The European Union is set to join Pax Silica, a Washington-led initiative to coordinate export controls and co-investment in advanced chips aimed at curbing China's technological rise, particularly in AI.
In recent weeks, Brussels has been debating whether to sign up to the initiative, which the US launched last December to secure global supply chains for AI chips, critical minerals and advanced technologies.
The UK, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia have already joined, as have three EU member states — Greece, Finland and Sweden.
