The US-China tech tensions have also been fueled by Washington's announcement in mid-August that it will further strengthen restrictions on Huawei and its efforts to get other countries to impose restrictions on the Chinese tech giant. In addition, President Donald Trump has issued an executive order prohibiting US companies from conducting transactions with TikTok's owner ByteDance.
