Breaking: Senate Passes Bill to Increase Domestic Computer Chip Production amid Competition with China

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill Wednesday aimed at increasing domestic production of computer chips in order for the U.S. to compete more effectively against China in the global technology market.

The CHIPS-plus or Chips and Science Act, passed in a 64-33 vote, and now heads to the House. The measure includes over $52 billion for the domestic production of computer chips and other technologies.
