TechCan the US slow China’s robotics and tech rise?

Humanoid robots have moved beyond the laboratory and are emerging as a major market. Morgan Stanley estimates that the sector could be worth $5 trillion by 2050, with more than one billion humanoids operating worldwide. China is central to the global supply chain, manufacturing robot components at a scale and cost that competitors find difficult to match. The United States has banned imports of foreign-made humanoid robots on national-security grounds and has also blocked power inverters used in data centres.
