    Some 70% of the world's microchips (also known as semiconductors) are
    made in Taiwan and South Korea. Late last year, the Trump
    administration blacklisted dozens of Chinese companies, including the communist nation’s top chipmaker. The aim was to cut off U.S.
    technology from being used to make advanced weapons for the Chinese
    military.

    The Biden administration has followed suit.

    Two weeks ago, the White House blacklisted seven Chinese companies to
    keep the largest chipmaker in the world, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), from selling advanced microchips to
    China. Those chips would have been used to make advanced weapons as
    well, officials said when announcing the sanctions. Beijing continues
    to lag in domestic manufacturing of computer chips and relies on
    imports to support its growing economy.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the USA is correct in their speculations and if China is already at their late stages of developing an android/mechanical soldier or what, given how they have been aggressive in amassing resources these recent years.
