Recently, sources in Washington said that the US government is preparing to announce a series of new sanctions targeting China's high-tech sector. This is part of a strategy to contain Beijing's technological ambitions and AI militarization.
🔍 Main content of the punishment plan:
Expanded “blacklist” (Entity List): Dozens more Chinese companies will be banned from accessing US technology, especially in the fields of AI, semiconductors, and chip design software.
Close monitoring of subsidiaries: Companies based outside China but with equity ownership from Chinese companies will also be subject to similar controls.
Strengthening ties with allies: The US is pushing G7 countries, especially Japan, South Korea and the EU, to adopt similar measures to create a global posture.
⚙️ US strategic goals:
Restrict China's access to advanced technology.
Prevent the militarization of AI and quantum computing.
Protect America's edge in high-tech global value chains.
📉 Impact on technology & financial markets:
Tech stocks can be volatile.
Chip companies in the US and Taiwan face pressure on supply and market share.
China could boost domestic technology development, creating fierce long-term competition.
🪙 📊 IMPACT ON CRYPTO MARKET:
Crypto Market Under Short-Term Pressure: Risk Sentiment Elevated as Global Investments Turn Cautious Over Geopolitical and Technological Turbulence
Blockchain projects in China such as #conflux ($CFX ), $NEO , Filecoin… may be directly affected if they are put on the US restricted list.
#stablecoin and #defi may become more attractive: As the US tightens its grip on traditional technology, investors in Asia tend to look to crypto as a hedge or liquidity alternative.
$TON and related projects #Telegram may be of interest**: In the context of Telegram not being dependent on US infrastructure, and expanding its own separate Web3 network.
Bitcoin's hashrate is still partly dependent on China, so technological restrictions could affect mining operations in some regions.
🔮 Conclusion:
Tech sanctions are the next big weapon in the US-China war. But this time, the impact goes beyond chips and AI, and extends to the decentralized finance market, where crypto is at the center.
📌 Keeping a steady mind, closely monitoring geopolitical developments, and prioritizing assets with solid fundamentals will be vital strategies in the current uncertain times.
