is a Chinese defense contractor and U.S. SMIC is a leader in the burgeoning mainland China semiconductor industry, an industry being funded by state banks in an effort to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign microchips. We're still waiting for the other shoe to drop on potential export controls against SMIC, notes Marro. If the Republicans are in the minority position, a position many Republican observers suggest they prefer, they will seek to label Biden as pro-China if he does not continue with these policies.Ī Trump presidency will surely continue them, and that is when China could go ham. Will a Biden presidency maintain this kind of pressure on QQ, WeChat and Huawei? for picking on TikTok, Huawei and now WeChat and QQ - but that will change after the election. Meanwhile, China has not used tit-for-tat measures against the U.S. Going forward, multinational companies will have to deal with a tech decoupling, and new risk of doing business with China tech companies that could quicken a severing of ties in the worst case for Beijing, or a rejiggering of the China dominant supply chain into other Asian nations, still run by Chinese capital and management. “Those are allegations that China's tech firms have had to increasingly fight off over the past few years, and it's something that's going to persist,” thinks Nick Marro, lead analyst for global trade at The Economist Intelligence Unit, the business intel division of The Economist magazine.

The specifics of the Oracle-TikTok deal are unclear, with key words such as “tech partnership” not sounding at all like a traditional acquisition. The popular web conference company Zoom is run by a Chinese born techie named Eric Yuan, but he is based in California. But TikTok put China on the map as a global app developer for the first time.
That tends to be enough, given that China has hundreds of millions of internet users with cell phones.
Most of China’s apps, including WeChat and QQ, are local phenomenons. News broke on Sunday about Oracle’s deal with ByteDance’s TikTok, the first Chinese app to go global. That review is actually not complete, nearly 11 months later.
