United States President Donald Trump’s administration has ordered US firms that offer software used to design semiconductors to stop selling their services to Chinese groups, the Financial Times has reported, citing people familiar with the move.

Electronic design automation software makers, which include Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA, were told via letters from the US Commerce Department to stop supplying their tech, the report, which was published on Wednesday, said.

This is why China is working on building their own chip infrastructure. Eventually their tech will be on par with the US. It's only a matter of time.

I am aware that TSMC makes the majority of their chips in Taiwan, but I believe that this initiative was happening before the skinless cantaloupe took office.
