Ahead of US vote on device testing in mainland China, experts warn of supply chain effects

·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The US Federal Communications Commission is set to vote on a proposal to ban device testing in mainland China by 2028. This move could lead to a shortage of testing facilities and certification backlogs, as China dominates the sector. The potential restrictions could slow down global electronics supply chains and increase costs for manufacturers, particularly American companies that rely heavily on Chinese testing services. This could have significant economic implications, affecting trade and the overall competitiveness of US companies in the global market.
