Last week, U.S. president Joe Biden signed an executive order to review bottlenecks and vulnerabilities of global supply chain, implying a possible revision of some restrictions on semiconductor industry applied by former administration. It is still a question how much of a difference to expect, but Jimmy Goodrich from Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) asserted that China’s semiconductor market is crucial to the U.S.

Jimmy Goodrich is Vice President of Global Policy at SIA, and a member of the Executive Committee for Beijing-based United States Information Technology Office (USITO).
