In an effort to protect its technological interests and contain China's military potential, President Biden's administration took a decisive step. On October 28, the U.S. Treasury Department unveiled new rules that significantly limit investments and technical assistance from American companies in the development of key sectors of the Chinese economy. The focus turned to technologies that are important for future military, cybersecurity and intelligence operations: semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The introduction of these rules, which take effect on January 2, is part of a broader U.S. strategy to limit China's access to technologies that can be used to pose a threat to national security. The Biden administration stresses that the purpose of these measures is to prevent China from receiving «intangible benefits» from US financial support, including improving its reputation, market access and attracting highly qualified personnel.
