This research paper delves into the complexities of technological decoupling between the United States and China, focusing on the semiconductor industry. The paper analyses the driving forces behind the intensifying trade conflict and strategic U.S. policies to curb China’s technological progress. Furthermore, the paper explores China’s countermeasures to mitigate the repercussions of U.S. policies.

The paper exemplifies a range of critical factors affecting economic competition, intellectual property and trade, national security, and global impact. Additionally, it provides an in-depth examination of the investigation into Huawei and ZTE, 2 of the leading Chinese technological MNCs(Multinational Corporations), highlighting the broader implications for the U.S. and Chinese semiconductor industries.
