China has reportedly implemented new guidelines phasing out US-made microprocessors from government PCs and servers. This means domestic alternatives will slowly replace Intel and AMD chips.
The Financial Times reported on Sunday that the stricter government procurement policy also aims to sideline Microsoft’s Windows operating system and foreign database software in favor of Chinese-developed options.
Government agencies are instructed to prioritize “safe and reliable” processors and operating systems when purchasing.
This policy aligns with China’s broader push for technological self-reliance. The country is investing heavily in domestic chip development to reduce its dependence on foreign technology, particularly from the US.
