How it started
What happened
The United States has been restricting China’s access to advanced semiconductors, a policy described as 'strategic exclusion'. During a recent summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with President Donald Trump in Washington, where unresolved flashpoints included Taiwan, artificial intelligence, and rare earths. Experts note that dialogue between the two nations regarding AI risks is still in its early stages.

Why it matters
The growing willingness of major powers to restrict rivals' access and influence imposes costs on competitors. This strategic exclusion, which operates through technology and economic relationships, can encourage countermeasures and narrow the space for major powers to coexist.
