The article text itself is mostly site navigation and membership boilerplate, so detailed policy rationale is not available from this source. Why: If you ship SaaS or infrastructure products into the US market, the delisting of data centers from the critical tech list could signal reduced federal prioritization or fewer export-control frictions around data center components, while the addition of post-quantum cryptography means US-facing products may face future compliance expectations around PQC readiness. Malaysian founders selling into the US should track whether this translates into procurement or grant shifts, but this source alone doesn't confirm that. policy critical-tech post-quantum-cryptography data-centers us-policy
