Put US tariffs on all chips made in China, says chair of high-profile House committee

The chair of a high-profile US House committee asked the US trade representative to apply tariffs to all semiconductors made in China and liaise with US allies like Japan and South Korea, even as US President Donald Trump threatens to impose levies on many of those trusted partners.

Testifying at a hearing hosted by the Office of the US Trade Representative, John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party said the USTR should “ensure that specific tariffs apply to any chip fabricated in the PRC and integrated into a final product entering the US”.
