Beijing has introduced new directives aimed at gradually eliminating Intel and AMD microprocessors from government computers and servers. More restrictive rules also target Microsoft's Windows operating system.
As Washington imposes sanctions on a growing number of Chinese companies, Beijing is retaliating and seeking to reduce its dependence on American technologies. Last year, the Asian giant represented 27% of Intel's turnover and 15% of AMD's.. The measures taken by Beijing in recent months risk having a considerable impact on the American giants.
