European Commission considers joining Pax Silica alliance to counter China in semiconductor and AI supply chain security.
The European Union is in discussions to join the US-led Pax Silica alliance, aimed at securing supply chains for semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The move reflects growing concerns over China’s dominance in critical tech sectors and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Pax Silica, launched earlier this year, seeks to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing by fostering alternative production hubs. The EU’s potential participation follows recent trade tensions and export restrictions targeting advanced chip technology.
No formal decision has been announced, but officials indicate alignment with broader transatlantic efforts to strengthen tech resilience. Market analysts suggest the alliance could reshape global semiconductor trade flows if finalized.
