U.S. Plans 2027 Tariffs on Chinese Chips, Pausing New Tariffs for 18 Months to Bolster U.S.–China Truce

COINOTAG News, citing Global Times, reports that on December 23 the U.S. signaled tariffs on Chinese chips set for 2027, closing the trade probe opened under the prior administration.

U.S. media analysts note that while officials argue Chinese chip practices hurt U.S. interests, the decision is to avoid new tariffs for at least 18 months.

Bloomberg frames the delay as a signal of a reaffirmed U.S.-China truce and a move to stabilize bilateral relations.

For the crypto sector, macro policy shifts in tech and chip supply can influence mining hardware costs, equipment deployment, and risk sentiment. While no direct crypto mandate is announced, investors should monitor tariff timelines and semiconductor policy as they shape infrastructure planning.
