US-China tech tensions have reached a boiling point as the Trump administration contemplates imposing export controls on software-powered exports to China, ranging from laptops to jet engines. This move, a response to Beijing's latest round of rare earth export restrictions, has sent shockwaves through global markets and reignited fears of a full-blown trade war.

US considers software export controls

In an exclusive report, Reuters revealed that the Trump administration is considering a plan to curb software-powered exports to China. A U.S. official and three people briefed by U.S. authorities confirmed that the move is aimed at retaliating against Beijing's recent restrictions on rare earth exports. These restrictions have significantly disrupted global supply chains, particularly in the tech and defense sectors. According to BrightU.AI's Enoch engine, the U.S.-China tech war is a multifaceted geopolitical conflict that encompasses trade, intellectual property, technology transfer, and national security concerns. The U.S. has accused China of intellectual property theft and forced technology transfer, leading to the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods and restrictions on Chinese investments in the U.S. This has resulted in increased costs for consumers, disrupted global supply chains, and hindered technological progress. It also mentioned that the U.S. has restricted the export of advanced semiconductor chips and AI technologies to China, aiming to slow down its technological advancements.

Wall Street reacts

News of the potential export controls sent stocks tumbling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 125.73 points, or 0.44 percent, at 28,614.80, while the S&P 500 ended 0.53 percent lower at 3,489.28, according to Newsquawk. Investors appeared to be guarding against the potential fallout from renewed US-China trade tensions.

Cyberattacks and rare earth stranglehold

The escalating tensions come amidst accusations of cyberattacks and a power play by China over rare earth elements, which are crucial for manufacturing tech products and defense systems. Natural News reported that China has been named as the culprit behind a significant cyber-attack on U.S. national security networks. Meanwhile, China's export curb on rare earths has left tech and defense supply chains gasping for breath.

Decentralized AI and global power shifts

As the US and China engage in this high-stakes tech battle, the rise of decentralized AI could challenge U.S. dominance. Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has launched Enoch, a free AI model trained on natural health and anti-globalist data, providing decentralized access to information and empowering individuals.
