Trump administration drafting ban on Chinese data center devices, sources say
The Trump administration is drafting a ban on U.S. imports of new Chinese data center components to safeguard AI infrastructure, according to sources. The Federal Communications Commission plans to prohibit imports of Chinese optical transceivers, which are vital for data transmission in data centers, with hopes to implement the ban this year. The move aims to prevent data theft and service disruptions, although the FCC could still modify or abandon the restriction.
