Chip Talk > China's Strategic Moves in Semiconductor Tariff Policies
Published April 25, 2025
Recent reports suggest China may be poised to ease its hefty 125% tariffs on certain U.S. semiconductor imports, potentially reshaping international trade dynamics in the tech sector. While storage chips remain impacted, others such as those from Qualcomm and Intel could soon enter China duty-free.
This potential tariff relaxation is seen as a reaction to escalating trade talks and an effort to align more closely with U.S. chip exemptions. If these rumors, which emerged from sources like TrendForce, hold true, U.S. semiconductors may find a more welcoming landscape in China, facilitating a more competitive tech market and supporting China’s tech objectives.
