Trump regulation puts AI data centers on alert; costs could jump if Chinese equipment is blocked
The U.S. boom in building AI data centers is heightening supply-chain risks tied to reliance on Chinese power and optical communications equipment. If Washington tightens restrictions on national security grounds, shortages and higher costs could slow data center construction. Key components such as transformers, switchgear, batteries and optical transceivers depend heavily on China, while existing supply shortfalls for power equipment are already emerging, with limited near-term substitution capacity.

U.S. weighs restricting China-made optical transceivers used in AI data centers
The Donald Trump administration is pushing measures to restrict key China-made components used to build AI data centers, expanding controls from semiconductors and AI models to data center network equipment. The U.S. government is reviewing limits on the domestic use of China-made optical transceivers, potentially through the Federal Communications Commission. Washington cites national security risks such as data leaks, malware and service disruption. Firms including Zhongji Innolight, Coherent and Lumentum are in focus.
