But China had also emerged as an unlikely beneficiary of the US data centre construction boom, they added.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">While direct exports from China to the US had waned amid tariff wars and geopolitical tensions between the world&rsquo;s two largest economies, China&rsquo;s exports to other Asian economies had increased, the report said. This showed that the country remained &ldquo;enmeshed in Asian supply chains&rdquo; and was probably still benefiting from US AI capital expenditures, albeit indirectly.<\/p>\n<div data-qa=\"InlineAdSlot-Container\" class=\"css-zl1inp e11v3ui14\">\n<div class=\"e11v3ui10 e11v3ui13 css-1xd1hm8 e1flwkbl0\" data-qa=\"AdSlot-Container\">\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\" readability=\"12.065068493151\">Asian countries are capitalising on the boom by exporting goods such as computers and <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">printed circuit board<\/span> (PCB) assemblies. In 2025, the US imported more than six times the number of computers it produced, and 2.6 times as many PCB assemblies, according to data compiled by the consultancy.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">With Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, or TSMC, being the primary producer of US chip giant Nvidia&rsquo;s advanced semiconductors, Taiwan was playing a central role in the global semiconductor market, Oxford Economics said. But other Asian markets also contributed, highlighting strong supply chain links within Asia&rsquo;s tech sectors, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>China profits from US AI boom despite Washington&rsquo;s tech curbs, research says<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China is gaining from America&rsquo;s trillion-dollar artificial intelligence spending spree despite Washington&rsquo;s efforts to curb Chinese technology ties, as the US data centre boom ripples through Asian technology supply chains, according to research by Oxford Economics.
