Beijing's been pushing in this direction for a long time, but this is the first time it's laid down orders to govt agencies with measurable targets. The goal is clear: to lessen the harm of future US sanctions, says @pstAsiatech. Our @FT scoop https://t.co/nRhO6VfMn7

My take:
* China may fall further behind
* Chips may be OK
* A lot of unknowns = not good news
The market's attention is all on deal or no deal.

But there should be no doubt that China maintains a host of discriminatory policies. I have long thought "buy Chinese" import substitution policies should be a bigger U.S. priority for example.https://t.co/9IpuawzsTd
This has nothing to do with decoupling obviously and is similar to Buy American Act. But certain to roil relations with EU which wanted to open Chinese public procurement, not close it furtherhttps://t.co/Hk1ABMgwlS

Probably bullish for Semis & bearish for software including $MSFT. Either way it’s a win as China wont be able to keep up with Western technology development if they shun all western OS & eventually hardware.

Beijing orders gov't agencies to replace foreign PCs and software: No surprise with Trump's toxic trade war. And, given the grey area of SOEs and PRC private sector the impact may be quite broad. A step backward.
