Chinese optical chip stocks dropped sharply amid fears the US Federal Communications Commission might introduce restrictions on next-generation optical transceivers critical for AI data centres, potentially favouring US suppliers over Chinese ones. Market reactions highlight concern over a 65% US-content mandate that could disrupt Chinese suppliers’ upstream laser chip production and supply chains.
