New White House Counterterrorism Strategy Singles Out ‘Radical Islamists

 

he Trump administration is implementing a new, government-wide counterterrorism strategy that places renewed focus on combatting "radical Islamic terrorist groups," marking a significant departure from the Obama administration, which implemented a series of policies aimed at deemphasizing the threat of Islamic terror groups.

 

In releasing the first national counterterrorism strategy since 2011, the Trump administration is working to take a drastically different approach than that of the former administration, according to senior U.S. officials.

Motorola sells chip plant to China’s SMIC

 

Motorola China Electronics Ltd. has signed an agreement to sell its MOS-17 chip fabrication plant (fab) in the northeastern Chinese city of Tianjin to Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), according to a Motorola statement.

 

The announcement comes as Motorola looks to get out of the chip-making business. Earlier this month, the company announced plans to spin off its Semiconductor Products Sector, which makes networking processors, applications processors for handheld devices, and digital signal processors.

 

MOS-17, which is used to produce microcontrollers and other chips, is Motorola’s only fab in China and was one of the first advanced chip plants built there. Construction of the US$1.9 billion fab began in 1997 but was halted in 1998 as a result of the Asian financial crisis. Work on the plant resumed in 2000 and Motorola began production at the plant using 200-millimeter silicon wafers in 2001.
