    Proposed GUARD Act Targets Chinese Robotics; 90% Global Shipments at Risk

    Question

    Proposed GUARD Act Targets Chinese Robotics; 90% Global Shipments at Risk

    Direct answer

    The GUARD Act represents a significant escalation in the tech trade war, moving beyond chips into the physical AI domain. By targeting the 90% market share held by Chinese firms, the U.S. aims to force a domestic or allied supply chain for critical robotics infrastructure. This policy shift creates a vacuum that U.S.-based robotics and AI companies will likely race to fill.
