Microsoft supports the Trump administration not to ban imports of Chinese optical communication transmitters.
[News Channel Now] The American technology giant Microsoft is trying in the Trump administration not to ban the import of Chinese optical communication transmitters.
Reuters cited news that the Trump administration is considering banning the import of new optical communication transmitters from China, considering the data security of US data centers. Microsoft, along with other companies and organizations in the industry, lobbied the White House, warning that the ban could slow the development of artificial intelligence data centers in the US and weaken US competitiveness in this field.
Data show that optical communication transmitters manufactured by Chinese companies account for up to two-thirds of the global market, and it is difficult for American companies to replace Chinese suppliers in terms of production volume.
