News US to increase tariffs on Chinese semiconductors by 100% in 2025 — officials say it protects the $53 billion spent on the CHIPS Act

[icemilkcoffee]

The real problem with the CHIPS act is that it focuses too heavily on processors, and not DRAM.
Something like 90% of DRAM is produced in South Korea, despite Micron (USA) having 19% market share.

Micron also got money from the CHIPS Act to build fabs in Idaho and New York.

Will anyone outside the US be able to afford 'Made in USA'?

Wow, this logic is incomprehensible, so on the one hand, US wants to close the trade deficit gap but on the other, they said ‘you can’t buy anything from us’… How does this even work? So why not just cut all trade ties and call it a day? No longer have to worry about trade deficit if there’s no trade. This constantly changing rules and piece meal attack is only hurting the consumers, playing with our wallets. It is time for their accountability.
First they said they don’t want a trade war, then they go ahead and make an ongoing one even worse. If that don’t make them liars, then they need to change the definition of that word.

LOLsss, even majority of the population in the US cannot afford ‘Made in USA’ , Let’s be honest, this so called movement to bring manufacturing back to America will not succeed, they’ll just move to Vietnam, Cambodia, India…wherever there’s cheap labor. With how things are going in terms of protectionism and decentralization, soon most major countries(EXCEPT USA) will only sell products manufactured in their own country even if the brand/parent company is from elsewhere. That’s because it’s the only solution to satisfy the needs of many.
