On October 23rd, according to Reuters, the Trump administration is considering a harmful move to restrict the export of software driven products to China, covering products from laptops to jet engines, as a response to China's rare earth policy.

But these individuals also pointed out that the plan may not be implemented in the end and will only be used to pressure China. American analysts have warned that implementing such software regulations is extremely difficult and could backfire on American industry.

I can confirm that everything is under consideration, "US Treasury Secretary Besson responded to reporters on the 22nd local time when asked about the issue at the White House." If these export controls occur, whether it's software, engines, or other products, we may coordinate with allied countries such as the G7. ”

It is currently unclear how serious this plan is. Implementing comprehensive technological restrictions on China could disrupt global trade, especially in technology products, and if fully implemented, could also harm the US economy.

The White House declined to comment. The US Department of Commerce, which is responsible for export control, did not respond to a request for comment.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United States did not comment on the above plan, but stated that China firmly opposes the United States' implementation of unilateral long arm jurisdiction measures. The spokesperson emphasized that if the United States continues to take the wrong path, China will take decisive measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.
