Chinese semiconductor producers are struggling to make worldwide acquisitions because of the ongoing trade conflict between their country and the US. Pi Bo, CTO and CEO of fingerprint sensor chips maker Shenzhen Goodix Technology, told Nikkei Asian Review that tech companies' inability to purchase US firms has been the biggest impact from a dispute that has encompassed US displeasure at China not safeguarding intellectual property rights and forcing technology transfers. The remarks by Pi Bo, chief technology and chief operating officer at Goodix, come as the U.S. and China attempt to negotiate an end to a year of tensions in which Washington has repeatedly accused Beijing of failing to protect intellectual property rights and forcing technology transfers. The Trump administration is considering imposing tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of imports from China, which would be the largest such move since President Donald Trump's inauguration.
