US Lawmakers Aim to Keep China's Datacenter Tech out of Sensitive Government Systems

Bipartisan US lawmakers have introduced legislation to prohibit the federal government from using Chinese-made optical transceivers in sensitive government systems, particularly those in AI data centers. The bill targets manufacturers like Eoptolink and Zhongji Innolight, citing national security concerns. The US industry, however, warns this could slow AI infrastructure development and create supply chain challenges.
