Why is the United States Worried About Traditional Chinese Chips?
zhōng guó中国shēng chǎn生产de的chuán tǒng传统xīn piàn芯片yuè lái yuè越来越duō多 ，zhè这ràng让měi guó美国hěn很dān xīn担心 。
China is producing more and more traditional chips, which worries the United States.
měi guó美国rèn wéi认为 ，rú guǒ如果tài太duō多chǎn pǐn产品yòng用zhōng guó中国xīn piàn芯片 ，měi guó美国huì会biàn dé变得yī lài依赖zhōng guó中国 ，zhè这duì对guó jiā国家ān quán安全bù hǎo不好 。
The U.S. believes that if too many products use Chinese chips, the U.S. will become dependent on China, which is bad for national security.
chuán tǒng传统xīn piàn芯片yòng用zài在hěn很duō多dì fāng地方 ，bǐ rú比如qì chē汽车 、jiā diàn家电 、yī liáo医疗shè bèi设备hé和diàn xìn电信děng等 。
Traditional chips are used in many places, such as cars, home appliances, medical devices, and telecommunications.
rú guǒ如果zhōng guó中国chéng wéi成为zhè xiē这些xīn piàn芯片de的zuì dà最大gōng yìng shāng供应商 ，měi guó美国dān xīn担心yí dàn一旦yǒu有wèn tí问题 ，hěn很duō多zhòng yào重要chǎn pǐn产品jiù就huì会shòu dào受到yǐng xiǎng影响 。
If China becomes the largest supplier of these chips, the U.S. worries that if problems arise, many important products will be affected.
měi guó zhèng fǔ美国政府zhèng zài正在kǎo lǜ考虑duì对zhōng guó中国xīn piàn芯片jiā shōu加收guān shuì关税 ，xī wàng希望jiǎn shǎo减少duì对zhōng guó中国xīn piàn芯片de的yī lài依赖 。
The U.S. government is considering imposing additional tariffs on Chinese chips to reduce dependence on them.
dàn shì但是 ，hěn很duō多chǎn pǐn产品lǐ miàn里面de的xīn piàn芯片hěn很nán难fēn qīng分清shì bú shì是不是zhōng guó zhì zào中国制造de的 ，suǒ yǐ所以jiā加shuì税bìng并bù不róng yì容易 。
However, it is difficult to tell if the chips inside many products are made in China, so imposing tariffs is not easy.
rú guǒ如果duì对suǒ yǒu所有hán yǒu含有zhōng guó中国xīn piàn芯片de的chǎn pǐn产品dōu都jiā加shuì税 ，kě néng可能huì会ràng让hěn很duō多shāng pǐn商品biàn变guì贵 ，duì对měi guó美国gōng sī公司hé和xiāo fèi zhě消费者dōu都yǒu有yǐng xiǎng影响 。
If tariffs are applied to all products containing Chinese chips, many goods might become more expensive, affecting both U.S. companies and consumers.
měi guó美国yě也dān xīn担心zhōng guó中国xiàng像yǐ qián以前zài在tài yáng néng太阳能hé和diàn dòng chē电动车lǐng yù领域nà yàng那样 ，tōng guò通过dī jià低价dà liàng大量chū kǒu出口xīn piàn芯片 ，yǐng xiǎng影响quán qiú全球shì chǎng市场 。
The U.S. also worries that China might, like before in solar energy and electric vehicles, export chips in large quantities at low prices, affecting the global market.
suī rán虽然zhōng guó中国xīn piàn芯片zài在měi guó美国shì chǎng市场de的shù liàng数量bù suàn不算zuì最duō多 ，dàn但měi guó美国hái shì还是xī wàng希望bǎo hù保护zì jǐ自己de的xīn piàn芯片chǎn yè产业 ，bǎo zhèng保证guó jiā国家ān quán安全 。
Although Chinese chips are not the most numerous in the U.S. market, the U.S. still wants to protect its chip industry and ensure national security.
