NEW YORK -- The U.S. Senate voted to move forward with the $52 billion CHIPS Act on Tuesday, more than a year after the initial version of the bill was passed.

The bill, which promises tax breaks and subsidies for companies investing in semiconductor manufacturing in America, has been positioned by lawmakers as a key part of the ongoing U.S.-China competition both economically and as a matter of national security.
