    Proposed GUARD Act Targets Chinese Dominance in Global Robotics Market

    Question

    Proposed GUARD Act Targets Chinese Dominance in Global Robotics Market

    Direct answer

    The GUARD Act represents a new front in the US-China tech war, moving beyond chips into 'Physical AI'. With Chinese firms dominating 90% of the robotics market, the US is attempting to use federal procurement as a lever to build domestic capacity. This policy could force a rapid decoupling in the robotics supply chain, impacting everything from sensors to actuators.
